About Bullock Law

Patent Attorney Stephen Bullock formed Bullock Law to protect the intellectual property interests of businesses, engineers and inventors. In particular, Bullock Law focuses its practice on patent protection for technology and innovation.

PATENT PROTECTION FOR SOFTWARE

Mr. Bullock's technical background is in computer science and his legal background is in litigation. Therefore, Bullock Law focuses a large portion of its practice on software patents. In order to obtain a software patent, a patent attorney must be well versed in the legal landscape that has evolved over the past few years. A patent lawyer must also be familiar with software and computer science to argue the nuances of the computer software innovation to the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO). Patent Attorney Stephen Bullock is versed in both the current state of the law surrounding software patents as well as the United States Patent and Trademark Office's practice regarding issuing software patents.

PATENT PROTECTION FOR TECHNOLOGY

Mr. Bullock began his legal career as a trial attorney representing physicians and medical facilities in litigation. His career evolved to include assisting medical professionals with patent protection for their medical devices. Furthermore, Bullock Law's practice includes patent protection in electrical engineering such as LED technology, patent protection for mechanical engineering including hand and power tools as well as articles of manufacture, patent protection for civil engineering for smart homes, plumbing and metropolitan infrastructure, and patent protection for computer engineering including computer networks, artificial intelligence, and PCB design. Bullock Law is also well versed in patent protection for a broad spectrum of other technology areas.

How is a Patent Attorney different than a regular attorney

Therefore, less than 1% of all attorneys are registered patent attorneys.

What is Intellectual Property

Intellectual property, sometimes referred to as IP, can be categorized in the United States as Patents, Trademarks, Copyrights, and to an extent Trade Secrets. Generally speaking, intellectual property is a creation of human intellect that when placed in a tangible medium bestows upon the owner legal ownership rights to the intellectual property. This can result in a legal monopoly over the creation for a period of time. Like real property such as land, intellectual property can be bought, sold, leased and valued accordingly. Hiring an intellectual property attorney to assist with defining and protecting your intellectual property is important. If you are interested in hiring a quality intellectual property lawyer, contact Bullock Law to speak with an experienced IP attorney who can help.

What is the difference between a patent, a trademark, and a copyright

Patent
A patent gives the inventor of a product or process the right to exclude others from making, selling, or using their invention during the life of the patent. It amounts to a legal monopoly of the claimed invention during that timeframe.

Trademark
A trademark is a word, phrase, symbol, or design used by a person or business in commerce to distinguish their goods or services from others within the marketplace. Trademarks may be registered with the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO). Bullock Law can assist by providing a quality trademark lawyer or trademark attorney to meet your needs.

Copyright
A copyright protects original literary, dramatic, musical, and artistic works such as poetry, novels, movies, songs, paintings, and architecture. A copyright protects only the artistic features of a work and does not protect underlying facts, ideas, or systems. A copyright may be registered with the U.S. Copyright Office.
