Need to protect your brand?
Securing federal trademark protection for your company name and logos is the most effective way to develop and safeguard your brand. A unique identifier for your goods and services not only encourages customer loyalty but also prevents others from diluting your brand or capitalizing on your reputation. Protecting your brand is essential for long-term success. Contact us today to get started on securing your trademark protection with our trademark attorneys!
Have the next great idea?
Coming up with innovative ideas and inventions has led to financial success for centuries, but protecting those ideas from theft and imitation is what truly creates lasting wealth.
Developing the “Next Big Thing” requires careful protection. The best way to safeguard your ideas is through federal patent protection, which prevents others from making, using, or selling your invention. If patent protection isn’t feasible, keeping your proprietary information as a trade secret is the next best option. Protect your creativity and ensure your legacy! Schedule a meeting with our experienced patent attorneys today to discuss how we can help secure your invention!
Need to establish or legitimize your business?
The foundation of a strong business lies in proper entity formation, selection and the use of solid contracts. Well-crafted agreements protect your business by clearly defining expectations—such as payment terms and procedures for resolving issues. Establishing your business with robust contracts not only safeguards your interests but also enhances your credibility, making you more attractive to potential clients and partners who value reputation and trustworthiness. Contact our business attorneys to ensure your business is built on a solid foundation!
What does a business and intellectual property attorney do?
A business and intellectual property (IP) attorney helps entrepreneurs and companies build, protect, and grow their businesses. This includes forming legal entities, drafting and reviewing contracts, and protecting valuable assets such as trademarks, copyrights, and patents.
A business and IP attorney also helps clients develop long-term protection strategies to ensure their intellectual property becomes a valuable business asset. The goal is not only to resolve legal issues when they arise, but to proactively structure your business in a way that minimizes risk and maximizes long-term value.*

What is the difference between a trademark, a copyright, and a patent?
-
Trademark: Protects brand identifiers, such as names, logos, slogans, or symbols, that distinguish your goods or services from others in the marketplace.
-
Copyright: Protects original works of authorship, including literary works, music, software code, artwork, and other works.
-
Patent: Protects new and useful inventions, processes, machines, or designs. Patents grant exclusive rights to prevent others from making, using, or selling the invention for a limited period.
In short: trademarks protect brands, copyrights protect creative works, and patents protect inventions.*

Do I need to register my trademark or copyright to have protection?
Some protections may arise automatically. Copyright protection typically begins upon creation of an original work, and limited trademark rights may arise from use.
However, federal registration usually provides stronger legal rights and enforcement options.*

When should I form an LLC?
You may consider forming a legal entity before launching your business, signing contracts, hiring employees, or generating revenue. Forming an LLC may help protect your personal assets from business liabilities and provide a more professional structure for operations.
Early formation may help prevent personal exposure and reduce the need to restructure later.*

What type of business entity is best for my company?
The right entity for you and your situation may depend on your goals, ownership structure, tax considerations, and long-term plans. Common options include LLCs, corporations (S-corp or C-corp), and partnerships.
Each structure has different implications for liability protection, taxation, investor funding, and operational flexibility. An attorney can evaluate your specific situation and recommend the most strategic option.*

Do I need contracts for my business?
Clear, well-drafted contracts are essential for protecting your business relationships and preventing disputes. This includes operating agreements, partnership agreements, independent contractor agreements, client service agreements, and non-disclosure agreements.
Strong contracts may clarify expectations, define responsibilities, and provide enforcement mechanisms if issues arise.*

How long does the trademark, copyright, or patent process take?
-
Trademark applications typically take 8–12 months or longer. Timelines can vary depending on whether the trademark is already in use, the USPTO’s review process, and any potential Office Actions that may need a response.
-
Copyright registrations usually take several months to process, depending on the complexity of the work and the U.S. Copyright Office workload.
-
Patent applications can take several years due to the technical examination process and the number of applications filed before yours.
Proper preparation at the beginning, including accurate filings, thorough searches, and clear documentation, may help minimize delays and reduce the risk of refusals.*

What happens if someone copies my brand or breaches a contract?
If someone infringes your intellectual property or violates a contract, you may have legal options including cease-and-desist letters, negotiated settlements, formal disputes, or litigation.
Taking early action is important to protect your rights and preserve your business leverage.*

When should I consult with a business and intellectual property attorney?
You should consult with a business and intellectual property attorney before making major decisions that affect your company’s structure, assets, or growth.
This includes:
- Forming an LLC
- Bringing on partners or investors
- Signing significant contracts
- Launching a new brand, product, or service
- Filing a trademark or patent application
- Expanding into new markets
- Addressing potential infringement or disputes.
Seeking legal guidance early helps you avoid costly mistakes, reduce liability, and build a solid legal foundation for long-term success. Proactive planning is almost always more efficient, and more affordable, than fixing problems after they arise.*

From Our Customers
Madan Law PLLC is an amazing firm to work with! Their expertise and timeliness has been nothing short of AMAZING. HUGE THANK YOU TO THIS TEAM for their execution on getting my logo trademarked.
I am an entrepreneur with a couple of businesses which is what brought me to Madan Law. In my industries, there are a lot of “contracts” available online, but I immediately found that they did not fit my needs, nor would they offer the protection I actually sought. Leela and her team were quick to pinpoint my needs and help me draft custom contracts for my video production business. Additionally, they helped me begin the trademark process for my podcast ANNND provided me with a custom podcast guest release. This has all provided a great deal of legitimacy to my work and gives me a great deal of peace of mind as I continue to scale up. If you are a business owner, entrepreneur, OR want to be – I highly recommend Madan Law.
