Copyright and trademark services for businesses and creatives

Trademark protection

Clear, file, and protect the name, logo, or slogan your customers know you by.

Your business name is probably your most valuable asset, and registering an LLC does not protect it. A federal trademark registration gives you nationwide rights, a public record of ownership, and leverage when someone copies you.

What's included

• Clearance search and risk opinion before you invest in a name
• USPTO trademark application, drafted to avoid common rejections
• Responses to USPTO office actions
• Cease-and-desist letters and responses when there is a conflict
• Post-registration maintenance and use guidance

Copyright protection

Register, own, and enforce rights in the creative work your business runs on.

Copyright exists the moment you create something, but registration is what lets you sue for infringement and recover statutory damages. Just as important: making sure you actually own the work you paid freelancers, designers, and agencies to make.

What's included

• Copyright registration for art, photos, writing, music, video, software, and courses
• Ownership cleanup: assignments from contractors and collaborators
• DMCA takedown notices and counter-notices
• Guidance on AI-assisted work and what can be protected
• Infringement assessment and demand letters

AI legal review

You asked AI. Now ask a lawyer. We check what AI drafted before you rely on it.

AI tools are good at producing documents that look right. They are not good at knowing your business, California law, or what is missing. Send us the terms of service, licensing agreement, trademark answer, or contract that AI gave you, and we will tell you what to fix.

What's included

• Line-by-line review of AI-generated contracts, terms, and policies
• Plain-English memo of risks, gaps, and errors
• Redlined revision you can actually use
• A short call to walk through the changes

Creator & licensing agreements

The agreements that decide who owns the work and who gets paid for it.

Most IP disputes for businesses start with a missing or vague agreement. We draft and review the documents that keep ownership, credit, and payment clear.

What's included

• Licensing agreements (licensing out or licensing in)
• Independent contractor and IP assignment agreements
• Collaboration, brand partnership, and influencer agreements
• Website terms of use and content policies

IP strategy session

One focused online meeting. You leave with a clear plan.

Not sure what you need yet? Book a strategy session. We look at your brand, your content, and your business model, identify what to protect first, and map out next steps and costs.

What's included

• 30-minute consult: focused answers to one or two questions, with summary notes
• 60-minute strategy session: a review of your name, logo, content, and key agreements, with a prioritized written action plan
• Both by video with a California-licensed attorney
