Frequently asked questions.
Do I need a patent or a trademark?
A patent protects inventions and how things work; a trademark protects brand identifiers like names and logos. Many businesses need both. We'll assess your situation and recommend the right mix.
How long does trademark registration take?
Typically 8–14 months with the USPTO, depending on office actions and oppositions. We manage the full process and respond to any issues that arise.
What can be patented?
New, useful, and non-obvious inventions — including processes, machines, compositions, and improvements. We conduct searches to assess patentability before you invest.
How much does a patent cost?
Costs vary with complexity and type. We provide transparent estimates up front and structure the work to fit your budget and strategy.
What should I do if someone copies my work?
Document the infringement and contact us promptly. Options range from cease-and-desist letters to negotiation or litigation, depending on your goals
Can I protect my intellectual property internationally?
Yes. Through mechanisms like the PCT and Madrid Protocol, we coordinate protection across foreign jurisdictions with trusted global counsel
How long does copyright protection last?
Generally the life of the author plus 70 years. Terms differ for works made for hire and older works — we'll clarify what applies to yours.
