Protecting Your Intellectual Property

Patents

A patent is a legal right granted by the government that allows you, and only you, to make, use, or sell your invention for a certain period of time. This means that your idea cannot be commercially used, copied, or sold by others without your consent.

The team at Lerner Greenberg Stemer, has decades of experience in guiding inventors through the patent process. We know that navigating patent laws can be complex, but our expert team is dedicated to making the process as straightforward and understandable as possible.

Trademarks

A trademark is a symbol, word, or phrase that identifies and distinguishes your products or services from those of others. It’s what makes your brand recognizable—like the distinctive logo on a coffee cup, a catchy slogan, or a unique product design. Trademarks are not just about logos; they encapsulate the essence of your brand’s reputation and goodwill in the marketplace.

Here at Lerner Greenberg Stemer, we are your trusted partner in safeguarding your brand identity. If you’re launching a new business, developing a product, or just looking to protect your brand’s unique elements, understanding the power of trademarks is essential to protecting your interests.

Copyright

A Copyright is a form of protection provided by the laws of the United States to the authors of “original works of authorship.” This includes a wide variety of creative expressions like books, music, paintings, photographs, and films—anything that can be fixed in a physical form. Essentially, it gives you, the creator, exclusive rights to use, reproduce, distribute, perform, display, or license your work.

Here at Lerner Greenberg Stemer, we ensure that your creative works are securely protected under the law. If you’re an artist, writer, musician, or any creator producing original work, understanding the importance of copyright is crucial to safeguarding your creations.

Intellectual Property Litigation

Intellectual property litigation involves legal disputes over the rights to inventions, designs, creative works, and business identifiers. This can include anything from patent infringement in a tech gadget, the unauthorized use of a trademarked logo, to the reproduction of a copyrighted piece of art without consent. These legal battles are crucial for protecting your assets and ensuring your ideas remain rightfully yours.

Welcome to Lerner Greenberg Stemer, where your intellectual property rights are defended with expert legal prowess. If you find that your creative works or business innovations are being used without your permission, or if you’re facing allegations of infringement yourself, navigating the complexities of intellectual property litigation can be daunting. That’s where we come in.
