Intellectual Property

Many corporations have intellectual property concerns that require careful consideration. With increasing value placed on technology assets, more companies are looking to ensure that their intellectual property rights are sufficiently protected. At APEX LEGAL we assist clients in formulating strategies to exploit their intellectual property rights and in establishing auditing procedures to safeguard these rights. To this end, we also review and prepare agreements with employees, consultants, and third-party suppliers to ensure that our clients retain all necessary rights to their technology assets.

Specifically, at APEX LEGAL we:

• Offer legal services relating copyrights, trademarks and service marks, including the selection, use, registration, licensing, and transfer of marks and copyrights — as well as trade names and Internet domain names.
• Prosecute applications for registration at the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office and prepare and negotiate licenses and other copyright or trademark agreements.
• Address intellectual property issues in a wide range of merger, acquisition, financing, and other corporate transactions.
• Evaluate the intellectual property assets and potential liabilities of acquisition targets and correct defects in titles.
