Identify and catalog your IP (trademarks, copyrights, patents, trade secrets, designs), register what should be registered, ensure employees and contractors sign IP assignment agreements, use NDAs for sensitive disclosures, mark works appropriately (© and ™/®), monitor for infringement, and enforce when needed.

A structured review of all IP assets your company owns or uses — registrations, applications, contracts, internal materials, third-party licenses, open-source dependencies. Identifies gaps (unassigned IP, expired registrations) and risks (infringement exposure, license breaches). Common before fundraising, M&A, or major product launches.

Prioritize by value. Core brand trademarks: yes, file as early as possible (priority of use matters). Software code: copyright registration if you plan to enforce against piracy. Patents: yes if the invention is critical and patentable. Less important IP can wait, but document creation dates.

Protection for valuable confidential information not generally known — formulas, processes, customer lists, algorithms. Requires reasonable security measures: NDAs, access controls, employee training, marking, exit interviews. Trade secrets can last indefinitely but are lost if disclosed publicly.

Cease-and-desist letters (often resolve issues without litigation), USPTO opposition/cancellation, DMCA takedowns, Amazon Brand Registry takedowns, social platform takedowns, customs recordation (CBP), arbitration, and federal court litigation. We assess and execute the right enforcement strategy.
