Providing an Assessment of Your Rights

You've worked hard to come up with a new idea or innovative product, and need an attorney who will work just as hard to protect your intellectual property rights. Robert J. Hess will provide you with an assessment of your rights and help you determine if there are impediments in the form of intellectual property rights that you need to be aware of. This will allow you to make any necessary adjustments to your new idea or product before proceeding.

Are there competitors who possess their own intellectual property rights that can be asserted against your launch of a new product or service?

Robert J. Hess will work with you in an effort to preserve your freedom to operate by providing an assessment of the likelihood of prevailing in a dispute with the competitor. He will provide recommendations, if desired, for modifying the product to design around the competitor's intellectual property rights or for keeping the product as is on the basis that the competitor's intellectual property rights are likely invalid or not infringed.

He can also help you explore the viability of a trademark you are seeking. Does someone else already have a trademark that may render yours confusingly similar and thus unregistrable? Is there the potential for a legal conflict and who is likely to ultimately prevail? He will help you answer those questions in an effort to make sure your rights are protected.
