What Constitutes Intellectual Property?

Intellectual PropertyBuying a new microwave oven or a wheelbarrow makes you the owner, and anyone who takes something that belongs to you without permission is probably stealing. Your ideas are your property too, and anything that you make with your creative talents belongs solely to you. Intellectual property laws protect you against theft of your original inventions. When someone claims ownership of something that you created with your mind, you have a right to object. The attorneys at Lucé Evans Law specialize in helping you exercise your rights to your intellectual property.

Creating Something from Nothing

When you studied math in school, you may remember that your teacher wanted to see how you arrived at an answer to a problem. Having the correct answer was important, but it was not as important as showing your work. Someone who takes your ideas cannot show how they were developed, and claiming the end result of your work does not give another person the right to own it.

Protecting Your Original Ideas

Creativity is a special talent that helps make you who you are. Not everyone can write a poem or a song, design a logo or a computer game, invent a new tool or develop an innovation to an electrical device. While it may annoy you when someone claims your idea, you have a right to more than an apology. Business law gives you the right to protect the ownership of your innovative designs and concepts. Registering a copyright, a trademark or a patent requires exceptional legal knowledge and skill, and the attorneys at Lucé Evans Law can use legal methods to help you protect your rights.

Knowing When to Seek Legal Representation

Your intellectual invention is protected when you take legal steps as recommended by a McKinney attorney. Establishing your rights to your intellectual property is a complicated matter that your attorney can lead you through, and you need to initiate the procedure as soon as possible. You can talk to an intellectual property lawyer for free at Lucé Evans Law. Call (972) 632-1300 today or contact us online to set an appointment to start protecting your valuable ideas.

    “ just wanted to say thank you so much from the bottom of my heart for all of the work that you did… We were all very pleased with the outcome, especially since we fully expected them to dig their heels in and never pay up. Thank you, thank you, thank you. You don’t know how much this means to me, my husband… We are for-ever in your debt for helping us with a very difficult situation. We are especially grateful for the sweetness you, Sandy, displayed in all of your dealings with them. I really appreciate all of your hard work in coordinating these efforts to get this case resolved. Joe, again, many thanks from me and my family for everything you have done. You’ve made our lives a whole lot nicer.”

    “ REASSURING, ARTICULATE, KNOWLEDGEABLE, EFFECTIVE. When you are in financial distress and physical pain, it is difficult to think clearly and make good decisions. Joe explained the law, outlined in clear language the steps in the process that where needed to be done. He was reassuring, articulate, knowledgeable and effective. Joe, Sandy and Kristin made the process so much easier and gave me peace of mind in a stressful but successful outcome. There was a definite sense of caring, not just that I was a client, but someone that you genuinely cared about and wanted to help. I so appreciated his knowledge, his calming presence, and his polite and respectful attitude. Without hesitation, I would hire this law firm again. Thank you!”
