Your business has certain information--know-how, symbols, logos or other intellectual property--that distinguishes you from your competitors and gives you a competitive advantage.

The attorneys at Tucker Arensberg help individuals and businesses protect their intellectual property rights through patents, trademarks, copyrights, licensing and litigation.

From transferring technology to e-commerce, it's our business to help you institute the proper protection.

• Our clients include both large and small existing companies as well as start-up companies that seek to market new ideas and inventions in a variety of industries, including computers, information technology, health care and internet service.
  
• We perform audits to assess whether new products or ideas violate another's intellectual property or are capable of registration, and we advise where and when to register.
  
• We help businesses protect their trade secrets by drafting and negotiating confidentiality agreements, assignments and joint ventures. In addition, we evaluate whether a business is taking adequate measures to maintain its trade secrets both from a security and a legal standpoint.
  
• We provide assistance and counsel on how to maintain, renew and expand the protection of your intellectual property.
  

• The firm also negotiates and drafts licenses and other agreements to license, transfer or sell intellectual property, while protecting ownership and future use rights as needed.
  
• We help protect companies against unfair competition from former employees. We also draft employment contracts that include appropriate nondisclosure and non-competition provisions.
    
• We help resolve technology disputes through arbitration and infringement suits seeking either monetary damages or injunctive relief, and we help protect you from unfair competition.
  
  

• We help businesses by drafting e-commerce contracts and click-wrap licenses, and by resolving web tag disputes and domain name disputes.

• We assist clients in negotiating and drafting web page development contracts, application service provider agreements and customized software development contracts.
