Trademark & Copyright Attorney

Protect Your Brand, Creative Work & Business Identity

Your brand, logos, creative content, and business name are valuable assets that set you apart from competitors. The last thing you want is for another business to copy your name, use your unique branding, or claim ownership of your creative work.

At the Law Offices of Sean-Michael Green, LLC, we provide comprehensive intellectual property protection in Connecticut. Whether you need to trademark a brand name, copyright creative content, or explore other legal protections, we help you safeguard your business, prevent infringement, and maintain ownership rights.

What’s the Difference Between Trademarks & Copyrights?

Many business owners are unsure whether they need a trademark, copyright, or other legal protection. Here’s how they differ:

✔ Trademarks – Protects brand names, logos, slogans, and symbols that identify a business, product, or service.
✔ Copyrights – Protects original works of authorship, such as written content, music, photography, videos, and artwork.
✔ Patents – Protects inventions, new technology, and product designs (for which we can refer you to a patent specialist).

If you're unsure which protection applies to your situation, we assess your intellectual property and develop a cost-effective protection strategy.

Our Intellectual Property Services

Trademark Registration & Protection

A trademark legally protects your brand and prevents others from using a similar name, logo, or slogan in your industry. We help you:

📌 Conduct a thorough trademark search to ensure your mark isn’t already in use.
📌 Register your trademark with the Connecticut Secretary of the State for state protection.
📌 File for a federal trademark with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) for nationwide protection.
📌 Monitor & enforce trademark rights, stopping others from infringing on your brand.
📌 Respond to trademark disputes & infringement claims, defending your business when necessary.

✔ Protect your business name, logo, and tagline before someone else claims it!

Copyright Registration & Enforcement

A copyright automatically protects original creative works, but registering your copyright gives you stronger legal rights in case of infringement. We assist with:

📌 Copyright registration for books, blogs, videos, music, photography, websites, and more.
📌 Cease-and-desist letters & legal action against unauthorized use of your content.
📌 Copyright licensing & sales agreements, so you can legally sell or monetize your work.
📌 Digital copyright enforcement to prevent online content theft and plagiarism.

✔ Own your creative work and prevent others from stealing it!

Trademark & Copyright Infringement Defense

If someone copies your brand, logo, or content, we can help enforce your rights. We provide:

✔ Cease-and-desist letters to stop unauthorized use.
✔ Negotiations & settlements for disputes.
✔ Litigation support if you need to take legal action.

Conversely, if you are accused of infringement, we defend your business and help resolve disputes without costly lawsuits whenever possible.
