Intellectual Property
As longstanding leaders and advocates throughout New York State’s start-up and entrepreneurial business community, Colligan Law’s associates understand that your “big ideas” and related innovations are what allow you to stand apart. Protecting intellectual property (IP) is crucial for innovators, technology companies and other high-growth ventures. Therefore, we handle every aspect of IP protection, including due diligence, prosecuting patent infringement, registering trademarks and copyrights, and protecting trade secrets and other assets. Our lawyers identify the right strategies for businesses to build a valuable portfolio of IP and gain any number of competitive advantages in their industries.
Copyrights & Trademarks
Protecting intellectual property extends beyond patents, often requiring the registration of copyrights and trademarks. Our dedicated and experienced attorneys assist clients with searches, registration and prosecution to protect brands’ logos, taglines and other valuable intelligible assets.
Patents
Our clients are inventive entrepreneurs and businesses who thrive on producing fresh ideas and business methods. Ensuring that these innovations have protection can be a critical piece of a company’s success. Colligan Law’s team members stand ready to assist clients through patent evaluation, provisional patents, filings and prosecution.
Technology Licensing
Colligan Law spends a considerable amount of time supporting the growth of technology companies. We develop licensing agreements on behalf of businesses licensing their own technologies, as well as companies seeking to obtain technology licenses from others.
Trade Secrets
When a company is unable to rely on patents, copyrights or trademarks to protect its intellectual property, our team works with the company to understand its valued trade secrets and puts policies and agreements in place to secure those critical assets.
The Team Approach
Rarely do IP components and transactions occur in a vacuum. Thus, Colligan’s experienced team of tax, employment, estate/succession planning and related business tractions attorneys work together to ensure all of your business law needs are being addressed and working to fuel your growth in tandem.
