Intellectual Property and Patent Services by LPO

Patent : A patent for an invention is the grant of a property right to the inventor, issued by the Patent and Trademark Office. The term of a new patent is 20 years from the date on which the application for the patent was filed in the United States or, in special cases, from the date an earlier related application was filed, subject to the payment of maintenance fees. US patent grants are effective only within the US, US territories, and US possessions.

Trademark : A trademark is a word, name, symbol or device which is used in trade with goods to indicate the source of the goods and to distinguish them from the goods of others. A servicemark is the same as a trademark except that it identifies and distinguishes the source of a service rather than a product. The terms "trademark" and "mark" are commonly used to refer to both trademarks and servicemarks.

Copyright : Copyright is a form of protection provided to the authors of “original works of authorship” including literary, dramatic, musical, artistic, and certain other intellectual works, both published and unpublished. The 1976 Copyright Act generally gives the owner of copyright the exclusive right to reproduce the copyrighted work, to prepare derivative works, to distribute copies or phonorecords of the copyrighted work, to perform the copyrighted work publicly, or to display the copyrighted work publicly.

Bankruptcy Petitions

The attorneys at LPO have been extensively trained for preparing detailed petitions on Chapter 7 (liquidation of assets), Chapter 11 (company or individual "reorganizations"), and Chapter 13 (debt repayment with lowered debt covenants or payment plans). Outsourcing to LPO allows client’s to focus on other projects and study new areas of law.

LPO is the Law Firm which is the most appreciated worldwide or at least we like to think so, when clients come to an attorney seeking debt relief, they want someone who will be immediate into their actions and assure them that they have rights. With clients, attorneys, values and traditions, the Firm holds a place of its own in most directories of legal enterprises. Count on us for that level of representation. We immediately get to work on gathering the facts and unique aspects of your Chapter 7 or Chapter 13 bankruptcy filing.

Bankruptcy Petitions and Schedules :
1. The bankruptcy petition service fails to include all eligible debts. This leads to certain unsecured liabilities not being written-off and collection agency pursuance for the outstanding balance following discharge.
2. Failure to fill in the appropriate forms to stop foreclosure. Even if the client is able to find enough money to make a contribution towards clearing any outstanding arrears, it will be too late to save the property. It will be repossessed and sold for fair market value at auction.
3 Not reaffirming secured debts, such as car loans, leads to any collateral being repossessed. It will then be far more expensive to get a loan to buy a car with bad credit which could lead to affordability issues in the future.
4. Clients being advised to file bankruptcy when their debts aren't eligible for inclusion, such as attempting to eliminate student loan debt. This simply leads to chapter 7 bankruptcy showing on a credit report for the next 10-years without any benefit to the client.
5. Listing exempt assets as non-exempt assets when filing bankruptcy. These assets will then needlessly be sold and the proceeds disseminated to creditors.

Filing for Bankruptcy is a big decision, Sometimes it is beneficial to people to file for bankruptcy and for others it's not. Before you make any decision I highly suggest you read more about bankruptcy. Find out as much as you can about bankruptcy before you make any decisions.
