Frequently Asked Questions

  • What services does Sanchelima & Associates offer?

    Sanchelima & Associates advises clients on patents, trademarks, copyrights, licensing, trade secrets, franchising, intellectual-property disputes, and selected commercial-litigation matters.

  • What is intellectual property and why is it important?

    Intellectual property includes certain legal rights associated with inventions, brands, creative works, confidential information, and related business assets. The protection available depends on the facts, ownership, use, registration, and applicable law.

  • What does a trademark protect?

    Trademark law may protect words, names, symbols, logos, slogans, and other source identifiers, depending on their distinctiveness, use, priority, and the related goods or services.

  • What does a patent attorney do?

    A patent attorney can help evaluate patentability and filing strategy, prepare and prosecute patent applications before the USPTO, advise on ownership or licensing, and handle patent disputes, depending on the engagement.

  • What is the difference between copyright and trademark?

    Copyright can protect original works of authorship, while trademarks identify the source of goods or services. The same product may involve both, but their requirements, scope, and duration differ.

  • Why should I hire an intellectual property attorney?

    An intellectual-property attorney can help identify the appropriate form of protection, evaluate risks, prepare filings or agreements, and address enforcement or disputes. The available options and likely outcomes depend on the facts and applicable law.

  • Do you offer international intellectual property protection?

    The firm coordinates selected international and foreign patent and trademark matters through applicable filing systems and foreign counsel when required. Availability and scope depend on the jurisdiction and the matter.
