Specializing in Patent Law and
Intellectual Property Protection
"I have not failed. I've just found 10,000 ways that won't work."
- Thomas Alva Edison
Intellectual property protection generally includes patents, trademarks and
copyrights, and prevents an intellectual owner's competitors from copying an idea.
Ideas or property requiring a large amount of initial investment and ingenuity, but
that may be repeated by another for a fraction of the original cost, are in most need
of protection. By protecting your idea, research and development can be
conducted with the peace of mind of knowing that your competitors will not be
handed a free ride.
The patent system encourages innovation and research by giving the trail blazers
a window of time in which they can exclude others from making, using, offering for
sale, selling or importing their invention. With a patent in hand, an inventor no
longer fears sharing ideas, and society as a whole benefits as other inventors run
with the newly released knowledge, continuing to move the state of the art forward.
However, given the complex nature of patent laws and patent interpretation,
obtaining the strongest patent is not an easy task. The goal of the Temmerman
Law Office is to help you learn what protection is available for your intellectual
property, and then to provide that protection where necessary. Additionally, the
intellectual property rights of others can be investigated and evaluated to further
ensure your peace of mind.
A free initial consultation is available to determine whether a patent or trademark
is right for you.
