Trademarks

As your intellectual property and business law attorneys, we wish to do more than simply help you complete a trademark application. We strive to be a critical part of your business. Our trademark practice is typified by a high level of interaction with our business clients and an ongoing relationship. Our clients see us as an integral part of their business success.

Copyrights

If you are an author, songwriter or artist, the best way to protect your creative output is by copyrighting your work. A broad range of things may be copyrighted, including creative, intellectual or artistic works. Our firm can help guide you through the steps of both obtaining and enforcing a copyright to ensure that the expressions of your ideas are protected.

Patents

Patents protect inventors for a specific period of time, providing them with exclusive rights to their inventions. Patent law requires special training and specific bar admission. Our patent attorneys possess the technical and narrow knowledge of patents. Our firm does not prosecute or file for patents; however, we do provide referral services within this area.

If you already have a patent from the Patent Trademark Office, our firm is happy to help you know how to license it to manufacturers or end users. We can also help you protect it from infringement.

Trade Secrets

You have a plan — a formula, practice, process, pattern or design that is not generally known and which differentiates your products or services from similar businesses. You want to protect and/or market it, but you don’t have the legal or business experience needed to accomplish this. Trust the trade secrets attorneys of Clark & Allen, P.C., to help ensure that your revolutionary or innovative ideas are shielded from competitors and disloyal employees. We can help you develop and negotiate trade secret agreements between and within businesses to ensure your trade secret does not become public knowledge.
