Copyright Clearance
KJK’s intellectual property attorneys will review the images used in your advertising materials, blog posts, company literature and more to ensure that you do not unknowingly infringe a copyright and potentially owe the rightsholder up to $150,000.
Innovative Program:
KJK IP Management
Intellectual Property is both an asset and a tool for building value in your company. We can help you assess, cultivate, and protect the potential of your core technology, brand, and product & service offerings through patent, trademark, copyright, and trade secret protection: identifying creative and cost-effective strategies that are compatible with your business objectives.
TRADEMARK SEARCH & FILING
Not every mark is registrable with the USPTO or legally protectable. Having an experienced attorney help clear and file your mark can save you tens of thousands of dollars in brand development and prevent costly responses to cease and desist letters.
COPYRIGHT CLEARANCE & FILING
The most important benefit of copyright registration is that if someone does steal your valuable intellectual property, our attorneys can not only force a wrongdoer to stop using your materials but also obtain a payment for up to $150,000 per copyrighted work.
