Intellectual Property Practice

No matter what your business, protecting your intellectual property and/or trade secrets is vital to your success. Wade & Silverstein's intellectual property practice offers integrated advice regarding all aspects of the protection and exploitation of intellectual property and trade secrets. We make our services available to companies of all sizes from the small start-up technology company to multinational conglomerates. We provide counseling on how to set up and maintain a comprehensive program for the protection of trade secrets. We can also assist companies in marking documents with appropriate legends, in preparing and negotiating confidentiality agreements with employees, suppliers and customers, and in setting up physical security measures to protect valuable trade secrets. In addition, we counsel companies on how to avoid infringing the trade secret rights of others when developing new products or hiring employees from competitors.

We can create and implement a strategy designed to capture the value of your inventions, copyrightable works, trademarks, trade secrets and domain names. We can obtain U.S. and foreign trademarks and work with you to in-license or out-license your rights as appropriate. We offer all aspects of internet counseling, including drafting and negotiating all kinds of internet agreements, resolving domestic and international domain name issues, drafting and negotiating technology and other computer hardware and software licenses, structuring and documenting all kinds of internet exchanges and strategic alliances, and providing strategic legal advice on a broad range of e-commerce issues.
