Trademarks, Copyrights, and Intellectual Property Protection

Whether you have a distinct brand or you have created a work of art, your intellectual property is an essential part of your business. Federal or state registration provides notice to the world that you own your intellectual property. Registration can also allow you to collect certain damages if someone uses your intellectual property without your permission. Megan worked with the inaugural USPTO-certified Wake Forest Intellectual Property Law Clinic during her last year of law school. Through the clinic, she analyzed the potential federal registration of several trademarks, submitted federal trademark applications, and advised clients on multiple copyright issues. After passing the bar, Megan served as an Intellectual Property Law Clerk for a Series A startup company and assisted in trademark and copyright research.
