Practice Areas
At TCIP we have extensive expertise in Patents, Trademarks, Copyright, Trade Secrets, Infringement and Validity Analysis, Licensing, International Practice and IP Related Business Transactions. Check out some of our Practice Areas:
PatentsAt TCIP we see patents as more than just a way to memorialize inventions you have created. Instead we identify the value proposition of the invention and create an effective fence around that proposition to provide a protectable franchise that provides a competitive advantage or valuable licensing opportunities to your company.

TrademarksAt TCIP we recognize that your brands are how you communicate the company identity to the world. Over time the company’s reputation becomes embodied in the brands. We engage early in the branding process to facilitate trademark selection that is protectable and consistent with the risk profiles of our client. We identify the markets and route for expansion to ensure the goodwill developed can expand with your growing business.

LicensingLicensing is an extremely flexible and potentially effective way to monetize non-core assets or enable access to business channels that would otherwise be blocked. We can help you avoid common licensing pitfalls that would negatively affect the value of the license or prevent your business from reaching its full growth potential. We have experience negotiating and drafting both exclusive and non-exclusive licenses between small entities and fortune 500 companies.
|
CopyrightOriginal works of authorship are important assets of many businesses. We work with you to ensure these valuable assets get the attention they deserve.
|
Trade SecretsUnlike most types of intellectual property, trade secrets can be forever. We help you evaluate what can best and reasonably be protected as a trade secret to maximize the value of you intellectual property portfolio.
|
InternationalIf your business is multinational we can evaluate the best and most cost effective jurisdictions to seek protection of your valuable intellectual. Through a network of foreign associates we provide worldwide patent and trademark procurement.
