Today, intellectual property is no longer an area of law reserved for a few industries directly involved in exploitation of inventors’ ideas and authors’ works. IP issues surround us everywhere.

Do you have a website? Its HTML code, content and images are most likely protected by copyright. Did you create everything yourself? Paying web designers and copywriters to create your website does not mean that you will have a property interest in it. How would it feel if a court ordered you to stop using some of its elements and pay damages?

Have you come up with a great idea? What if that idea went on to make millions… for someone else?

Think you thought of a catchy name for your product or service? Can it be registered as a trademark? What if somebody else had already done it?

Whether it’s about helping my father receive royalties for the use of his music or taking unauthorized translations of Harry Potter off the web; whether it’s about developing an IP strategy for a startup or localizing license agreements for Apple; whether it’s about destroying thousands of counterfeit Lee and Wrangler jeans or obtaining transfer of a domain name confusingly similar to a registered trademark; whether it’s about helping a software company overcome the consequences of a poorly written contract with the developers or helping a film director prevent mutilation of his work by producers – I strive to achieve excellence on each file that I accept. This does not mean perfection at an unreasonable cost. My goal is to overdeliver in the context that is justifiable by the economics of the case.

I am Andrei Mincov, a copyright and trademarks lawyer with over 15 years of international experience and the founder of Mincov Law Corporation.
