Intellectual Property Law

Protecting your intellectual property rights is fundamental, and doing it correctly and efficiently is essential. Gateway Law Corporation advises clients on the best overall strategy to protect their intellectual property rights.

While most property rights protect physical things, intellectual property rights protect the intangibles: assets that are recognizable but not easily quantifiable. Legal intangibles (such as trade secrets, copyrights, patents, and trademarks) and competitive intangibles (such as knowledge activities, collaboration activities, leverage activities, and structural activities) generate property rights defensible in a court of law.

Gateway Law Corporation will work with you to ensure that, as the holder of one of these intellectual property rights, (i) your intellectual property is secured and protected and (ii) you retain and benefit from certain exclusive rights to your creative work, commercial symbol, or invention.
