Contacting an Atlanta infringment of intellectual property rights attorney is the most important step in understanding the nature of intellectual property rights. When an enterprise uses the intellectual property of another without authorization, whether it be a newspaper text, music piece, computer program, or invention, it is stealing the originator's right to his or her intellectual property. Such an offense is just as grave as stealing physical property. Intellectual property rights ("IP rights") can be created by copyright, trademark, service mark, patent, or licensing contract. Sometimes a business's intellectual property is worth more than its physical property. In this case, the experience of a good Atlanta intellectual property rights attorney is essential in protecting the rights of a business who has been wronged.

       Many remedies are available with the help of a good IP litigation attorney. If you or your business has suffered an infringement of intellectual property rights, you may be granted an injunction stopping and preventing any further infringement. Furthermore, courts can order allegedly infringing items or articles impounded while the action is pending and destroyed or subject to other disposition if it finds there is an infringement. An infringer can be liable for actual damages plus profits of the infringer and statutory damages. An infringer could also be held liable for injury to business reputation, lost profits, or the dilution in the value of the copyright, patent, or trademark.
