Justia Legal Services & Lawyers Directory

I advise on a broad range of copyright trademark, licensing, trade secret, right of publicity, privacy, corporate transactional and litigation matters. Prior to opening my firm, I worked on intellectual property and general corporate issues at an academic publishing house. I also clerked with Chief Judge Khalida Rachid Kahn at the United Nations International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda. Before I entered law, I performed bass and taught music.

Hi, and thank you for visiting my Justia profile. My name is Glenn Gold and together with my partner John Rizvi we founded "The Idea Attorneys", a leading Patent and Trademark Legal Practice.

Did you know that approximately 75% of American publicly traded companies worth lays in intangible assets.

Intellectual Property accounts for a massive $5 Trillion, larger than any other economy in the world. It is the fastest way to wealth that exists today. It is also one of the mainstays of the American Dream and it is even mentioned in Article 1 of the constitution:

"To promote the progress of science and the useful arts, by securing for limited times to authors and inventors the exclusive right to their respective writings and discoveries"

The USA is the major global center for Intellectual Property and a springboard for any invention that is worth its salt. No matter where you are, if you want to register your Intellectual Property rights you will need support from a knowledgeable firm that understands the key drivers behind this complex discipline.

Conversely if your patent, trademark or copyright comes under attack you would want the best protection possible. It is the ability to protect Intellectual Property that has made our country so attractive for business and here at The Idea Attorneys we have made it our mission to be the best at what we do across all segments of the Patent, Trademark and Copyright sphere.

Failing at even one of the many parts that comprise a successful Intellectual Property case is calamitous, which is why we have concentrated all our knowledge and experience on this specialized area. Quite simply, we have decided to excel in one field and, and as our clients will testify, have had notable success.

Intellectual Property is one the most complex legal areas.

These are some of the milestones you need to reach before securing a patent:

1. Conduct research to ensure that your idea isn't already registered (it is recommended that this done manually as it is more reliable).
2. Produce a specialist report that will detail any conflicting claims.
3. Apply for Intellectual Property protection, of which there are six types- Provisional, Utility, Design, Plant, Re-issue and Defensive Publication (a good lawyer will be able to advise on which one is best for you).
4. It is an uncommon occurrence for the patent to be accepted the first time. There can be up to two applications, and even if the second application is turned down there are a number of possibilities open to the inventor, such as a re-filing the application, a continuation in part application or a full appeal.

If you have an idea which you would like to patent or trademark we would like to hear from you. Alternatively if your existing Intellectual Property is threatened we will provide the best protection there is.

Our headquarters are in Ft Lauderdale, Florida, and we also have two Patent offices in Las Vegas, Nevada and New York City. With the advent of the internet and digital technology it is no longer necessary to come and see us in person - we provide services to companies all over the world.
