    What we do.

    Patents

    A PATENT FOR AN INVENTION (SOMETHING USEFUL, UNIQUE AND NON-OBVIOUS) IS THE GRANT OF A PROPERTY RIGHT TO THE INVENTOR, ISSUED BY A GOVERNMENT OR AN AUTHORIZED MULTI-NATIONAL AGENCY.

    Trademarks

    A TRADEMARK IS A WORD, NAME, SYMBOL, OR PERCEIVABLE INDICIA, WHICH IS USED TO INDICATE THE ORIGIN OF A PRODUCT AND TO DISTINGUISH THAT PRODUCT FROM OTHERS. SIMILARLY, A SERVICE MARK IDENTIFIES AND DISTINGUISHES A SERVICE RATHER THAN A PRODUCT. IN SOME CASES, A COLOR, SMELL, OR SOUND CAN BE TRADEMARKED.

    Copyrights

    COPYRIGHTS PROTECT AUTHORS OF “ORIGINAL WORKS” WHETHER THEY ARE PUBLISHED OR UNPUBLISHED. THE 1976 COPYRIGHT ACT GENERALLY GIVES THE COPYRIGHT OWNERS THE EXCLUSIVE RIGHT TO:
    – Reproduce
    – Prepare derivative works
    – Make and distribute copies
    – Perform or display the copyrighted work publicly.
