Patent Law

RegitzMauck assists companies in obtaining patents that can provide exclusive and valuable rights to use and profit from their inventions for a specified period of time.

Patent law is an area of intellectual property law that grants inventors exclusive rights to novel, useful, and non-obvious innovations. This legal framework allows inventors (or their employers) to profit from their creations while disclosing the details of their inventions to the public. Once granted, patents allow patent owners to prevent others from making, using, selling, offering for sale, or importing their inventions into the United States without authorization.

Copyright Law

Copyright law protects creative works of authorship such as literature, music, art, and software. It grants the creators of these works exclusive rights to reproduce, distribute, and display their creations for a specified period of time.

To secure a copyright, no formal registration is required; a copyright comes into being as soon as the work is fixed in a tangible medium of expression. However, RegitzMauck encourages and assists its clients in securing federal copyright registration where appropriate as registration carries significant benefits when clients seek to enforce their copyrights against infringers.

Trademark Law

Trademark law focuses on safeguarding brand identities by preventing consumer confusion. It provides legal protection for brand names, logos, symbols, and slogans, ensuring they are exclusively associated with a particular source of a product or service when the relative consuming segment of the population recognizes the trademark as serving as a source-identifier.

Although federal registration is not necessarily required for trademark rights to arise and be enforceable, RegitzMauck encourages and assists its clients in securing trademark registration when appropriate as the benefits of federal registration can be significant. Trademarks owners can take legal action against competitors that attempt to use confusingly similar marks in commerce and federal trademark registration can assist in such enforcement efforts.

Trade Secret Law

RegitzMauck counsels businesses in implementing best practices to protect confidential and proprietary information, such as trade secrets, by establishing internal protocols and pursuing legal action when misappropriation occurs.

Unlike other IP rights, trade secrets are never publicly registered; instead, they are protected through reasonable efforts to maintain secrecy. Trade secrets must possess independent economic value and can include proprietary formulas, manufacturing processes, customer lists, and business strategies as long as they are keep secret. RegitzMauck has experience in enforcing and defending against claims of trade secret misappropriation.
