Intellectual property

The firm Kimbrough & Associés has had, since its inception, an intellectual property practice, aware of the growing personal and economic value that these rights represent both for individuals and for professionals.

Our firm has a particular expertise in the area of protection of literary and artistic works, providing advice as well as representation before the courts. Our clients include not only authors and performers, their successors-in-interest and associations which represent them, but also those exploiting works, in particular, production companies and publishers.

Our firm is experienced in providing advice and representation in legal proceedings in matters involving industrial property, such as patents, trademarks and know-how, in the context of transactions and litigation, mergers and acquisitions or contract negotiation and drafting. We work in close cooperation with engineers and other industrial property specialists.

Our firm participates, in transactions focusing on computer technology, including security programs involving encryption, in negotiations and drafting of licenses, distribution agreements and joint ventures, in diverse industries.

As part of our firm's activity in the area of new technologies, we provide advice and assistance in relation to the full spectrum of internet issues, from the creation of start-ups through contract assistance.
