Overview

The often-complex interplay between corporate transactions and intellectual property law can be both paramount and confounding for a business, especially when trying to ensure that the intrinsic value of their intellectual property is adequately protected. Whether it is copyright, trademark, trade secrets, or other forms of IP, McBrayer’s intellectual property team regularly collaborates with our corporate department to make sure that our clients have the greatest flexibility to market and monetize their intellectual property while making certain that proper protections are in place and their rights are vigorously enforced.

McBrayer’s IP focus spans a wide swath of industries for our clients, including energy, healthcare, construction, hospitality, technology, entertainment, and real estate. Our depth of experience allows us to easily scale our counsel for clients of any size or stage, whether a single entrepreneur with an idea and a dream or a multistate company with a well-developed infrastructure. Above all, we recognize and appreciate that clients have a story to tell – and it’s McBrayer’s job to ensure that they have both the IP protections and business flexibility to bring those stories to life.
