It's Your Property, Protect It

Your Rights 

Protecting your invention, brand, or creative work is often essential to a business's or inventor's success.  At Gibney Law, we are totally dedicated to helping you protect your intellectual property and the financial value that it represents.  

Generally speaking, intellectual property rights enable the person who produces an idea to protect that idea from encroachment or use by others. This protection, of course, enables and encourages the development of new ideas.

The protection that is available will depend on the exact intellectual property involved. At the Law Office of L. Jack Gibney, we focus on the following areas of Intellectual Property Law:

Patents | Trademarks | Copyrights | Trade Secrets | Domain Name Disputes | Trademark Oppositions & Cancellations

Each of these areas is controlled by different statutes, some federal and some state. Additionally, the courts have construed various portions of the statutes in an effort to produce uniformity and consistency so a working knowledge of this case law is important. 

We believe a long-term approach should always be considered when deciding issues of intellectual property. An improperly or partially perfected intellectual property right could prove useless. This would jeopardize the work that was necessary to produce a particular idea and ultimately lead to little or no protection for the inventor, creator, or author.

In order to achieve the maximum protection for your intellectual property, specific recommendations concerning issues of intellectual property should be made by a registered patent attorney. The recommendations should be based on the objective of a business goal or plan, and the achievement and implementation of it.

At Gibney Law, we are experienced in intellectual property law and are prepared to assist our clients in navigating the complex rules and procedures of the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).
