Intellectual Property
Protecting What You've Built
Your brand name, your creative work, and the agreements that govern how your intellectual property gets used are real business assets. Protecting them takes more than good intentions. It takes the right registrations, the right contracts, and attorneys who understand what you are protecting and why it matters. Hassan + Cables handles trademark, copyright, and licensing work for businesses and entrepreneurs.
We do not handle patents. We focus on what we know well and where we can genuinely help.
Trademark
​We handle USPTO trademark matters from clearance through registration, including search, application preparation, responding to office actions, and monitoring registered marks. For companies building a brand, registration is what gives you the legal standing to protect what you have built if someone else tries to use it. Trademark work often arises as part of a broader business relationship at Hassan + Cables, including entity formation, licensing deals, and acquisitions.
Copyright
Copyright attaches automatically, but formal registration matters. It creates the ability to pursue statutory damages and recover attorney fees in infringement cases. We advise on copyright ownership, registration, work-for-hire arrangements, and how to structure agreements that make clear who owns what when creative work is being produced by contractors, employees, or partners.
Licensing
Licensing agreements govern how your intellectual property gets used, by whom, on what terms, and what happens when the relationship ends. We draft and negotiate licensing agreements across a range of contexts, including software licenses, brand licensing, joint development agreements, and IP provisions within broader commercial contracts.
​
Employment Agreement IP Protections
Protecting intellectual property also means addressing it in employment and contractor agreements. We draft non-disclosure agreements, proprietary information and invention assignment agreements, and restrictive covenant provisions that comply with current law. Colorado has significantly tightened its rules on non-compete and non-solicitation enforcement. Companies whose existing agreements were drafted under older standards may have provisions that will not hold up. Hassan + Cables finds and fixes those.
If you need assistance protecting a brand, registering a trademark, negotiating a license agreement, or addressing intellectual property concerns, contact Hassan + Cables to discuss your objectives.
