Henderson, Franklin, Starnes & Holt, P.A., is pleased to announce the launch of its Intellectual Property (“IP”) Group to help clients protect their ideas, brands and technologies. Attorney Mark Nieds will serve as IP Group Chair.

The IP Group advises clients on matters relating to the identification, protection, enforcement, and monetization of IP assets including trademarks, copyrights, patents and trade secrets.

Their varied client base ranges from individuals, engineers and inventors to closely-held businesses and large corporations in the construction, finance, food and beverage, healthcare, manufacturing, marketing, media and entertainment, and pharmaceutical industries.

“Protecting a company’s intellectual property is crucial to its success.
