IP & ENTERTAINMENT LAW

A trademark is a powerful, protectable representation of your brand itself. It instantly communicates the unique qualities of your products and services, and embodies your company’s reputation, originality, and goodwill. With a single word (name, title), tagline, and/or logo, a strong trademark captures and defends market share—creating a solid foundation and invaluable representation for your brand. Vivid IP guides you through the entire trademark lifecycle: From selection, clearance, and registration, to renewal and enforcement. We’ll work with your branding team to select a distinctive mark that’s both marketable and legally protectable. Or, provide you with recommended, vetted trademark options to align with your branding goals. By continuously developing our global network of elite, boutique IP firm partners, we offer the strongest, most strategic trademark protection possible—the world over.

A copyright protects original works of authorship that are fixed in a tangible medium of expression. In other words: Books, websites, blogs, music, movies, photographs, paintings, sculptures, live performances, software elements (including source code, object code, APIs, graphic elements, sequencing of tasks within the program), and other written or created works. As a creator, author, or artist, successfully copyrighting your work is essential to protecting its integrity, originality, and value for years to come. Vivid IP is prepared to assist you every step of the way.
