Intellectual property laws exist to protect the fruits of your creation, whether resulting from technical development, scientific research or artistic inspiration.
However, creation is only the beginning. There are many additional steps involved in protecting and taking advantage of your intellectual property. Zak Shusterman advises clients on their intellectual property rights from conception through protection and exploitation.
Beyond consultation, Zak is qualified to prosecute patent and trademark applications as well as copyright registrations. On your behalf, he can structure and negotiate transactions involving your intellectual property and draft licensing, distribution, and non-disclosure agreements. It is also important to address any intellectual property rights that may be affected by your business agreements. Zak can advise on any intellectual property issues involved in your commercial contracts, such as sales and service contracts, employment agreements, and consultant relationships.
Recent matters have included: publication agreements for online and printed works; use of trademarks in film; cross-licensing agreements; non-disclosure policies; use of acadmic materials in a theatrical production.
