Own What You Create. Protect What You Build.

Your ideas, your brand, your creative work—these are some of your most valuable business assets. But they’re only protected if you take the right legal steps. At Seattle Legal Advisor, I help entrepreneurs, artists, and business owners in Washington safeguard their intellectual property and build value around it.

Whether you’re launching a business, producing original content, or building a brand, I provide the legal clarity you need to protect what’s yours—and stop others from taking it.

What Counts as Intellectual Property?

Intellectual property (IP) refers to the intangible assets you create: your brand, your creative work, your trade secrets, your reputation. Here’s how the law protects different types of IP:

• Trademarks protect your brand identity—things like your business name, logo, slogan, or product packaging. Registering a trademark gives you exclusive rights to use it and stop others from copying or imitating your brand.

• Copyrights protect original creative works, such as music, writing, photography, film, artwork, website content, and more. Copyright exists automatically when you create the work—but registering it gives you stronger enforcement rights.

• Trade secrets protect your confidential business information—recipes, processes, formulas, or client lists that give you a competitive edge. I help clients put protections in place to keep those assets secure.

• Brands are more than just a logo—they’re the way people recognize and trust your business. I help ensure your branding is legally protected and distinct in the market.

Legal Support for Creatives and Businesses

I help clients proactively protect their IP—and make smart decisions about how to use it. Services include:

• Trademark search, registration, and enforcement

• Copyright registration and licensing

• Cease-and-desist letters and infringement response

• IP clauses in contracts, employment agreements, and collaborations

• Trade secret policies and NDAs

• IP audits for startups, acquisitions, or business sales

Whether you’re an artist building a catalog or a business scaling your brand, I’ll help ensure your IP works for you—not against you.
