Generally speaking, copyrights apply to songs, visual arts, literary works, performing arts and periodicals. Trademarks are symbols, pictures or words that sellers use to show the origin of the products or services. The Law Office of Geralyn F. Noonan can help you protect your intellectual property from infringement or unauthorized use by registering your copyright with the United States Copyright Office or your trademark with the United States Patent and Trademark Office (PTO).
A United States patent protects inventions that are new and unobvious. Such inventions can include products, processes, chemical compositions and ornamental designs. Geralyn Noonan can advise you about licensing your invention and the steps you can take to prevent infringement of your patent. She also works closely with a local registered patent attorney to obtain strong patent protection for your invention.
Many businesses rely on information, processes and methods developed in-house for their success. Revealing certain information could have a negative impact on the success of your operation. Trade secrets including formulas, processes, business practices and pricing are legally protected. We work closely with businesses of all sizes to ensure that they are doing everything they can to preserve their proprietary knowledge and protect their market advantage against unfair competition, including registering patents, copyrights and trademarks, as well as drafting noncompete and nondisclosure agreements.
Individuals who have signed noncompete agreements as a condition of their employment often have questions regarding their obligations once they leave their employer. They want to know what limitations they face in establishing their own businesses, and the extent to which they are bound by the agreement they signed. Don't take chances with the unknown. Make informed choices and contact Attorney Geralyn Noonan to find out what you can, and cannot, do.
