Intellectual Property

Book A Free Consultation

In today’s competitive business world, the most important aspect of your business is arguably its identity. Without the ideas and branding that make it what it is and set it apart, it can get lost in the sea of other similar consumer options. You need to make sure that no one can capitalize off your ideas and branding – that they can’t steal what you created – if you want your business to be successful. In practical terms, this means you need to legally secure your business with the right trademarks, copyrights, patents, and other protections you’re able to put in place. Doing so can be complicated, but Green Legal Group is here to help!

Our knowledgeable attorneys can assist Utah businesses of all sizes with intellectual property protection and litigation, creating a crisis management strategy, and more. Call our experienced intellectual property protection lawyers at Green Legal Group today to schedule a free consultation and learn about your next steps.

When You Need To Secure Your Company’s Most Valuable Assets, Green Legal Group Can Make Sure That Your Business Is Safe.

Intellectual property is essentially the defining component of any business. What would Nike be without their swish logo? What about a new invention – how would the owner get the proper credit? Intellectual property needs to be protected because it is critical to a business’s profitability.

“Intellectual property” is a broad term that includes:

Trademarks: Symbols, names, phrases, insignias, and images used in business.
Patents: Exclusive rights for an invention.
Copyright: Creator’s rights to their literary and artistic works (including books, paintings, sculptures, music, films, maps, advertisements, computer programs, and databases).
Trade secrets: Confidential information which gives a company an advantage over others. This may be a formula, recipe, design, pattern, or proprietary process.
Franchises: Licenses that a company (franchisor) sells to other parties (franchisee) so they can sell a product or provide a service under the franchisor’s name. (Think Burger King, or H&R Block.)

If you have intellectual properties such as these (and if you own a business, you do!), protecting them is critical. Without having legal protection, you risk:

Lost profits (when someone infringes and uses your idea or sells your product)
Ruined reputation (if a dishonest company or individual claims to have had the idea first)
Expensive litigation (to either sue for infringement by another party on your intellectual property or when they sue you)

These and a variety of other issues can arise from failing to protect your intellectual property, and all of them have the same result: you, your business, and your employees will suffer. Don’t leave everything you’ve worked for vulnerable! Our knowledgeable Utah intellectual property attorneys can save you time, money, and stress. We focus on strategically guarding your business assets, allowing you to focus on what you do best – running your business. We will review all of your intellectual property, explain your legal options, and handle all of the paperwork related to the lengthy, involved application process (and the appeals process, if necessary).

Need To Initiate Litigation, Or Already Facing It? Our Firm Can Protect Your Rights In Court.

What if you’ve already discovered someone is using your property without permission and is damaging your profitability? Or maybe you’re being sued by someone who claims you’re infringing on their intellectual property? Lawsuits are expensive endeavors with serious legal and financial consequences. You need legal representation to navigate the labyrinth of intellectual property lawsuits; our aggressive attorneys are well-equipped to fight for your rights and defend your intellectual property. Typically, our lawyers will first attempt to use mediation, arbitration, or negotiation to settle your case, as this is a more cost-effective and less public option, but if a fair outcome cannot be reached, we’re not afraid to go to trial if necessary. We will do everything in our power to preserve the integrity of your business and ensure that you can keep moving forward toward your goals and objectives, despite the lawsuit.
