Intellectual Property Attorneys: Protect, Enforce, and Monetize Your IP
These four rights protect different things, arise at different moments, and are lost in different ways. Patents run on a clock you may have already started. Public disclosure begins a one-year window to file, and it applies to a conference talk, a pitch deck, or a product launch. Miss it and the right is gone permanently. Copyright exists on creation but cannot be enforced without registration. You cannot file suit until the Copyright Office acts, which takes months. And statutory damages and attorney's fees require registration before the infringement — without them, you are left proving actual loss. Trademarks arise from use, but federal registration is what makes the right national. A business operating without it may find its own name unavailable in markets it planned to enter. Trade secrets have no registration at all. Protection depends entirely on whether reasonable measures were taken to keep the information confidential — and once it is out, it does not come back.The common thread is timing. Most of what we cannot fix arrived after a deadline had already passed.

Weak drafting in even one provision can generate significant unintended liability. What follows covers the provisions that create the most exposure, how they distribute risk, and what contractual protections both sides can negotiate to limit their downside. Our M&A attorneys review and negotiate these terms for buyers and sellers before the agreement is signed — when protection is still possible.
