Patents, Trademarks, Service Marks, & Copyrights

Red Rock Corporate Solutions has teamed up with one of the premier intellectual property law firms in the country so that we can offer our clients the best possible protection of their intellectual property rights. Our goal is to help our clients to protect their corporate image and vital ideas with comprehensive services that include; invention patent searches, trademark searches, patent information, trademark logos, patent ideas, copyright law, and any other issues that relate to intellectual property.

When starting the process of incorporation or LLC formation, you need to consider that you will have a logo and company name that is valuable and could very well need trademark protection. If you have a website and do not want others to use the content that is posted on it then you need copyright protection. For a Nevada corporation or LLC, you have the option of doing a Nevada trademark. This will offer you some level of protection without costing you the fee of a national trademark. Our team of corporate consulting experts can help you to decide the best possible path for intellectual property when incorporating in Nevada. Copyrights are essential if your business is creating printed material that have proprietary information that you would not want other companies to have access to and give you legal recourse if that material is used improperly.

Patents
A patent is the most legally enforceable way to protect your intellectual property from being stolen and marketed by someone else without your consent. Unfortunately the patenting process can sometimes be lengthy and expensive because, once filed, you are considered to have patent pending status until your application has been approved by the U.S. Patent & Trademark office in Washington DC. The application is not an easy process and, while you can submit a patent application on your own, it is an arduous process that most people end up retaining a patent attorney for. Before you can submit an invention patent application for review, you must conduct an extensive patent search to ensure that you will have some likelihood of having your patent idea approved and to ensure that someone else has not already come up with the idea. Our team of intellectual property law experts and researchers offer dedicated and concise patent search and filing services and are available to answer any questions and offer expert patent information.

Trademarks
A trademark is a symbol, word, device, or name that indicates the foundation of a product and distinctively distinguishes it from any other product. By conducting a trademark search and filing once it comes back clear, you will attain trademark protection your company or corporate logo can begin to be embedded into the minds of people without fear of lawsuits. Trademarks are offered by the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office. These trademarks will aid in the prevention of others from illegally using or confusingly using a similar mark, but it can't prevent others from making that same product or from selling that same product under a clearly different mark. We offer Nevada trademarks that are somewhat less enforceable outside of Nevada but are much more affordable if you have a tight budget or if you have a Nevada corporation or LLC formation and do not need national trademark protection. For both types of trademarks you will need to do a trademark search similar to a patent search to ensure that no one else is already using your particular trademark logo or name. Red Rock Corporate Solutions’ intellectual property law division has the necessary tools to ensure that every precaution is take to protect your intellectual property rights and, if necessary, litigate to rectify any infringement on those rights.

Copyrights
Copyright protection is essential to securing your business’ intellectual property. By getting a copyright you can ensure the uniqueness in what you do. By living in Nevada, copyrights are a vital role in new and existing businesses due to the growth in towns like Las Vegas. By utilizing copyright protection you can be sure your content remains original. One example of this is, when you are building a website and are trying to get ranked by the search engines, you will need to have unique content that does not appear anywhere else on the internet. If the search engines find that you have the same content as another site you will be penalized for it and will have trouble getting your site ranked. By implementing copyright protection on the site you can find the offending sites and notify them of the infraction. If they do not correct the problem you will be able to have legal recourse because of copyright law.

Service Marks
A Service Mark consists of a word, symbol, device, name, or a combination thereof, used (or intended to be used), in commerce, to distinguish and identify the services of any particular provider from services that are provided by others. Service Marks are also used to indicate the source of the services provided. A Service Mark identifies and distinguishes the source of a service instead of a product as in the case of other types of intellectual property protection. Similar to patent searches and trademark searches you must search existing Service Marks in order to ensure that you have a unique idea. Once in place, our team of intellectual property law experts can unsure that your intellectual property rights are secure.
