Intellectual Property
Munger • Denker • Ruiz • Barbour has extensive experience in intellectual-property matters, and can bring that experience to bear for you in many ways. In addition to securing trademarks, tradenames, and copyrights, we can review your intellectual-property procedures to ensure that your company is not disclosing trade secrets, and that your employees are not in a position to compete with you if they separate from your company. We also can make sure that your contracts with your suppliers, distributors, and agents are current and binding, and that they keep company information confidential after termination of the relationship.
If you are buying or selling your business or setting up licensing or royalty arrangements with a domestic or foreign representative, we can assist you in drafting licensing, royalty, and other agreements that reflect the nature of the transaction accurately and protect your interests.
In addition, Munger • Denker • Ruiz • Barbour has worldwide contacts, including strategic alliances in Canada, Latin America, Europe, the Middle East, and the Pacific Rim, that we can use to protect your intellectual property internationally.
Our commercial-litigation attorneys also provide representation to clients needing to protect their intellectual property in court.
