Attorneys In This Practice Area

Whitfield & Eddy attorneys advise and counsel clients on a variety of intellectual property matters.  Whitfield & Eddy’s emerging intellectual property practice complements the firm’s traditional areas of practice. Our attorneys are prepared to assist clients in protecting their intellectual property portfolios, including trade secrets, trademarks, copyrights and patents.  (Note: Whitfield & Eddy does not have an attorney licensed to prosecute patents.  Whitfield & Eddy can make a referral to patent law attorneys in appropriate cases.)  Our corporate and business attorneys work with clients to optimize the value of their intellectual property portfolios as they plan their businesses, while our litigation attorneys are ready to protect clients’ intellectual property rights against infringement.

While Des Moines, Iowa, is not known as an entertainment center, it is the home of, and home to, many successful (and emerging) artists, authors, musicians, and filmmakers.  Where there is artistic creation or an engagement, there is a need for legal services, and Whitfield & Eddy’s attorneys are prepared to advise and counsel clients in the entertainment industry.  Our attorneys provide a wide range of services from protecting clients’ creations to setting up their businesses.  The firm’s clients include musicians, film-makers, recording companies and publishers.
