Our Intellectual Property Services

Trademark Searches & Registration: We conduct comprehensive trademark searches to ensure your brand name, logo, or slogan is clear for use, then handle all aspects of federal trademark registration with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO). From preparing your application to responding to USPTO actions, we work to secure your mark and establish your brand’s nationwide protection.
Trademark Enforcement & Defense: If someone is infringing on your trademark or accusing you of infringement, we provide aggressive legal support. Our services include drafting cease-and-desist letters, negotiating settlements, and litigating trademark disputes when necessary. We help enforce your rights against unauthorized use of your brand and defend you if a conflict arises, all while aiming to protect your business’s reputation.
Copyright Registration & Protection: We assist artists, musicians, authors, and businesses in registering copyrights with the U.S. Copyright Office to protect original works of authorship. Whether it’s music, books, articles, visual art, or software, we ensure your creative works are officially documented and protected under copyright law.
Copyright Infringement Resolution: When your original work is used without permission or if you’re facing a copyright claim, our firm is ready to help. We take action against unauthorized use of your content through cease-and-desist notices and DMCA takedown requests for online infringement. If needed, we are prepared to pursue or defend against copyright infringement lawsuits to safeguard your rights.
IP Contracts & Licensing: Protecting your intellectual property often involves licensing and contracts. We draft and review licensing agreements, work-for-hire contracts, non-disclosure agreements (NDAs), and assignment agreements to help you monetize or share your IP safely. Our goal is to ensure you maintain control over how others use your trademarks and copyrighted material.
Strategic IP Consultation: Intellectual property strategy is key to long-term success. We offer consulting on IP portfolio management, brand protection strategies, and best practices for securing your intellectual assets. From startups building a brand to established companies expanding their product lines, we provide guidance tailored to your needs.

Please note: We focus exclusively on trademark and copyright law and do not handle patent matters. By concentrating on these areas of intellectual property, we offer specialized expertise to effectively address your trademark and copyright concerns.

Trademark Law – Protecting Your Brand

Trademarks are critical for distinguishing your business’s goods or services in the marketplace. Our firm helps you protect your brand identity from the ground up. As your Nashville trademark attorney, we will guide you through selecting strong trademarks and securing federal registration. We handle trademark applications with care, conducting thorough searches and preparing the required filings to increase the likelihood of approval.

Once your trademark is registered, we continue to support you in policing and enforcing your rights. From monitoring for potential infringements to taking legal action against unauthorized use, we ensure your name, logo, or tagline remains uniquely yours. We also advise on proper trademark usage and maintenance so that your brand’s protection stays robust over time. If you ever find yourself in a dispute — for example, another company using a confusingly similar name — our firm is prepared to assert your rights or defend your interests. With our local presence in Nashville and experience in federal trademark law, you can trust us to protect your brand both locally and across the country.

Copyright Law – Protecting Creative Works

Copyright law safeguards the original creative works you or your business produce, from music compositions and literary manuscripts to photographs, and films. At The Law Office of Will McSeveney, we understand the importance of these creations — especially in Music City’s rich creative community. Our copyright law services are designed to help creators and content owners secure their rights and prevent others from exploiting their work without permission.

We assist clients in copyright registration, which establishes a public record of your ownership and is often a prerequisite to enforcing your rights in court. Our firm will prepare and file your copyright applications, ensuring that your songs, writings, artwork, or other works are properly registered with the U.S. Copyright Office. In addition to registration, we counsel you on how to mark and publish your works to maximize protection (for example, using © notices and adhering to best practices).

If your copyrighted material has been infringed — such as someone copying your writing or distributing your music without a license — we act swiftly to resolve the issue. We can send cease-and-desist letters to demand that the infringement stop immediately, and utilize Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) procedures to take down unauthorized online content. Should the conflict escalate, we are prepared to represent you in negotiations or litigation to enforce your rights and seek damages for unauthorized use. Likewise, if you are accused of copyright infringement, our firm will analyze the claim, advise you on defenses (such as fair use or licensing issues), and defend your case. Our goal is to protect your creative endeavors so you can continue to innovate and create with peace of mind.
