Intellectual Property

What is Intellectual Property?

Intellectual property (IP) is a property created by the human intellect. Unlike other tangible properties, such as real estate, it is an intangible or non-physical asset. Still, it provides legal rights to the owner, like real estate properties. In the current knowledge-based economy, intellectual property is valuable and expensive to create; thus, it is essential to protect it. Therefore, we assist our clients in protecting their intellectual property from use by others without our client’s consent.
 
We offer the best quality, reliable, prompt, intellectual property-related services at competitive costs to fit your budget needs. To avoid shocking back-end charges, we offer upfront customizable flat, fair fees relative to your innovation’s complexity, translating into the skill, time, and effort required to assemble the application. This model will assist you in planning your patent finances and allocating appropriate resources for your intellectual property. We also offer patent strategies to enhance your patent portfolio while remaining within your resources.
 
We provide below several resources that you may use to educate yourself regarding various intellectual property topics.
