Intellectual Property & Valuation in McLean VA

Looking for an Intellectual Property Lawyer in McLean?

Argent Place Law aims to help you use the law to create a higher valuation for your business in McLean. A business’s valuation is largely assumed to be tied up in the historical revenue and profits of the company. That means the business’s products and services must be recognizable in the markets, in demand, defensible from competition, and have high margins.

The best way to increase the value in your company is to establish a culture of generating useful ideas and taking the legal steps to convert those ideas to protected intellectual property. You and your employees may invent useful tools, design innovative internal processes to become more efficient or more effective, draft memorable sayings that are useful in marketing campaigns, write content that turn your company into a thought leadership role, and more. These are all examples of protectable ideas. Protected ideas lead to new products and services, more efficiency and better profitability, expanding influence, and increased brand awareness, all while keeping competitors at bay.

Unprotected ideas are free for everyone to use. But if you take the proper steps to protect the ideas that form the basis of your competitive advantage, you will be freer to exploit your ideas and build greater wealth. The area of law that protects ideas is called “Intellectual Property,” and it includes the subdivisions of Patents, Trademarks, Copyrights, and Trade Secrets.
