Los Angeles Trademark & Intellectual Property Attorneys

Your brand identity, creative content, and innovative ideas are among your most valuable business assets. In a highly competitive market like Los Angeles, failing to legally protect your intellectual property can leave you vulnerable to theft, copycats, and costly litigation. Lum Law Group provides strategic IP protection for content creators, tech startups, and established businesses.

Protecting Your Most Valuable Business Assets

We bridge the gap between creative vision and robust legal defense. Our core intellectual property services include:

 

  • Trademark Registration & Strategy: We conduct comprehensive clearance searches to ensure your business name, logo, or slogan is available, then manage the entire federal filing process with the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO). If the USPTO issues an Office Action, our attorneys expertly draft the necessary legal responses to keep your registration on track.
  • Copyright Protection: We help artists, software developers, writers, and digital creators secure federal copyright protection for their original works, establishing a public record of ownership and the legal right to enforce it against infringement.
  • Creators’ Rights & Brand Deals: Los Angeles is the capital of the creator economy. We review and negotiate licensing agreements, brand deals, and agency contracts to ensure you retain control of your likeness, content, and financial rights.
  • IP Enforcement & Cease and Desist: If someone is using your protected intellectual property without permission, we take decisive action. From drafting aggressive cease and desist letters to negotiating settlements, we fiercely protect what you have built.

Why Los Angeles Creators & Innovators Trust Us

Intellectual property is not just about filing forms; it is a critical component of your overall business strategy. We take a holistic approach, ensuring your IP portfolio aligns with your company’s growth goals, risk management, and long-term valuation.
