About Intellectual Property Law

Intellectual property has been defined in many different ways, but it is generally understood to be a product of someone’s mind that has commercial value and for which property rights are recognized.

Intellectual property law guarantees exclusive access rights to the owners of a creation. These creations include artistic works, inventions, discoveries, designs, symbols, and even phrases. New technologies are one of the areas we specialize in at Heydary Hamilton—IP rights in this area include website domain names, software development and licensing, and online distribution of creative works.

At Heydary Hamilton, we view IP rights as an integral part of any business and we believe that companies need to devise a strategy to ensure that their IP is protected.

Our legal team has considerable experience in all areas of IP law as well as a network of associates who can help clients with the issues specific to their industry.

What Is Covered By IP Law

Many fields of legal practice are a part of intellectual property law. These include the following areas in which our firm provides services:

  • Trade-marks. Trade-marks are used to differentiate the goods and services of one company from another. A trade-mark can consist of a design, symbol, or words. To ensure your trade-mark is protected, we can register your business name, logo, brand or slogan as a trade-mark. We are authorized to register trade-marks in Canada and the U.S.
  • Copyright. Copyright is defined as the exclusive rights granted to the creator of an original work, including the right to reproduce, perform or publish a work. In Canada, you acquire copyright as soon as you create a work, but copyright registration is commonly done to secure legal protections for creative works, including literary, dramatic, musical, and artistic works. Heydary Hamilton can register copyright in Canada and the U.S. and litigate copyright disputes.
  • Patents. Patents give an inventor exclusive rights to make, use, and sell the invention claimed in the patent. Patents apply to a specific jurisdiction and time frame. Our patent lawyers will carry out all of the necessary functions to ensure that your patent is properly registered and protected.
  • Software. We can prepare agreements that protect your rights to the software you develop, license or use.
  • Other IP issues. Under our IP, Entertainment and Online Gaming departments, we also provide legal services for issues affecting the distribution and licensing of works.
