If you have a current or potential patent, you understand that it is an asset that needs protection. Patents (exclusive rights to make, use, import, sell an invention) and trademarks (protection of words, names, symbols, sounds, or colors) have been around for ages, but in this age of technology, are becoming more valuable and the need for protection continues to be great.
