About Intellectual Property Law

Intellectual property law focuses on protecting legal rights associated with innovation. The field of intellectual property law covers a range of case law, rules and statutes that protect legal rights respecting artistic works, designs, inventions, brands, and other proprietary information. Many people are often familiar with parts of the part of the law that protects personal property, or land rights, but intellectual property can be an asset too, and can be equally valuable. Individuals or businesses frequently have a legal right to control—often exclusively intellectual property assets even though they are sometimes referred to as “intangible”. Intellectual Property is a term that can include patents, trademarks, copyright, and trade secrets. Patents cover inventions, manufactured designs, and plants. Trademarks speak to logos and packaging. Copyrights protects expression of ideas, and can include software, art, music, and creative works.

Protecting Intellectual Property Against Infringement

If you believe that someone is infringing on your intellectual property, we can help. If an individual or business entity is infringing as the intellectual property owner, you have rights and should take steps to stop the infringements. We will often begin the legal process by warning unauthorized users to cease infringing on your rights. In some instances, this may be all that is required. On the other hand, this warning also sets other aspects of the law into motion, particularly if you are entitled to injunctions or damages. In other instances, we may not provide any advance warning, and will simply proceed against infringers in a court, or other administrative setting most likely to yield a good result.

Enforcing Your Intellectual Property Rights

The Buche Law Firm, PC IP attorneys are highly experienced with enforcement of intellectual property rights. We can help you determine if your rights have been infringed, then help you to decide what the proper course of action should be to resolve the problem. The specific course of action will be highly dependent on the type of intellectual property right that needs to be enforced, as well as by the whereabouts, and financial solvency of the infringers. The range of options can include sending cease & desist letters; filing lawsuits; moving for seizures of infringing products; negotiating licenses or coexistence agreements.

We have worked to enforce intellectual property rights for over twenty years, and these have included patent, copyright, trade secret, unfair competition, and contract breach cases. We have filed these cases in state courts, federal courts, as well as in administrative settings across the country.
