Practice Areas
Thaler IP Law provides focused counsel in intellectual property and select healthcare matters. We protect the brands, inventions, and creative work that define what growing businesses are built on, and advise healthcare providers and organizations on federal regulatory, reimbursement, and out-of-court healthcare matters. Flat-fee. Attorney-led. Fully remote.
Trademarks
Your brand is one of your most valuable assets. A trademark protects the name, logo, or slogan that distinguishes your business from every other in the market. Trademark rights can arise through use. Federal registration can provide important nationwide benefits, including constructive notice, a presumption of validity, and additional enforcement tools.
We work with startups securing their first trademark, established companies auditing their portfolio, and everyone in between. Whether you need a clearance search, a USPTO filing strategy, or enforcement against an infringer, we handle it with precision and flat-fee clarity.
What We Handle
- Trademark clearance searches and availability assessments
- USPTO trademark applications and prosecution
- Multi-class trademark filing strategy
- Trademark portfolio management and renewals
- Cease and desist letters and infringement response
- Trademark licensing and assignment agreements
- Brand protection strategy for growing companies
Every trademark filing is handled directly by a licensed IP attorney. We don't outsource to paralegals or automated systems.
Patents
A U.S. patent generally gives its owner the right to exclude others from making, using, offering for sale, selling, or importing the claimed invention in the United States for the applicable patent term. A patent does not necessarily confer an affirmative right to practice the invention; other patents or legal requirements may also apply. Patent protection may provide important rights for eligible inventions and can form part of a broader IP strategy.
We advise on patent strategy, support the application process, and conduct IP due diligence for transactions and fundraising rounds. Our approach is strategic: we help you protect what matters most, not just what's easy to file.
What We Handle
- Patent strategy and portfolio planning
- Utility and design patent application support
- Provisional patent applications
- IP due diligence for mergers, acquisitions, and funding rounds
- IP assignment and ownership agreements
- Trade secret protection and NDA drafting
- Inventor agreements and work-for-hire documentation
Patent strategy starts before the application. We help you identify what's worth protecting and build a portfolio that holds value.
Copyrights
Copyright protects original creative work: written content, software code, visual designs, marketing materials, and more. If your business creates anything, you have IP worth registering and protecting.
We handle copyright registration, licensing, and infringement response. Registered copyrights are stronger in enforcement and create a clear chain of ownership that matters in transactions, licensing deals, and disputes.
What We Handle
- Copyright registration with the U.S. Copyright Office
- Copyright licensing agreements
- Work-for-hire agreements and ownership documentation
- Infringement response and cease and desist letters
- DMCA takedown support
- Copyright due diligence for transactions
- Creative asset ownership structuring
Copyright protection generally arises automatically when an original work is fixed in a tangible medium. For U.S. works, registration or refusal by the Copyright Office is generally required before filing a federal infringement action, subject to applicable exceptions. Timely registration can also affect eligibility for statutory damages and attorney's fees. We make registration fast and straightforward.
