A Review Of Attorney Gary P. Price And Lewis & Kappes Law Firm

Talk about 'property' and the first connection you are likely to make is 'real estate,' such as a house, a farmland, or a commercial building, that you can actually touch, feel, and live in. An intellectual property (IP) refers to something entirely different. Any idea that takes on a form and later finds expressions as a film, a book, a TV show, a game, or anything else that people play, watch, read, and recognize can be classified as IP. Trademarks, copyrights, trade secrets, patents, literature, music, and art are all intellectual properties. To put it simply, IP is a creation of imagination over which a corporation or an individual enjoys legal monopoly.

Incidentally, the term 'intellectual property' is also used to refer to those laws protecting such monopolies. These laws have been designed to uphold the rights of the owner of an IP. Cases related to violation of these laws can be quite complicated. For this reason, it is important to hire an experienced legal professional. This article reviews attorney Gary P. Price, who serves in the Lewis & Kappes law firm as a director in the intellectual property team and specializes in civil litigation, intellectual property, appeals, and mediation. A registered mediator, Mr. Price has vast experience in handling cases ranging from commercial litigation, personal injury, and premises liability to civil rights claims, anti-trust, and copyright infringement.
