Given the technological advances that shape every industry and the rapidly evolving intellectual property landscape, it is crucial for innovators to protect their ideas and inventions by securing patents, trademarks and copyrights. Although the America Invents Act, and more recently, the Defend Trade Secrets Act, were designed to enhance the protection of intellectual property rights in the United States, technology continues to outpace the law. The intellectual property law group at Dunlap Bennett & Ludwig is poised to help our clients meet the challenges of the 21st Century.
Whether you are looking to introduce new products into the marketplace, establish a brand identity, or build a portfolio of patents or trademarks, it is crucial to mitigate the risk of infringement.
