Intellectual Property

At FitzGerald Kreditor Bolduc Risbrough LLP, our attorneys know how important intellectual property rights are to your business. That is why our attorneys regularly counsel clients on not only the selection and clearance of brands, trademarks, service marks, designs, and logos but also how to protect, maintain, and monetize those intellectual property assets.

One of the ways we help clients protect their intellectual property assets is by designing programs to protect trade secrets and confidential information for their businesses, including the preparation of appropriate confidentiality, non-disclosure, and non-use agreements. We also advise clients on obtaining copyright protection for websites, computer software, and literary works; secure rights in works created by third-party consultants and artists; define ownership rights for copyrighted works, including works for hire; and explain open source and Creative Commons licenses.

As your business evolves, so does the ambition to harness the full potential of your intellectual property assets. Our adept attorneys are well-versed in the art of negotiating and drafting agreements for the licensing and sale of brands, logos, trademarks, service marks, trade names, and trade dress. These agreements aren't just transactions; they're blueprints for unlocking the value within your business. Our experienced transactional attorneys are seasoned in navigating the complex terrain of asset and stock purchases, spin-offs, joint ventures, and other intricate business deals by understanding the interaction of business objectives, practical pressures, and how intellectual property issues fit into the overall structure of a deal.

Through our extensive corporate experience, we've encountered a diverse spectrum of deals. This vantage point equips us to guide you deftly, ensuring you sidestep potential pitfalls and capitalize on opportunities. Proper due diligence forms the backbone of our approach, guarding you against missteps in purchasing or selling intellectual property. We specialize in empowering you to leverage these assets to their fullest potential, ensuring that the intellectual capital you've diligently developed becomes a catalyst for your business's future prosperity.
