Intellectual Property Agreements
Safeguard Your Business: Intellectual Property Agreements in Boise, Idaho
Intellectual property – your ideas, inventions, and creativity – is a vital, yet vulnerable, asset in today’s business world. Intellectual property (IP) protection agreements protect your work from infringement and misuse which is otherwise at higher risk than tangible assets. At McFarland Ritter, our intellectual property attorneys help you safeguard your ideas with strong legal agreements, skilled negotiations, and assertive action against those who threaten your hard-earned rights.
IP Services and Agreements for Business Scenarios:
As a business owner your unique ideas, processes, and inventions are what help you deliver products and services in a way no one else can. IP Attorneys recognize that this intellectual property is susceptible to misappropriation by malicious parties or unwitting individuals who can ultimately steal your competitive edge.
Examples:
● Trademark infringement: A trademark used without permission, that is likely to confuse consumers about the true source of the goods or services, is trademark infringement.
● Copyright infringement: the use of another person’s creative work or creative expression is an infringement of a copyright.
● Patent: A manufacturer may undercut your profits by copying your patented invention or design.
We want to protect your work and prevent this type of theft in your business. We help you establish and protect trademarks, copyrights, and patents which in turn protect your business and give you a legal basis to pursue compensation when these boundaries are crossed.
