Colorado Law Firm for Copyrights and Trademarks

At Liggett, Smith & Johnson, P.C., we take pride in our ability to help creative artists and businesspeople obtain the maximum legal protection for their efforts. Please contact us today to discuss affordable, effective ways to protect your creative output with a copyright or trademark.

Trademarks Offer Legal Protection for Your Business Image

The expression "image is everything" is true for many businesses, and we can all think of unique names, tag lines or logos we associate immediately with the companies that use them. If you want to prevent competitors from copying such components of your business image, we can help in the quest to trademark your mark, phrase or other distinct brand element.

As an additional service to our many valued business clients whom we also assist in real estate matters, we file trademark applications with the United States Patent and Trademark Office.

Asserting Exclusive Rights to Your Work

Although copyrights and trademarks fall into the legal category of intellectual property, they are distinct from patents. Our firm does not file patent applications, but we are happy to assist clients in all phases of researching and applying for trademarks. In addition, we can advise you on:

• The legal rights you gain when you obtain a trademark or copyright
• The steps you need to take in order to maintain and enforce your trademark or copyright protection

A different process is required to gain legal protection for your poetry, prose, musical compositions, photographs, paintings and other creative work. We are well versed with the steps involved in registering these tangible items under copyright with the Library of Congress — asserting your authorship and exclusive rights to them.

We enjoy working with artists and businesspeople who want to protect their intellectual property and creative efforts. Please contact us today for capable legal help with copyrights and trademarks.
