Intellectual Property Counseling & Prosecution

Saavedra Morell Law represents both local and foreign clients in intellectual property matters such as trademark and copyright prosecution, be it individuals to multinational law firms requiring outsourcing services to assist them with their clients’ trademarks and copyrights needs in both Puerto Rico and the United States.

  • Trademark prosecution: We assist our clients each step of the way to make sure that they can make the best decisions at every phase of the trademark process. This means helping them develop either a trademark, service mark, or tradename, performing trademark knockout searches, thinking ahead to identify and avoid potential infringements, and obtaining clearance and proper licensing of a mark if necessary. Our experience allows us to evaluate which jurisdiction would better suit seeking protection properly. Also, we provide other trademark transaction and counseling services such as:
    • Preparing trademark opinions and filing, prosecuting, and maintaining trademark applications and registrations in the Puerto Rico Trademark Office (PRTO) and the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).
  • Copyright Transactions and Counseling: We assist our clients to protect and enforce their copyright needs related to literary works, musical works, dramatic works, pantomimes and choreographic works, pictorial, graphic, and sculptural works, motion pictures and other audiovisual works, sound recordings, or compilations. We take the time to carefully review and appraise the value of the material provided by our clients. And, if determined necessary, proceed with the filing and prosecution of copyright registration in both the US Copyright Office and the Puerto Rico Intellectual Property Office under the Puerto Rico Intellectual Property Act.
