Protection, defense, and licensing of the trademarks, service marks, and copyrighted works of JEFFREY ALLEN PENNINGTON.
Protecting brand, trade name, and copyright interests is a common-law right. It is our intention to protect all trademark and copyright interests; we have implemented intellectual property policies to clarify ownership and use of said interests.
All products are non-returnable and non-refundable. There are only three ways to obtain our products:
The final is an infringement of a trade secret and a violation of law — in fact, a crime, depending on how the materials were obtained. Any infringement on our copyrighted materials (intellectual properties) will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.
Our trademarks are valuable assets. We aggressively care for these assets through the registration and protection of trademarks and service marks. We employ trademark enforcement strategies that protect our good names and reputations, including regular checks for infringing uses, drafting of cease-and-desist letters, and securing adjudicative relief in U.S. District Courts and in state courts.
We evaluate considerations such as unfair competition, misappropriation, and trademark and copyright infringement. We address wrongdoing, whether blatant, purposeful infringement for someone else's gain, or subtler issues of using our organization's name, mark, or copyrighted material without first receiving permission.
Copyright law encompasses ownership in the expression of an original work of authorship at the time it is fixed in a tangible medium. No legal formalities are required to obtain copyright protection; once a work of authorship is fixed in a form that can be communicated, U.S. copyright law protects it. We have developed policies about the creation, use, and licensing of copyrighted materials.
We maintain well-drafted agreements that protect our rights and help others understand their responsibilities when using our trademarks or copyrighted materials. BethYah Property and Trust Management, as Attorney-in-Fact, assists in negotiating, preparing, and enforcing agreements for the licensing or assignment of trademarks or copyrights, including agreements allowing for derivative works such as compilations, translations, or recordings. Our attorneys-in-fact also include intellectual property provisions in other contracts as needed, including employment or independent-contractor agreements.
Fair use is the right to use copyrighted material without permission or payment under some circumstances, especially when the cultural or social benefits of the use are predominant.
