Intellectual Property
Nothing is more valuable in the Information Age than your ideas. The law can protect your ideas--with patents, copyrights, trademarks, and trade secrets--but you must know which to use, when, and why. Do not waste your time or money, and do not put your ideas at risk.
-
Online Enforcement
Copernicus Law is a leader in this burgeoning field enforcing your rights and protecting your ideas online. These new venues of dispute resolution often bring about your most economical solutions. Again, you must know which tools are available and which are the best to use
-
Litigation
Often a last resort, a strong litigation position serves as a baseline of what to expect in a dispute. From this baseline, we help you negotiate for the most profitable solution. If negotiation is unavailable, then we lift your baseline to the maximum possible position.

Testimonials
“As a quick-growing, start-up company - we found ourselves in need of legal advice on a variety of matters both large and small. Not knowing where to look, we began sifting through the countless options out there, hoping to find the perfect attorney for us. I'm relieved to say we found Zachary. Thanks to his attentiveness, availability, breadth of knowledge, and professionalism we were able to quickly address all the issues facing us, and focus on growing our business. We now feel confident and prepared to face any issues that may await us in the future.
Finding a great attorney is as rare as finding a great car mechanic - the value of someone you can trust to give you honest, intelligent, and accurate advice is inestimable. We consider Zachary an extremely valuable asset to our company, and wouldn't hesitate to recommend him to anyone.”
— David Crennen, CEO, Dungeon In A Box
“Before working with Zachary I was always left feeling like my attorneys didn’t value my time or the little money we had (start-up life you know!). After hiring Zachary, all those fears about being mis-understood, having no one care about how their work impacted our bottom line, and feeling like we couldn’t get legal counsel to actually provide counsel melted away. We have complete confidence in Zachary and trust his advice implicitly. Since hiring him, we have saved thousands of dollars and established creative ways to protect our IP.”
