Intellectual Property Legal Questions and Answers

Intellectual Property

Trademark

Massachusetts

Asked on Oct 22, 2021

Can I trademark the name of my software?

Can I trademark the name of my software if the same name is already trademarked in a different country/state? I am starting up a FinTech company right now and I am trying to trademark the name of my mobile app; however, after some searching, I realized that a company in the UK has already trademarked the same name. It is also a company that makes a mobile app in the FinTech industry - just in a different area of interest. Are there any suggestions for how I would go about trademarking the name of my software, or do I have to come up with a different name?

Roman V.

Answered Nov 2, 2021

Yes, it's generally possible to trademark the name of your software, as long as it is not a generic name or descriptive of the product. You should also do a clearance search to make sure no other company is using the same or similar name for similar services. I would be glad to discuss more details and help with the trademark process. Thanks.

Trademark Application

New York

Asked on Jun 20, 2024

Can I trademark a phrase that includes a common word?

I am in the process of starting a small business selling handmade jewelry, and I have come up with a catchy phrase that I want to use as my brand name. However, the phrase includes a word that is commonly used in the industry. I am unsure if I can successfully trademark this phrase, as I have heard that trademarks cannot be registered for generic or descriptive terms. I would like to know if it is possible to trademark this phrase and what steps I need to take to ensure the best chance of success in the trademark application process.

Damien B.

Answered Jun 21, 2024

Hello! This is Attorney Damien Bosco. My law office is in Forest Hills, Queens County, New York City. My practice covers the New York City metropolitan area and Long Island. In some situations, I also handle matters throughout New York State. If your phrase contains common jewelry terms, registering it may be challenging. One suggestion is to check the USPTO Database for similar trademarks. If other businesses have brands using the same common word in their brand name, that could give an indication that you may still be able to use it in your brand name. Nonexclusive use means that the word or phrase can be used by other parties and is not solely owned or controlled by the trademark holder. Consult with a trademark attorney for guidance on the registration process and the viability of your chosen phrase.

Patent Assignment Agreement

Kansas

Asked on Aug 23, 2025

What are the key provisions to include in a Patent Assignment Agreement?

I recently invented a new technology and I want to ensure that I have full ownership of the patent rights. I am in the process of assigning the patent to my company, but I am unsure about the necessary provisions that should be included in the Patent Assignment Agreement. I want to make sure that the agreement adequately transfers all rights and obligations, protects against potential disputes, and ensures that my company has exclusive rights to the patent.

Randy M.

Answered Sep 8, 2025

A Patent Assignment Agreement transfers ownership of an invention or patent rights from the inventor, known as the assignor, to another party, often a company serving as the assignee. To protect your business and ensure enforceability, the agreement should cover specific provisions that make the transfer clear, complete, and legally sound. What Is the Core Assignment Clause? The assignment clause is the heart of the agreement. It should use present-tense language such as “hereby assigns, transfers, and conveys all right, title, and interest.” Courts and the USPTO treat this as an immediate transfer, while “will assign” is only a future promise. The clause should also cover continuation, divisional, or continuation-in-part applications, along with reissues, reexaminations, and foreign filings. What Rights Should Be Transferred? The assignee should receive the full bundle of rights granted under 35 U.S.C. § 154, including the right to make, use, sell, offer for sale, import, and license the invention. The agreement should also transfer the right to sue for past, present, and future infringement, so the company can recover damages even for activity that occurred before the assignment was signed. Do You Need Consideration? Every contract requires consideration, and patent assignments are no different. Even if the transfer is to your own company, the agreement should recite consideration. This can be nominal, such as “ten dollars and other good and valuable consideration,” or it can be tied to equity or to your role as founder. How Should the Patent Be Identified? The intellectual property should be identified with precision. If a patent has issued, include the number and issue date. For pending applications, list the application number, filing date, and invention title. If no application has been filed yet, provide a detailed description and later update the record once official filing details exist. What Warranties and Representations Are Common? The assignor should warrant ownership of the rights, authority to assign, and absence of liens or conflicting assignments. Over-warranting should be avoided. Do not guarantee novelty or validity, since those are determined by the USPTO and courts. Be cautious about warranting sole inventorship unless you are certain no other inventors contributed, since misstatements on inventorship can create validity problems. What Other Provisions Should Be Included? Other common provisions include further assurances requiring the inventor to assist with future filings, litigation, or USPTO actions, a limited power of attorney for patent prosecution and enforcement, and improvements clauses that attempt to capture future modifications or developments. Improvements provisions must be drafted carefully, as vague scope language can lead to disputes. The agreement should also address corporate authority, ensuring the company has approval under bylaws or state law before accepting the assignment. What Administrative Details Matter? The agreement should contain standard contract terms such as governing law, entire agreement, amendment requirements, successors and assigns, and dispute resolution through arbitration or mediation. Both the inventor and the company should sign, and notarization is advisable because it makes USPTO recordation smoother. Do You Need to Record with the USPTO? After execution, the assignment should be recorded with the USPTO through the Electronic Patent Assignment System. Recordation should occur promptly after execution to establish clear priority and maintain a clean chain of title. While recordation is not required for validity between the parties, it protects ownership against third-party claims. The USPTO currently charges little or no fee for electronic filings, so this step is inexpensive and essential. Should You Assign or License? An assignment transfers complete ownership, which investors generally expect. A license keeps ownership with the inventor while granting defined rights to the company. Licensing may be useful when the inventor wants to retain control, license the technology to multiple companies, or test the market before giving up ownership. For most startups, assignment is the preferred approach. What About Tax Considerations? Assignments can have tax consequences, especially when IP is transferred for equity or other forms of consideration. Professional tax advice is essential to evaluate both immediate tax effects and ongoing obligations. This is particularly important if the company later earns royalties or sells the patent. What Are the Next Steps? The implementation process should include drafting the agreement with qualified legal counsel, executing it with proper corporate authority and notarization where possible, recording it promptly with the USPTO using EPAS, and consulting a tax professional to address both the transfer itself and any ongoing obligations. If you need help drafting or reviewing a Patent Assignment Agreement, the attorneys on Contracts Counsel can guide you through the process so that your company’s rights are fully protected.

Video License Agreement

Maryland

Asked on Aug 16, 2024

Can I use a video licensed under a Creative Commons license for commercial purposes?

I am a small business owner planning to create an advertisement for my product, and I found a video on a platform that is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial license. While I understand that the license allows for non-commercial use, I am unsure if I can use this video in a commercial context without violating the terms of the license. I want to ensure that I am legally using the video and not infringing on any rights or facing potential legal consequences.

Haroldo M.

Answered Sep 18, 2024

Hi. If the Creative Commons License that you mentioned (CC BY-NC 4.0) does not allow for commercial usage, using that content commercially would violate the license. If you tranform the work sufficiently, you could potentially use it without violating the terms of the license.

DMCA Policy

Florida

Asked on Aug 8, 2025

Can I be held liable for DMCA violations if I unknowingly host copyrighted material on my website?

As a website owner, I recently received a DMCA takedown notice claiming that I am hosting copyrighted material without permission. However, I was unaware that the material was copyrighted and it was uploaded by a user. I promptly removed the content upon receiving the notice, but I'm concerned about potential legal consequences. Can I be held liable for DMCA violations if I unknowingly host copyrighted material on my website?

Amy B.

Answered Sep 9, 2025

Since the user uploaded copyrighted material to your website without your knowledge, generally you will not be automatically liable under the DMCA “safe harbor” provision. As you have already removed the content, make sure that your site has a published DMCA policy and that you have registered your designated agent with the U.S. Copyright Office. Generally, if you have everything in place, most of these matters are resolved without ongoing liability. Feel free to reach out if you need guidance on setting up a policy and agent registration.
