What are common areas that intellectual property issues arise in businesses?
Beginning with the formation of the business, usually the first concern is the name of the company. We work with a lot of business owners to make sure they have a good name for their business that they can protect and does not infringe on someone else’s rights. Other frequent areas include trademarks for use in marketing products, patents on designs and innovations, software development, and licensing deals. In addition, intellectual property issues often arise in mergers and acquisition due diligence.
