Business Intellectual Property Attorneys

Washington, D.C. • Annapolis • Baltimore • Northern Virginia

At the Greenbelt and Annapolis offices of McNamee Hosea, we're determined to protect the lasting value of your business-owned intellectual property. The ideas you've developed to gain an advantage in your highly competitive industry are as important to us as they are to you.

Creativity is the asset that drives business development. Our intellectual property lawyers are zealous about shielding your innovations from theft and illegal replication. We offer numerous strategies to help you maintain ownership of your unique ideas, enforce your existing rights, and secure valuable advice about their application to current technologies in a number of prospering industries.

Our Major Concerns

McNamee Hosea provides clients in Maryland, Virginia, and the D.C. Metro areas with experienced representation in all major aspects of business intellectual property work, such as:

• Federal and state trademarks
• Service mark registrations
• Licensing and sublicensing

When a new or prospective client presents a new business idea to us, we immediately act to protect their interests. We direct you through the rules and regulations of acquiring a copyright or trademark with which to safeguard this latest, laudable evidence of your creativity.

Your gift for the creative and sense of innovation aren't worth much, though, unless your rights are registered and enforced. So we endeavor to protect your interests via litigation and appeals if necessary. We offer in-depth advice and opinions on matters like infringement, liability, clearance, right to use, and validity.

Secure, Protect, Manage

In short, our primary jobs in this process are to secure, protect, and manage your ideas. We also encourage your future original innovations for the marketplace. The business intellectual property portion of our successful practice is yet another reason why, after twenty-five years of service, we're known as "the business owner's law firm."
