Pioneering solutions for small businesses and entrepreneurs
Buffalo is often thought of as a small city, but in many ways it is more metropolitan than its size suggests. We have many more cultural and civic amenities than most cities our size.
Interestingly, there are many groundbreaking inventions that came from Buffalo, For example, the air conditioner, the pacemaker, and the grain elevator were all invented here. In 1881, because of our proximity to Niagara Falls, Buffalo was the first city in the U.S. to have electrically-powered streetlights.

Areas of Practice
Patents
A patent provides exclusive rights to the inventor of an invention to prevent others from making, using, selling, or distributing the patented invention without permission. The exclusive rights are limited to twenty years from the filing date of the patent application. In exchange for the exclusive rights of a patent, the inventor provides public disclosure of an invention that has usefulness, has novelty, and is inventive (or not obvious).
Licensing
A business or individual would require a licensing agreement, in order to authorize another entity to legally access and use their intellectual property.
Trademarks
Trademarks are used by businesses as a means to sell goods and services. For many businesses, trademarks are critical to their success. A trademark is used to distinguish the goods and services of one business from those of another business. In addition, a trademark serves to identify the source of the goods and services. The theory behind trademark law is to prevent consumer confusion in the marketplace.

Copyrights
A copyright provides exclusive rights to an author of an original work to copy, publish, distribute, adapt, perform, and display the original work. Works that are eligible for copyright protection include books, songs, dances, computer programs, movies, sculptures, and paintings. While copyright does not protect ideas, it will protect the expression of ideas.
Intellectual Property Portfolio Management
Intellectual property can be thought of as protecting ideas and other products of the mind. Intellectual property provides a set of exclusive rights to an individual who has produced an intangible asset. In this way, intellectual property is less tangible than real property that has a geographical location with definite boundaries.
