Intellectual property law encompasses all legal matters related to patents, trademarks, copyrights, and trade secrets. In the U.S., particularly in innovation-driven markets like California, protecting your intellectual property assets and preserving their value is crucial. While intellectual property law is federal in the U.S., California also provides state-level protections, such as trademark registration. For industries that may not be legal at the federal level but are permitted in California (e.g., cannabis), intellectual property protections can at least be secured within the state.
