Texas Intellectual Property Law Firm
Trade secret litigation, copyright protection
Intellectual property generally refers to patents, copyrights, trademarks, service marks, and trade secrets. The value of such assets is often manifested through some aspect of a business's goodwill. Intellectual property law protects the creative works of authors, composers, designers, inventors and entrepreneurs from piracy. Violating the rights of an intellectual property owner is a form of unfair competition and may be remedied through the courts. Such relief may take the form of an award of damages, injunctive relief, or both.
