I am excited to announce that my firm is adopting a number of new options for working with our clients. We received feedback asking for new fixed rate and subscription packages for specific business scenarios, and in response to that feedback we have designed a variety of new packages designed around those requests. These options now can be viewed online at The Prinz Law Office’s Fixed Rate & Subscription Packages. Existing clients who are working with us already under another billing arrangement will be able to switch to a new plan at any time upon request. I am confident that these new options will address new business needs of the technology and life sciences communities we serve. If you have an idea for a billing arrangement that the firm has not yet developed, we invite you to submit your ideas for consideration at kprinz@prinzlawoffice.com.

This program was created to educate small businesses on what types of intellectual property they may have in their business and some of the issues that they need to be aware of.  Program highlights include explaining what constitutes a copyrightable work, common copyright issues that arise for small businesses, how to ensure that you own the rights in design materials that you have developed, and  how to protect your business ideas and plans.  The program is primarily intended for business owners who have a “low tech” business and are not regularly dealing with intellectual property issues in their company,  so no prior knowledge of intellectual property is assumed.
