Trademark, Copyright, & Trade Secret Protection

Trademark and copyright registration can be a difficult and confusing process, especially if you try to get through it without help. Protecting an important trade secret can also be a challenge. Mod Law Firm provides its clients with both the legal guidance and the support needed to make it through the registration or protection process successfully.

Trademarks are distinctive words, images, phrases, symbols, or designs that identify a brand and distinguish the source of one company’s goods or services from someone else’s goods or  services. Think: brand names, slogans, and logos.

When Mod Law’s clients want to register a trademark, Mod Law makes sure to explain the benefits of doing so, and can help clients determine if registration is the right choice for them. If a client chooses to proceed with registration, Mod Law will take care of the application process, making sure the client is involved and informed every step of the way.

Copyright protects original creative works such as literature, drama, music, and the visual arts. As with trademarks, there are advantages to registering important copyrights with the federal government. Having an experienced attorney help you register your copyright will increase your chances of success and will likely also speed up the process.  

Mod Law regularly helps clients navigate the copyright registration process. Mod Law explains in plain language the implications of registering a copyright and the protection registration can offer. After the copyright is registered, Mod Law makes sure clients know what their rights and options are if someone infringes on their creative works. 

Trade secrets are pieces of confidential business information that are not generally known and provide a company with a competitive edge. Unlike trademarks and copyrights, you cannot register a trade secret. Instead, to protect your trade secrets you must take affirmative steps to do so, and Mod Law can help you understand what those steps are and how to implement them in your business.
