ABOUT INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY SERVICES

Protect What You’ve Worked Hard to Build

As in-house counsel at IBM, Attorney Matthew Ciannamea handled acquisitions, licensing, and patents, then founded a practice helping inventors license their work. He brings that same precision to protecting your business.

You will not be handed to a paralegal or forgotten in a crowded queue. We take time to understand what you have built and put protections in place that keep your ideas and your edge firmly yours.

Your Time Is Limited

With intellectual property, timing is everything. Filing promptly and enforcing quickly can decide whether an asset stays yours or slips away. Let us talk before someone else claims it.

FAQS

Frequently Asked Questions

Why should I register a trademark?

A registration gives you enforceable rights nationwide and makes stopping copycats far simpler. Without one, defending your brand name becomes a steep, uphill fight.

What is the difference between a trademark and a copyright?

A trademark guards brand markers like names and logos, while a copyright shields creative work such as writing, art, or code. Many need both, and we help you decide.

When should I consult an intellectual property attorney?

Earlier than most people assume, ideally before you launch, license, or share your work. Timely advice heads off costly missteps and secures your rights from day one.
