Protecting a company’s intellectual property rights is vital to any business. Nutile Pitz & Associates is experienced in trademark and copyright protection and works closely throughout the registration process with applicable government agencies on both the state and Federal levels. We will communicate with you throughout each stage of what can be a lengthy procedure. Our attorneys have secured copyright and trademarks for numerous clients in a wide range of industries including restaurant, hotel management, software, literature, healthcare, sports and cosmetics.

As important as registering your IP is protecting this proprietary information. Registration puts your competitors on notice that you plan to enforce your rights. Further, our firm can assist you with such enforcement when you are forced to take action to protect valuable IP assets. Protecting your IP assets starts with the appropriate legal instruments and our team is experienced in drafting the necessary confidentiality, non-disclosure and other like agreements based upon your individual circumstances.

Our firm can also assist you in the drafting and negotiation of the sale, transfer or license of your intellectual property. We understand that a company’s IP is a valuable asset and our team can help to place your business in the best possible position when such a transaction arises.

Nutile Pitz & Associates understands the importance of estate planning. Estate planning is a challenging but necessary process for protecting one’s long-term property interests. Our firm can assist you by drafting wills, trusts, durable powers of attorney, and other estate planning documents. While we regularly prepare these documents on a fixed fee basis we will spend the time necessary to review and discuss each client’s individual needs until all questions are adequately answered. Our team understands the importance of giving you the peace of mind that your estate is secure for the future.

Also be assured that while Nutile Pitz & Associates utilizes the assistance of paralegals you will meet with a licensed attorney for planning and review or all documents before execution. We understand the frustration people face when a client hires a firm to provide such personal services only to leave feeling as though they did not get all of their concerns addressed. We strive to make this sometimes difficult process as pleasurable as possible and we believe one way to do this is to make sure each client has the opportunity to meet face-to-face with a licensed professional.
