TRADEMARKS
A trademark is a design, expression or symbol that identifies products from a particular source. These letters, words or marks are adopted by businesses so that consumers can distinguish one company’s products from those of another company. Trademarks help a business protect its goods and services from national and regional competition.
They are also very important for branding purposes. At Harris & Huge, our Charleston trademark attorneys help our clients select a trademark by reviewing availability. Once selected, we will register the trademark with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, as well as with the South Carolina Secretary of State. Lastly, we will maintain and enforce trademarks against opposition or cancellation.
COPYRIGHTS
A copyright confers a legal right upon the creator of a work to exclusively determine whether the work may be used by others. Copyrights can be sought for any original tangible work, whether published or unpublished. They allow an author or artist to be compensated for the use of his or her work by another.
Harris & Huge works with clients to obtain and protect copyrights for all applicable works of authorship, including written (such as books or plays), visual (such as photographs or paintings) or visual (such as sound recordings). Our Charleston copyright attorneys will register the copyright with the United State Copyright Office, protect copyrights from hardcopy or online infringement and litigate claims of copyright infringement.
