Intellectual property law in Morris County

Benjamin Appelbaum, Attorney at Law, works to protect the intellectual property rights of New Jersey’s residents. If you require assistance protecting your industrial property or artistic ideas in Morris County, call our Flanders office and discuss your case in detail.

Intellectual property laws involve creations of the mind and, as mentioned before, can range from the artistic to the industrial. Use of one person’s intellectual property by another generally requires obtaining permission, such as a license, from the owner of the intellectual property .

Copyright material remains the property of the artist until a certain period after his or her death. This allows the artist’s family to reap financial benefits from the material. Industrial property requires a patent or other document that authorizes ownership and these have time limits. The current term for a utility patent is twenty (20) years from the date of the first United States filing. The current term for a design patent is fourteen (14) years from the date the patent issues.

Contact Benjamin Appelbaum and learn how intellectual property law protects and upholds your rights to your ideas.
