Intellectual property (IP) law protects creations of the mind — inventions, brands, creative works, and trade secrets — through patents, trademarks, copyrights, and contracts. It's how individuals and companies own and defend the value of their ideas.
Consult an IP lawyer before launching a brand, disclosing or selling an invention, or signing away rights in a contract — and immediately if someone is copying your work or accusing you of copying theirs.
Trademark and copyright filings are commonly flat-fee plus government fees; patents are more expensive and often billed by stage; disputes and litigation are hourly.
