Protection duration varies by Intellectual Property type. Patents generally last 20 years from filing, trademarks can last indefinitely with proper maintenance, and copyrights extend for the author’s life plus 70 years. However, effective protection requires active monitoring and enforcement which our Fresno attorneys provide as part of our comprehensive Intellectual Property services.

Global protection requires strategic planning. For Fresno businesses expanding internationally, especially in agricultural technology and food products, we develop comprehensive international Intellectual Property strategies using treaties like the Madrid Protocol for trademarks and the Patent Cooperation Treaty for inventions, always tailored to your specific markets and business goals.
What is the difference between a patent, trademark, and copyright?
These protect different types of intellectual property. Patents protect inventions and functional improvements. Trademarks protect brands, logos, and slogans that identify your business. Copyrights protect creative works like content, software, and artistic creations. Many Fresno businesses need multiple forms of protection to fully secure their intellectual assets.
