When a contract is breached or a lawsuit is filed, the word “damages” can mean several different things.

Compensatory damages are meant to repay someone for an actual loss. Consequential damages may cover additional losses that result from the breach. Liquidated damages are amounts the parties agreed on in advance in the contract. Punitive damages are different, they are intended to punish especially wrongful conduct and are only available in certain cases.

Understanding the type of damages that may apply can be just as important as determining whether a claim exists in the first place.

Legal jargon can be confusing. Words used in court often have very specific meanings that may be different from their everyday use.

Misunderstanding a legal term can affect deadlines, arguments, and even the outcome of a case. That is one more reason why having an attorney can be important when you are involved in a court proceeding.

Understanding the law also means understanding the language of the law.

There is no minimum percentage or amount of contribution required to qualify as a co-inventor on a patent.

What matters is the nature of the contribution. A co-inventor must make a material contribution to the conception of at least one claimed inventive feature. Simply assisting with testing, manufacturing, or following another inventor’s instructions is generally not enough.

Inventorship is based on contribution to the invention—not how much time, money, or effort each person contributed.

A lawsuit typically begins with a complaint, which sets out the claims and must be properly served on the other side.

Once the defendant responds, the case usually moves into discovery. This is the stage where both sides exchange documents, gather evidence, take depositions, and learn more about the facts of the case.

After discovery, many cases are resolved through settlement. If the parties cannot reach an agreement, the case may proceed to trial.

Understanding these basic stages can make the litigation process feel a lot less confusing.

A patent application can often be strengthened after the initial filing through a continuation application.

A continuation allows an applicant to pursue additional or differently focused claims based on the original disclosure—helping protect important aspects of an invention as the business or strategy evolves.

Trademark registration matters more than ever in today’s digital world.

Why? Because third-party platforms—like e-commerce marketplaces and social media sites—often look to the trademark registration to determine who actually owns a brand.

If someone is using your name, logo, or brand without permission, having a registered trademark can make it much easier to show the platform that you are the rightful owner and ask that the unauthorized use be removed.

A strong brand is worth protecting. And in the digital marketplace, a trademark registration can be one of the most important tools for doing that.

You do not need a working prototype to file a patent application.
This is a common misconception among inventors and entrepreneurs. Patent protection is generally based on the invention as described in the application—not on whether you have already built a physical product. What matters is whether the invention can be described in enough detail to show how it works and how someone skilled in the relevant field could make and use it. That means an inventor may be able to pursue patent protection while the idea is still in the design, engineering, or development stage. In many cases, filing before building can also be strategically important, especially before publicly disclosing, marketing, selling, or presenting the invention. A prototype can certainly be helpful—but it is not a prerequisite to seeking patent protection.

Placing your home into a trust? Remember to notify your homeowner’s insurance carrier and ask that the trust be added as an additional insured. This simple step can help avoid potential coverage issues.

Not every trademark application gets approved.

The USPTO may reject an application because the mark is too similar to an existing registration. A mark may also be refused if it merely describes the goods or services being offered, or if it is simply a generic name for them.

A trademark search and legal review before filing can help identify these issues early and improve your chances of registration.
