Mark My Words®
MB Gorman Law LLC provides legal services for the creative side of intellectual property. Maureen advises clients who protect their ingenuity globally through trademark, copyright, domain name, and trade secret laws.
​
Brand Protection Strategy
From federal trademark applications to national applications in US territories, from trademark assignments to exclusive licensee agreements, from Pakistan to Colorado, from Iran to Florida, the Internet has made trademark law a global consideration, even for small businesses, and Maureen has managed the gamut of trademark legal issues with an established network of exemplary foreign counsel in more than 100 countries worldwide.
Content and Creativity Legal Counseling
From photographs to blogger comments, from event releases to "work made for hire" vendor contracts, from foreign copyright assignments to confirmatory license agreements, from public works of art to privacy and publicity rights, the Internet has made copyright law an important part of business planning and execution and Maureen has "been there and done that."
CyberLaw Enforcement
Whether one of the first precedential UDRP decisions, explaining as a member of one of the first all female trademark litigation teams the intersection of US bankruptcy and trademark laws, asserting one of the first civil claims under the Illinois' Anti-Phishing Act, or developing as a member of a worldwide team the first legally meaningful understanding of "typosquatting," the "Dark Web," "copycat websites," and "take downs," the Internet has created an environment ripe for fraud and Maureen has been one of the early trailblazers in CyberLaw, protecting businesses and their consumers from the the myriad of fraudulent activity on the World Wide Web.
Advertising, Marketing and General Counseling
What do metatags, keywords, YouTube videos, Twitter hashtags, the FTC, the USPTO, "lawful use," substantiated "claims," "Green Guides," "California's Environmental Marketing Claims Law," social media, print catalogs, "pop up" stores, trade shows, motion marks, and sync advertising have in common? They all are pieces in the advertising puzzle. Maureen can help you wade through the advertising legal morass and avoid common pitfalls.
