Legal Services Offered by Our On-Demand Austin Intellectual Property Attorneys
Our Austin intellectual property attorneys & lawyers can help you secure and protect your company-s intellectual property. Whether you are an entrepreneur, artist, author, engineer, manager, or individual - the IP attorneys on UpCounsel have you covered.
There are four common areas of intellectual property, which all protect different things such as: copyrights, trademarks, patents, and trade secrets. Additionally, licensing is a popular enough specialization of IP that warrants mentioning.
Our Austin IP attorneys that specialize in licensing can help you draft contracts that grant permission to another party to do something with an otherwise protected work or product. A license can grant the right to reproduce the work by: distributed copy of the work to others by rental, sale, or lease, or preparing derivative works using protected expression from the original work, and/or displaying the work.

Texas Attorney Needed to Finalize Consulting MSA and SOW
"I worked with Steven on a consulting agreement and statement of work for my practice advising tech startups. His intake questionnaire was one of the most thorough I’ve encountered. It covered every area we needed to address up front, which saved significant time and helped him tailor the agreement to the way my business operates. Steven moved quickly, incorporated my input precisely, and delivered exactly what I needed under a tight deadline. He also gave me clear, practical guidance on signing, future scope changes, and issues to consider with other clients. I was impressed by both the quality of his work and how efficiently he got us to the finish line. I’d gladly work with him again."

Contract Review for Media Production Services in Texas
"Ms. Endo provided excellent, knowledgeable service. Her initial response times were very fast however she lost points due to the platform having e-mail delivery issues of messages. When I had follow up questions, she thoroughly and promptly answered them. She also quickly, proactively altered the content of the contract when I inquired about a situational variable which could affect the agreement between the parties of the contract. When the need arises, I will happily request Ms. Endo's services again."

She helped strengthen key areas like liability separation, payment structure, and non-circumvention while keeping everything clean and aligned with how the business actually operates. Very professional, responsive, and easy to work with. I’d definitely recommend her."
