  • TRADEMARK LAW
    Protecting brand names, symbols, and services requires trademark registration. Our intellectual property attorneys help companies clear and register a trademark and vigorously defend it in both the physical and virtual marketplace, including trade dress and trade secrets.
  • COPYRIGHT LAW
    Original creative works, from songs to software, need copyright protection. ST&A registers client copyrights and counsels our clients on contracts, licensing, and copyright infringement claims.
  • TRADE SECRETS
    Identifying, and protecting your company’s valuable, proprietary, and confidential information from misappropriation by competitors.
  • UNFAIR COMPETITION
    Protect your company’s economic, intellectual, and creative investments from the fraudulent, deceptive, and dishonest trade practices of competitors.

Successfully defining and defending copyrights, trademarks, and patents on the cutting edge of technological advancement takes ingenuity and insight. Call Skelton Taintor & Abbott at 207.784.3200 for an initial consultation.
