Intellectual property lawsuits involving patents, trademarks, copyrights, trade secrets, inventions, and other innovations of businesses and inventors have increased in Texas and nationally. The intellectual property attorneys at our firm recognize, and help our clients to protect, the value of their intellectual property including inventions, designs, innovations, strategies, systems, and methods. Some businesses seek to protect themselves through the use of the legal system to initiate patent lawsuits, copyright lawsuits, trademark lawsuits, and trade secret lawsuits. In today’s global marketplace, start-ups and small businesses may find themselves on the wrong end of intellectual property litigation, which others may use as leverage to stifle innovation and competition.
