We even extend our practice to even more specialized areas of intellectual property laws such as trade secrets, computer and Internet law, unfair competition, and franchising matters related to intellectual property.

Practice Areas Description
Gold & Rizvi, P.A. provides legal services and representation in all aspects of intellectual property law including:- Patent Law
Patent law allows an individual to profit from their idea. By holding a patent, it gives you the legal right to stop others from using your idea unless they:
1. Obtain your permission first;
2. And pay you a continuous licensing fee (or royalty payment) - or purchase the patent from you.
When you file a patent, you establish ownership of an idea. Its very similar to the way a Title proves ownership of an automobile or a deed proves ownership of your home. And just like your home, patents can be very valuable. They can be sold, purchased, leased and used as collateral for loans. You can even use a will and pass it along to your heirs.
- Trademark Law
A trademark gives you the exclusive right to use a mark to distinguish the goods or services of one person or company from another. Typically, a trademark will be a word, phrase, logo or design. Sometimes youll even see a trademark be a combination of these elements.
- Copyright Law
Copyrights are typically used to protect creative expressions, such as:
Books
Articles
Seminars
Sales brochures
Advertising
Solicitation letters and emails
Instruction manuals
Architectural and engineering drawings
Pictures
Photographs
Paintings
Graphical images
Web-site designs and content
Computer software
Music
And sound recordings
With our current laws, copyright protection is given even if the copyright owner does not register the work with the U.S. Copyright Office. However, if you find that someone else has "borrowed" your work or is using it without permission; you must register the work with the Copyright Office before you begin any legal proceedings.
- Internet & Computer Law
Intellectual property protection, as it relates to the Internet, encompasses a number of different areas. For example, it could include patent protection for unique web-based business methods and online processes, trademark protection for online identities and domain names, and even copyright protection for creative expressions, such as website designs, advertising company, and images.
- Trade Secret Law
Trade secret law will protect a business' proprietary and confidential information that they use as part of their normal business practice. Some common examples of what is protected by trade secret law would be marketing plans, customer or supplier lists, formulas for chemical or biological compositions, and unique manufacturing processes.
- Unfair Competition Law
Our nations Unfair Competition laws apply to a large number of commercial or business conducts including:
acts of trademark and trade dress infringement
false advertising
dilution
and trade secret theft
Typically, unfair competition exists when a business markets its product or service in a way that deliberately causes consumers to become confused over who actually sells what product or service. When a judge finds that one of your competitors is engaging in unfair competition, they typically will issue an injunction preventing them from continuing their practice and order them to compensate you.
- Franchise Law
The success of any franchise is largely due to a trademark for the product or service that is being provided. When a business owner finds others that are willing to invest their time and money to assist with growing a business concept, that business owner can use franchising to clone their business ideas and marketing techniques. The franchise owner will then see growth rates much higher than if they were opening more units by themselves.
