INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY
Many technology and IP laws exist. Below are four major intellectual property laws in the United States that are important for multimedia and technology developers:
Copyright law, which protects original "works of authorship."
Patent law, which protects new, useful, and "nonobvious" inventions and processes.
Trademark law, which protects words, names, and symbols used by manufacturers to identify their services.
Trade Secret law, which protects valuable information not generally known that has been kept secret by its owner.
Technology transfer involves the strategic transfer of rights in proprietary technologies. The long-term viability of virtually every technology company is determined by how effectively that company protects and leverages its intellectual property. A thorough understanding of both the particular technology at issue in a transaction and the legal framework governing the transfer of rights in that technology is critical to a successful deal.
At Wohlsifer & Associates, P.A. we are well-versed in both intellectual property law and transactional law, which is the language of technology transfer agreements. In addition to representing clients involved in litigation, we negotiate and draft intellectual property-related nondisclosure and license agreements. Mr. Wohlsifer has served as outside counsel for NASCAR for the past ten years and continues to enforce their trademark licensing agreements.
This firm is focused on providing excellent, responsive, innovative and creative legal services.

COMMERCIAL LITIGATION
Almost every aspect of business is impacted by what is generally referred to as "Commercial Litigation" or "Business Litigation." It is difficult or impossible to define the total scope of Commercial Litigation, since the scope of legal involvement of business is virtually limitless, encompassing everything from individuals conducting unilateral preparatory transactions to disputed complex commercial matters involving multiple parties crossing over various areas of law.
The Florida Bar describes "Business Litigation" as "the practice of law dealing with the legal problems arising from commercial and business relationships including litigation of controversies arising from those relationships. In addition to actual pretrial and trial process, 'Business Litigation Law' includes evaluating, handling and resolving such controversies prior to the institution of suit, post-judgment proceedings, and the handling of such controversies before State Courts, Federal Courts, Administrative Agencies, Mediators and Arbitrators. By way of example, but not as a limitation, Business Litigation shall not include any area of practice dealing with personal injury, routine collection matters, marital and family law or worker's compensation."
Please feel free to contact Wohlsifer & Associates, P.A. to discuss your business litigation concerns, whether you deem them to be relatively minor or extremely complex.
