Do property law lawyers handle cases concerning intellectual property?
Intellectual property concerns patents, copyrights, trademarks, trade secrets, and so forth. Basically, the creator has property rights to their creations, whether it is created through artistic thought or for commercial use and whether or not it is registered as a patent, copyright, trademark or trade secret. Intellectual property rights apply to art, literature, music, ideas, inventions, discoveries, and so forth. Property law attorneys may deal with intellectual property; however, there are attorneys that specialize solely in intellectual property. If the creator is employed by a company during the creation who owns the property rights to the product the employee or the employer? This is a question best answered by property law attorneys or intellectual property lawyers. If you wish to claim ownership in intellectual property, paperwork may need to be developed before hand.
