Copyrights

A copyright is an exclusive right given to the originator or an assignee to print, publish, perform, film, or record literal, artistic, or musical material and to authorize others to do the same. A copyright protects material on a tangible, permanent medium. Anything that you write on a piece of paper is copyrighted. Legally, you don’t need to register your copyright because protection exists from the moment a work is created in a fixed, tangible medium or form of expression. However, registration with the Copyright Office provides for treble damages in cases of infringement of the copyrighted material.

Trade Secrets

Lemler IP understands how important a trade secret is to the person in possession of one. A trade secret is a very interesting type of intellectual property. A trade secret is something that gives you an economic advantage over competitors that is not generally known or reasonably ascertainable. Some trade secrets may include formulas, practices, processes, designs, instruments, patterns, or any commercial method to produce a certain way of creating something.
