You invest a great deal of time, effort, and money to develop innovative technologies. You invest even more to manufacture, distribute, and market the products and services that embody these technologies. Schacht Law Office is here to protect these innovations.
Schacht Law Office helps your clients identify, secure, and maintain their intellectual property rights. Intellectual property—patents, trademarks, copyrights, and trade secrets—allow its owner to control the commercialization of inventions, goodwill, works of authorship, and other commercial work product. By protecting these rights and taking steps to avoid infringing the rights of others, you can invest in new products with confidence that these investments will pay off in the form of increased profits and market share. Without intellectual property protection, your competitors can simply adopt the technologies or features that give your products a competitive advantage. Providing competitors with free search and development services is clearly not a recipe for success. Schacht Law Office helps you to protect the value of your business by preventing others from marketing products or services that make use of your investment in intellectual property.
