We help clients register, maintain, and enforce their trademarks, ensuring that their business identity remains uniquely theirs.

Patents
Innovation is at the heart of many businesses, and patents are essential to protecting inventions and technological advancements. Our dedicated team is here to help you navigate the patent application process, defend against patent infringement claims, and manage your patent portfolio.
Trade Secrets
Trade secrets encompass any confidential business information that provides a competitive advantage, such as formulas, processes, or customer lists. Protecting trade secrets is vital to preserving your business’s market position. Our firm helps businesses implement effective trade secret protection strategies, and we provide legal support in cases of misappropriation or theft of proprietary information.
Rights of Publicity
The right of publicity protects individuals from the unauthorized commercial use of their name, image, or likeness, ensuring that they retain control over how their identity is used in marketing and advertising. This protection is especially crucial for celebrities, influencers, and public figures, whose personal brand and reputation are valuable assets.
We work with clients to enforce their rights of publicity, helping them navigate complex legal disputes and prevent the unauthorized exploitation of their persona for commercial purposes. By asserting these rights, clients can safeguard both their image and their income from misuse.
Talent Agency Act Claims
In California, the Talent Agency Act regulates the business of procuring employment for artists, including actors, musicians, and other creative professionals. Our experienced legal team represents clients in claims arising under the Talent Agency Act, ensuring that their rights are protected and that they receive proper representation in their professional endeavors.
