McKinney Intellectual Property Lawyer
Dallas Trademarks Attorney
Municipalities and school districts are vibrant communities of creative people who innovate and deserve to protect their ideas. Academic programs, courses of instruction, and sports logos have value. The originator deserves credit and the ability to control who uses such intellectual property and how. A city that creates a method to save water has an idea that they can sell or license, for example. But any means of delivering services that is particularly effective may warrant protection.
Intellectual property law seeks to foster creativity by rewarding it. Copyright law grants exclusive rights to use or distribute original works, not just books. A trademark identifies a product or service that consumers can identify with quality, or a source they know and trust.
You may have the right to stop ongoing infringement even if you have not registered your copyright. Our law firm can advise you on:
- How to encourage innovation,
- How it can be protected in advance,
- How your entity can profit from it, and
- How infringement can be enjoined.
Entities such as cities and schools value their reputations, and the residents, businesses, and students they attract. Protect your intellectual property.
