Frequently Asked Questions
Why is IP assignment so important for startups?
Without proper IP assignment agreements, IP created by employees, advisors, or contractors may not legally belong to the company. This can block fundraising, acquisitions, or partnerships.
Do the trademark guides replace trademark registration?
No. The trademark guides are educational and strategic resources. They explain how trademark protection and registration work but do not replace trademark searches, filings, or prosecution.
Is patent protection included?
No. Patent drafting, filing, or prosecution is not included. Patent services require specialized counsel and separate engagement.
