What is Intellectual Property?
Intellectual property is a creation of the mind, including inventions, artistic and literary works, symbols, designs, images, and names used by an individual or a business.
Intellectual property is valuable because it needs a lot of brainpower and skilled labor to create. As such, no person or business should access your intellectual property without consent. Some common IPs include copyrights, patents, franchises, trademarks, digital assets, and trade secrets.
what is ip litigation?
IP litigation is the legal action taken by one party when another party infringes on their IP rights. The goal of IP litigation is to defend or promote a business.
THE COMMON TYPE OF IT LITIGATION CASES
The most common IP litigation cases include patent, trademark, and copyright infringement.
- Patent infringement: It involves disputes over the unauthorized use of patented technology or inventions.
- Trademark infringement: These cases arise when there’s an unauthorized use of a trademarked logo, name, or symbol that could cause confusion among consumers about the origin or quality of a product.
- Copyright infringement: Cases protect the rights of authors, musicians, and artists by addressing unauthorized reproduction or distribution of their works.
- Trade secret misappropriation: It concerns the theft or improper disclosure of confidential business information that gives a company a competitive advantage.
- Licensing disputes: These occur when there’s a disagreement over the terms under which intellectual property is licensed, potentially leading to conflicts over royalties, exclusivity, or the scope of the license agreement.
Each type of IP litigation presents its unique challenges and requires a nuanced understanding of both the law and the specific intellectual property at stake.

CLIENT TESTIMONIALS
Being selected for an audit is arguably one of the worst things that could happen to a small business owner, or at least that’s how I felt.
It felt a lot less stressful when I hired Jess to communicate with the IRS on my behalf. Her extensive knowledge of tax law was evident when she would educate not just me but also the RA on the proper law.
She went the extra mile every day – with driving to me, essentially holding my hand through an interview, and making sure all responses to the RA were effective.
If you get audited – I strongly recommend having her by your side.
– Parul G.
As a small business owner, I had an enormous amount of questions. I needed to know how to book keep, claim deductions and credits, navigate selling online, providing services in different jurisdictions, and filing quarterly taxes.
A small business requires an enormous attention to detail and Jessica helped me be meticulous in strategizing my tax landscape and know the necessary laws and regulations.
I highly recommend her to anyone with tax questions.
