Intellectual Property in Texas

The protection of intellectual property can be as complex as your business. Intellectual property is usually defined as creations of the mind: inventions, artistic works, literary works and symbols, names, images, and designs used in commerce.

Intellectual property is divided into two categories: Industrial property, which includes inventions (patents), trademarks, industrial designs, and geographic indications of source; and Copyright, which includes literary and artistic works such as novels, films, musical works, drawings, paintings, photographs, sculptures, and architectural designs.

Lippincott Phelan Veidt does not protect or litigate cases related to patents, and suggests that you seek an attorney familiar with patent cases (preferably a patent lawyer). However, we do register and help protect interests in trademarks and copyrights.

If you have a legal issue related to Business Formation or selection of an entity, please contact Marc Lippincott for an appointment to discuss.
