Irvine Copyrights & Trademarks Attorneys

Irvine Copyright & Trademark Lawyer

Establishing a copyright is automatic. A trademark is unique to your specific business. If you have created an original work through writing, music, drawings, pictures, or some other means, you have a copyright on that material while your business logo, likeness or slogan may be trademarked. If someone else infringes on your copyright or trademark, you need to talk to an experienced Irvine copyright & trademark lawyer at the Michael Ahmadshahi, PhD, Law Offices. We have been serving Orange County, California for over 20 years.

Attorney Michael M. Ahmadshahi becomes involved in copyright issues when another party copies a client’s work.

• Copyrights cover all types of creative work including written materials, literary works, music scores and lyrics, drawings, paintings, photographs, architectural drawings, and others.

Trademark Registration & Protection

Your trademark or service mark is unique to your business – or it should be. If you have a properly registered trademark or service mark, you will have the protection you need to prevent others from infringing on your trademark. Talk to an trademark attorney at Michael Ahmadshahi, PhD, Law Offices in Irvine, CA about protecting your intellectual property. Our highly experienced lawyers serve clients to help protect their trademarks and copyrights throughout Orange County and Los Angeles.

• A trademark is a word, name, symbol, or device (or any combination of these) used to distinguish your products from any others. By registering your trademark (TM), you will have the ability to protect it from others using it.
• A service mark has the same characteristics as a trademark, but it is used to distinguish your services from those of other businesses. Service mark (SM) registration is essential for protecting the mark as your intellectual property.
• When you want to register a trademark, our law offices will perform a search to see if your mark can be registered.
• If the USPTO (U.S. Patent and Trademark Office) denies your TM or SM application, our law offices can prosecute your application and argue for your rights to the marks.
• If someone else uses your TM or SM (or one similar enough to cause confusion), we can help you enforce your rights through IP litigation.

Copyright & Trademark Infringement

If you are a trademark or copyright holder, you have the right to protect your self from infringement. Infringement is the use of works protected by copyright or trademark law without permission, infringing certain exclusive rights granted to the trademark or copyright holder, such as the right to reproduce, distribute, display or perform the protected work, or to make derivative works.
