Generally, the rights of intellectual property owners are based on federal patent law, trademark law, copyright laws, and state trade secret laws. As an overview, patents protect tangible inventions (for example, a widget); copyrights protect various forms of written and artistic expression (books or architectural designs); and trademarks protect a name or symbol that identifies the source of goods or services (brand name or logo).
At Keilen Law, we can help you secure your rights in copyrightable material, a trademark, or we can help you license your patent. Business lawyers use contracts to help you maximize and protect your ideas. In addition, there are specific terms that are required for intellectual property assignments; therefore, clients should always meet with their business lawyer to carefully protect and or assign intellectual property.

We really enjoyed working with Ray and Tyler. It was a challenging time in our lives, very emotional, and he helped us through every step of the process with compassion and gentle direction. We felt like he clearly laid out our options and gave us space to choose what we thought was best, and gave his opinions when asked. We were nervous when hiring an attorney for this process that they would be pushing their own agenda and that was not the case at all. It was great to have someone in our corner that has so much experience and expertise in this area. We are happy that the final result will benefit our child throughout her lifetime.
