Intellectual Property is the intangible asset associated with a person or a company's goodwill or ideas. Goodwill can be defined as the mental propensity for a customer to revisit or maintain a long term relationship all due to that entity's reputation. Ideas are comprised of an entity's techniques, discoveries, product names, methods, and knowledge base. The intellectual property law gives a person or a company a form of monopoly on the use of these intangible assets. These intangible assets are commonly referred to as patents, trade marks, trade dress, copyrights, and trade secrets.(by Wu & Cheung,LLP)
We can provide the applicable protections for patents, trade marks, designs, copyrights, and trade secrets.
