Find an Intellectual Property Lawyer
IP lawyers protect creative and inventive work — patents (utility, design, provisional), trademarks (registration, opposition, enforcement), copyrights, trade secrets, and licensing agreements. For startups, the highest-leverage early IP decisions usually involve who actually owns what (founder IP-assignment agreements, work-for-hire status of contractors), trademark availability searches before you commit to a brand, and not over-disclosing inventions before filing for patent protection.
