Whether you are an entrepreneur, artist, or technology company, we provide the guidance and expertise necessary to protect your intellectual property and navigate the ever-evolving landscape of IP law.

Trademark Law. Trademark law focuses on protecting brands and their associated symbols, names, logos, and slogans. It provides exclusive rights to use and protect trademarks to distinguish goods or services in the marketplace. Trademark law involves trademark clearance searches, registration of trademarks with relevant authorities, enforcement against infringement, and monitoring and protecting trademark portfolios.

Copyright Law. Copyright law protects original works of authorship, such as literary, artistic, musical, and dramatic works, as well as software, architectural designs, and other creative expressions. Copyright gives the creators exclusive rights to reproduce, distribute, display, perform, and modify their works. Copyright law involves registration of copyrights, licensing and assignment agreements, enforcement against infringement, and handling fair use and digital rights management issues.

Trade Secret Law. Trade secret law deals with protecting valuable and confidential business information, such as formulas, manufacturing processes, customer lists, and marketing strategies. Unlike patents or trademarks, trade secrets are not publicly disclosed. Trade secret law involves implementing strategies to maintain the secrecy of information, drafting non-disclosure agreements (NDAs), and handling misappropriation claims.

Licensing and Technology Transfer. Licensing and technology transfer involve the negotiation, drafting, and review of contracts for the use, transfer, or sharing of IP rights. This includes licensing agreements for patents, trademarks, copyrights, and trade secrets, as well as technology transfer agreements for research collaborations, joint ventures, and commercialization of innovations.

Entertainment Law. Entertainment law necessarily involves intellectual property as songs, recordings, films, and other works of art are entitled to copyright protection. 

These are just a few key areas within IP law, and each area involves a complex set of laws, regulations, and practices. The Floyd Law Office is ready to guide and assist in the protection of your intellectual property.
