Protecting Your Intellectual Property
Trademarks ◊ Trade Secrets ◊ License Agreements ◊ Copyrights
If you don't protect your intellectual property, then your business either won't have anything unique to sell or may simply lose its competitive edge. If you're a start-up, intellectual property may be the only real asset you have. We help clients:
- File U.S. Trademark Applications
- License Patents
- Guard trade secrets through non-compete and non-circumvention agreements (among other methods)
- Enter and resolve disputes involving license agreements
- Monitor for Patent and Trademark infringement

Trade secrets may well be among your most important assets. They can include anything from customer lists to complex technical analysis. Our intellectual property audits will help you identify, value and secure your confidential information. You won't have to worry about misappropriation by employees, competitors or anyone else.

Our attorneys know business firsthand - because they've founded businesses themselves, grown them, protected them and sold them. We are a business law firm rooted more in the business community than the legal one.
We know what it's like to be in your position, and we know what it's like when you need to hire a lawyer. We also know what it's like to not receive prompt responses to phone calls, or to be "nickeled and dimed" by an attorney who performs a series of unnecessary tasks for the apparent purpose of driving up the bill.
For that reason, our goal from the outset has been to become the sort of law firm business people really want. As you can see from our testimonials, that vision has resonated well with local businesses. And as you can see from the results we've gotten for our clients, we have both legal skill and business acumen.
For a brief telephone consultation to find out if we're the right firm for you, call us at 1.866.601.9440 or contact us online. Our office is located in Portland, Oregon, and we serve clients in Oregon, Washington and California.
