Services
To obtain patent rights for your innovation, you need to start off with submission of a patent application of the appropriate kind to suit your needs.
In general, there are two types of patent applications: provisional patent applications and non-provisional patent applications.
The former are effective to establish an invention priority date if drafted property, but only a one year life.
The latter comes in different forms and the patent term is either the balance of 20 years remaining from its filing date after it have been granted (for utility patents and for plant patents) or 15 years after its grant date (for design patents).

A mark is indicative of the goodwill of a business and may encompass different kinds, such as logos or words.
The mere use of a mark in commerce gives rise to protection under common law to the extent of market penetration of the mark.
However, enforcing common law rights against an infringer can be challenging because of the heavy burdens of proof that would be required in a court of law.
Thus, registering the mark may help lessen that burden.
Hess Patent Law Firm can help you in selecting which forms of mark protection to pursue and at which levels.

Since intellectual property rights are a kind of "property right", they can be bought or sold through an assignment or "rented" through a license (exclusive or non-exclusive).
It is possible to license the trade secrets, technical know-how and common law rights to another while the other forms of intellectual property you possess await registration.
Assignments transfer intellectual property rights from the owner of the rights (the assignor) to another who wants to own them (the assignee).
The assignee could be an individual, multiple individuals, a legal entity (such as a corporation, limited liability company, partnership, etc.) or a combination of legal entity and individual(s).
