The need to protect a business name, product brand, logo or other intellectual property against potential disputes often does not occur to entrepreneurs just starting out. Today, the Internet and other major market forces have made intellectual property disputes much more common. The question “Who owns the trademark?” is debated every day in courtrooms around the U.S.

The experienced business attorneys at The Law Offices of Donald W. Hudspeth, P.C., have handled numerous cases involving trademark infringement and other intellectual property disputes. Please contact us to discuss your legal options for enforcing your rights or defending your business.

Trademark Infringement Defense – Counsel on Intellectual Property Disputes

Intellectual property disputes may arise from situations like these:

  • You have been operating your business under a family name or other name you coined years ago, when you receive a letter from another business operator claiming they own the name and you face legal action unless you stop using it.
  • A former employee or business competitor starts a business using your name, logo or other established intellectual property, capitalizing on recognition you have spent years working to build.

In the Internet age, every business, regardless of location, can come to the attention of others both nationally and internationally. Our attorneys will advise you on the value of protecting your intellectual property and navigate all required processes to do so.
