Intellectual Property
The most valuable asset of a modern business is often its intellectual property. Increasingly, business owners are recognizing that focusing too intently on fostering growth and innovation while neglecting the protection of their existing inventions and trade secrets can imperil the core of a company's identity and success.
The experienced Intellectual Property group at Murphy, Pearson, Bradley & Feeney P.C. counsels a diverse range of clients. For example, among our clients are family-owned businesses, artists, multi-national companies and entrepreneurial high-tech ventures. When their rights are threatened, we defend those rights in federal and state courts, before the Patent and Trademark Office, and through alternative dispute resolution forums.
We counsel our clients to efficiently protect and manage their intellectual property assets. Our services include the procurement of state and federal trademark and copyright registrations, as well as the establishment of internal risk management policies designed to protect trade secrets and confidential information from predatory competitors and disgruntled employees. Our team includes seasoned litigators who routinely address complex intellectual property issues. We also handle all of our clients' contractual intellectual property needs, including the negotiation and drafting of licensing, non-disclosure, joint venture and consulting agreements, and, intellectual property asset sales and acquisitions.
