When you invent an innovative product or service, you want to avoid having anyone else take credit for or profit from it. You want to lay claim to it as its rightful creator.
However, you may have some questions about how to secure total rights to your invention. Rather than rely on your own lack of legal skills to protect it, you can retain counsel like an experienced trademark attorney in Chicago to represent you.
Securing Your Rights
Your lawyer can secure your rights to the product or service that you invented and prevent anyone else from laying claim to it or making any money from it. You want to avoid the risk of anyone claiming that they actually created the product or service. You also want to avoid anyone receiving money from sales of your invention.
Your lawyer can file the right paperwork with the government agency that will trademark your product or service for you. You can then maintain legal ownership of that product or service until you want to sell it or allow others to partially or completely replicate it.
You can also make sure all of the money from its sale comes directly to you and no one else. You can find out more about retaining a trademark attorney in Chicago to represent you and your invention online. To set up a consultation with one of these types of lawyers, contact Jayaram Law, Inc.
