Intellectual Property Services
While the connected world we live in today provides us with many benefits, the rise of the internet has led to a substantial increase in intellectual property infringement, too.
The theft, violation, or infringement of intellectual property rights can be incredibly destructive to the success of individuals and businesses.
The building of a reputation or brand using intellectual property takes time, money, and ingenuity, so it’s vital you actively protect this property by registering it as a patent, trade secret, copyright, or trade mark.
If you fail to properly register your intellectual property, it can be more difficult taking legal action against offenders. Cue, intellectual property services.
Fortunately, the professional team of qualified trade mark attorneys and in-house counsel at Trademark Eagle has years of invaluable experience helping companies to guard their intellectual property by identifying, registering, and protecting trade marks as soon as possible.
What is intellectual property?
Intellectual property (IP) covers everything from designs and copyrights to patents, trade marks, and trade secrets. IP simply refers to something intangible that has been created or invented through either creativity or human intellect.
This property can be protected by law and includes stories, songs, domain names, symbols, and images.
Why protect your intellectual property?
No one likes having their physical property stolen or used without their permission – and the same sentiment applies to intellectual property.
Not only can protecting your IP add financial value to your company, but it can also prevent other companies from imitating yours, help you avoid a costly rebrand, and build value in the eyes of potential investors and stakeholders that like the security of knowing your company name, products, and services have been trademarked.

Intellectual property services FAQs
Can intellectual property be transferred?
Yes, intellectual property can be transferred through licensing or assignment agreements. A license is a temporary transferral of intellectual property, whereas an assignment is the transfer of trademark rights to a new owner.
Can you buy intellectual property?
Yes, intellectual property can be sold and purchased like any other kind of property. However, these transactions can be more complex due to the intangible nature of the property. Trade marks can be purchased through a written legal agreement (contract) and the updating of the public register to reflect the new owner of the trade mark.
Can you insure intellectual property?
Yes, intellectual property insurance (commonly referred to as IP insurance) is specifically designed to protect your business against claims of IP infringement and help you to enforce your intellectual property rights.
As a result, this type of liability policy can be used to protect you from the considerable legal fees, damages and expenses involved in either enforcing your intellectual property rights or defending your company against claims of intellectual property infringement.

You can increase this protection by registering the name as a trade mark and obtaining trade mark rights in tandem with registering your company name.
