HELPING CLIENTS SAFEGUARD THEIR INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS
In today’s modern world, IP, or intellectual property, is frequently used without the owner’s permission and is known as intellectual property infringement. However, intellectual property laws can be overly complex and challenging for individuals to navigate without professional legal help.
Arizona has implemented intellectual property laws that protect artwork, photographs, writings, and other original creative works against infringement. Arizona intellectual property laws apply to businesses, individual inventors, and others who create or produce original content.
If you feel that your copyrights, patents, or trade secrets have been infringed upon, you must hire a lawyer with the skills to defend your legal rights.

WHY DO I NEED TO HIRE AN INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY PROTECTION LAWYER?
One of the most valuable resources for business owners is intellectual property. Of course, because of the ease of modern technology, there are many various ways that others can illegally use or try to pass off intellectual property as their own.
For this reason, it is essential that you hire a highly skilled intellectual property attorney who can advise you on how you can protect your work. Our legal team can explain how patent law and trademark registration work and counsel clients on the benefits of IP portfolio management.

WHAT LEGAL METHODS CAN BE USED TO PROTECT MY INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY?
Several legal methods can be utilized to protect intellectual property, including patents, copyrights, and trademarks. However, when filing trademark or patent applications, you must search the appropriate online websites to ensure that similar patents or trademarks do not exist.
PATENTS
The first step in obtaining a patent is to submit an application to the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO), where it will be reviewed. If a patent examiner determines that the design or invention is patentable, the USPTO will issue a patent after you pay all applicable fees.
COPYRIGHTS
While the author of any original work automatically owns the copyright, it is still essential to register the copyrights to gain additional protection. Authors may submit an online application with a copy of their work and a registration fee. If approved, you will receive a certificate of registration or a notice from the copyright office if they have questions or the application is denied.
TRADEMARKS
Trademarks are unique in that they may be registered solely within the state of Arizona with the Secretary of State office or at the federal level with the USPTO. If the trademark is approved, you will pay a small registration fee, and you will receive a certificate of registration fee. However, registering trademarks on a federal level is wise to ensure maximum trademark protection.
If you have questions about patent law, trademark applications, or copyright law, it is best to seek legal advice from experienced IP rights lawyers immediately. Intellectual property law can be confusing, and speaking to an attorney who can answer your questions is always in your best interest.
HOW CAN YOUR LAW FIRM HELP RESOLVE INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY DISPUTES?
If you feel that another business or individual has infringed on your patent, trademark rights, or copyright, the first step is to speak to a highly trained intellectual property attorney. An intellectual property rights attorney can examine the evidence and determine the best legal strategy to deal with the issue.
For example, if the intellectual property in question involves a patent, the AVID Esq. Group, LLC can conduct an infringement analysis to determine if the other party is in violation of patent law.
One of the first actions that our IP rights attorneys can take is to notify the other party and attempt to negotiate an out-of-court resolution. However, if the other party fails to respond or is unwilling to negotiate, it may be necessary to utilize mediation or arbitration to resolve intellectual property matters.
The AVID Esq. Group, LLC represents clients in a wide array of intellectual property disputes and has significant experience with corporate and business law.
