PRACTICE AREA

California and Oregon Patent and Trademark Attorney

When you need a northern California or southern Oregon intellectual property attorney, contact me at the JERRY HAYNES LAW for a free telephone consultation. I represent individual inventors and businesses from Oregon, California, throughout the US, and internationally with the following intellectual property matters:

Patents: If you are an individual inventor who wants to protect the technology of your business or collect royalties from the companies who license your invention, you need a patent attorney to make sure your utility or design patent application is properly filed and prosecuted before the US Patent and Trademark Office (PTO). (more)

Trademarks: When you want to make sure the rights to your business and product’s name, appearance, and marketing concepts are protected through a registered trademark, you need a trademark lawyer to register your trademarks with the PTO. To make sure your trademark stays protected, I am diligent in policing for trademark infringement.(more)

Copyright: As a copyright attorney, I work to make sure that artistic works, computer games, computer software, and other written works are protected internationally. (more)

Trade Secrets: When your business depends on a secret list of ingredients, a confidential proprietary process, other knowledge that cannot be patented or the details of your invention before your patent application issues as a patent, I draft strong, enforceable confidentiality agreements for your business partners, customers, investors, and employees and help your business develop business alliances, policies and processes that protect the confidential information your business needs.(more)

Business Planning & Formation: To ensure the success of your business, I help with business formation and choice of legal entity, whether you are interested in a limited liability company (LLC) or a sub-S corporation, I can create your business entity in either Oregon or California. With a focus on protecting intellectual property assets, I draft effective employee non-disclosure agreements and make sure that assets are properly disposed of when businesses are winding down.(more)

Mergers and Acquisitions: When companies merge with or acquire other companies, I am effective in working with your business team to make sure technical assets, such as patents, trademarks, copyrights, and trade secrets are protected. I also perform due diligence and contract reviews.(more)

Licensing: “Licensing” is granting permission to use intellectual property rights, such as trademarks, patents, or technology, under defined conditions. (more)
