Intellectual Property Protection
Before a company can fully enforce its intellectual property, it must know what it has and properly protect it. Many companies, though, have not taken the proper first steps to identify and protect their intellectual property. These companies may need an initial assessment of their intellectual property.
Broad and Cassel, a full-service law firm, can be engaged to provide:
- Preliminary Intellectual Property Assessments
- Intellectual Property In-depth Audit and Analysis
Escalated Enforcement Services
Occasionally, notification of intellectual property and MAP policy infringements is insufficient for some violators.
Under such circumstances, stronger action may be required.
- Cease and Desist Letters from qualified counsel
- Mystery Buying / Controlled Purchases
- Pre-litigation Anti-Cybersquatting Actions
- Government Agency Reporting
Litigation
With few exceptions, most companies want to avoid litigation at all cost. Brand Weasel's proprietary DEFEND process will
prevent many brand abuse cases from even approaching litigation. However, if a case should arise when litigation is
absolutely necessary, Broad and Cassel, a full-service law firm, provides litigation representation to stop fraudsters from:
- Trademark Infringement
- Copyright Infringement Mystery Buying / Controlled Purchases
- Patent Infringement Pre-litigation Anti-Cybersquatting Actions
- Unlawful domain name registration(s)
- Trade Defamation
- Stealing Trade Secrets
