Intellectual Property

Protecting Imagination And Innovation®

Intellectual property refers to property rights that arise from the work of one’s mind- imagination and innovation. The legal basis for protecting intellectual property rights can be found in the United States Constitution, which provides that:

“Congress shall have the power…To promote the Progress of Science and useful Arts, by securing for limited Times to Authors and Inventors the exclusive Right to their respective Writings and Discoveries.”
U.S. Constitution, Article I, Section 8, Paragraph 8.

Ashley Law Firm P.C. provides services in all areas of intellectual property, including patents, trademarks, copyrights and trade secrets.
