business
lawyer,
Matt
brings
practical
solutions
and
strategic
representation
to
benefit

Whether
the
matter
involves
a
trademark

intellectual
property,
or
negotiating
the
sale
or
acquisition
of
intellectual
property,
Matt
delivers trusted guidance and skilled advocacy while pursuing the best interests of his clients.
Some
aspects
of
other
areas
of
the
law,
such
as
freedom
of
speech
and
unfair
competition,
often
are
intertwined
with
intellectual
property
matters.
Internet
activities
also
frequently
involve
intellectual
property
law
matters
such
as
domain
name
and
trademark
rights,
copyrights
for
website
content
and
related
software,
patents
for
unique
business
methods
and
trade
secret
protections
for
proprietary information.
Copyright Protection for Original Works
Copyrights
protect
“original
works
of
authorship,”
including
literary,
dramatic,
musical,
artistic
and
certain
other
intellectual
works.
Books,
paintings,
films,
sound
recordings
and
software
are
some
of
the
“works
of
authorship”
that
may
be
protected
by
copyrights.
Design
elements
in
a
functional
item,
such
as
an
artistic
design
for
the
legs
of
a
chair,
may
also
be
protected
by
copyrights.
There
are
common
law
copyrights
that,
in
the
United
States,
automatically
arise
with
the
creation
of
the
works.
Registering
a
copyrightable
work
with
the United States Copyright Office provides additional advantages and protections to the copyright owner.
Protect Your Invention
Trademarks
and
service
marks
are
used
on
or
in
connection
with
goods
(trademarks)
or
services
(service
marks)
sold
in
commerce.
Exclusive
rights
to
a
trademark
or
service
mark
can
be
obtained
based
on
actual
use
of
the
mark
in
commerce.
Rights
based
on
such
use
are
known
as
common
law
rights.
Superior
protection
for
a
trademark
or
service
mark
may
be
obtained
under
the
Lanham
Act
by
registering
the
mark
with
the
United
States
Patent
and
Trademark
Office.
Trademark
and
service
mark
applications
may
be
filed
on
the
basis
of
actual
use
(for
a
mark
that
is
already
being
used
in
commerce)
or
on
an
intent
to
use
basis
(for
a
mark
that
one
intends
to
use
in
the
future).
Filing
a
trademark
or
service
mark
application
on
an
intent
to
use
basis
is
a
good
way
to
protect
a
mark
before
you
begin
using
it
in
commerce.
The
mark
will
have
to
be
used
in
commerce
before
a
registration
will
be
issued,
but
in
the
meantime
a
pending
intent
to
use
application
generally
provides
priority
over
any
later
filed
application
or
any
subsequent
use
in
commerce
by
a
different
party
Contact our Intellectual Property Attorney Today
Prior
to
using
or
applying
to
register
a
trademark,
service
mark
or
patent,
it
is
advisable
to
have
an
attorney
conduct
a
trademark
availability
search
to
determine
if
the
same
or
any
confusingly
similar
mark
is
already
in
use
or
on
file
as
a
pending
application.
