Protecting Intellectual Property in A Global Economy

It's not news that we are now living and doing business in a global economy. As such, it's important that an intellectual property law firm is also experienced in international intellectual property law. Even more basic than that, is an attorney who understands the question "what is intellectual property?" As a partial introduction to intellectual property rights, we will define it here as:

property that derives from the work of the mind or intellect Specifically; an idea, invention, trade secret, process, program, data, formula, copyright, or trademark or application, right, or registration relating thereto

A business trademark is as distinctive as a human fingerprint. It is part of your net worth, and is considered an asset on which a value can be placed. If it is an asset it can be stolen. Businesses and trademark owners need to protect their company's identity, their copyrights, and trademarks from others who may try to steal their intellectual property. Rubin Ferziger has achieved success for many businesses that have been at risk for trademark infringement from other business enterprises. In several classic David and Goliath cases, major corporations have been made to abide by same intellectual property laws that prevent a local bottler from naming his cola beverage similar to the worldwide household brand names. Just because an infringer has unlimited financial resources doesn't mean you must surrender your business identity or product name.

When you license intellectual property, or purchase rights to sell products or services under a particular trademark, there may be other legal difficulties involved. For example, a New York wearing apparel company under Rubin's guidance purchased trademark rights to sell clothing in the United States and its territories and possessions. Immediately upon the purchase of the trademarks, the sales representative in the territory of Puerto Rico was terminated. The sales representative claimed that under the law of Puerto Rico, termination was not lawful. The exposure to the New York company was in the millions of dollars. Rubin resolved the matter by negotiating for his client to pay the sales representative only the sales commission actually earned, an amount less than $200,000.00 dollars.
