PROTECTING YOUR IDEAS AND COMMERCIAL IMAGE
 

Copyrights

Protect Your Rights

Patents, Copyrights, Trademarks and Trade Secrets are all protectable under the law. They are a valuable asset for your business and can help provide your company with credibility to attract venture capitalists and corporate partners.

Valid intellectual property protection is also vital in valuating your
business for franchising, mergers, or sale businesses.

Federal copyright law protects writings and other forms of
expression from unauthorized duplication, modification, and
distribution. Copyright protects only the manner in which
an idea is expressed, and not the idea itself.

A copyright registration remains in effect for
the life of the author plus another 50 years
for works by individuals and for 75 years
for works created by corporations, or works
made for hire.
