    Our business practice is focused on the uniqueness of each company and on providing owners with the type of resources necessary to grow to the next level. We generally serve as outside general counsel to our clients, even our smallest clients!  Our holistic approach is important to all businesses.     

    Recently we have worked with clients dealing with commercial leases, distribution agreements, licensing issues, contractual disputes, internet-based sales tax lawsuits, international services agreements, web developer agreements and creating website content for e-commerce businesses.

    Hurley Stanners, LLC is excited to add an IP practice to its current legal service offerings. The Hurley Stanners' IP Department has over thirteen years of exeprience counseling clients, on any and all IP issues arising in the US and abroad, including patents, trademarks, copyrights, trade secrets and unfair competition. We advise our business clients on how patents and trademarks can set a client apart from the competition, and how an IP portfolio can protect and add to clients assets, as well as provide additional revenue for some businesses. 

    Our technical experience ranges from medical devices and chemical combinations to electrical and mechnical inventions. Our engineers and attorneys also have experience in buisness methods, computer processes, aeronautics and telecommunications. 

    In conjunction with helping clients acquire addtional intellectual property, we help clients license and enforce their IP in this competitive environment. We believe that the strongest IP portfolio is one that can also generate an income for the client. As an additonal service, we monitor and analyze the IP that competitors may have, and utilize on-staff and third - party engineers to help design around identified IP problems, or negotiate license agreements, when appropriate. 

    For our business, real estate and  entertainment clients , our new IP Department will also help protect the client's brand for the business, a product or a service  through  the registration of trademarks. We can advise the best approach to take to afford the client's goals. Here our understanding of a client's business and goals  through our day to day representation will allow us to provide a strategic approach to trademarking.
