In today’s digital world, it is important to know how to protect your intellectual property. At RMS, we will advocate for your interests with the United States Patent and Trademark Office to file and advise you about the process of registering your trademarks and/or copyrights. We can also assist you with an infringement action if someone is improperly utilizing your name, logo, or creative content.

Since we live in an age where people can access information easily, the lines between ownership and public access can seem confusing. The process of protecting the literary works, music, photographs, logos, phrases, designs, and other intellectual property or marketing devices that you or your company have created, or that you or your company hired someone to create for you, is an important one.

If you would like to pursue the filing of or federal protection for a trademark, copyright, or other intellectual property, or if you believe you may have an action for infringement by someone else on your intellectual property, the attorneys at RMS, can help. We can work with you to find the best solution and help you protect your property. We are licensed to practice in Missouri, Arkansas, Kansas, and Oklahoma, and three of our attorneys are registered to practice with the United States Patent and Trademark Office.
