• http://intellectual-property.legalhelp.org/
• Intellectual Property Law is an area of law that is focused on who has the rights to and who owns different kinds of intangible assets. Copyrights, trademarks, and patents are all considered intellectual property. Copyrights, trademarks, and patents may apply to books, songs, artistic works, or inventions.

• With the America Invents Act of 2011 having been passed last year, the United States has moved from a first to invent to a first to file system. This means that if you file your invention first, it is legally your intellectual property, even if someone else may have had the idea before you.

• A chartered patent attorney will be able to advise you on the best way of exploiting an invention's commercial potential and can also guide you through the application process for patents and registered designs. Trade mark attorneys can advise you on design issues as well as trade marks - which could form an important part of the commercial viability of your invention.
