The Undeniable Value of Intangible Assets to Business

The Undeniable Value of Intangible Assets to Business

December 6, 2015 By Kelley Keller

Did you know that in 1975, the S&P 500 stock index as a percentage of corporate net worth was made up of 17% tangible assets and 23% intangible assets?

Trade Secret Protection Requires Specific Descriptions

December 4, 2015 By Kelley Keller

If you want to protect your trade secrets, then you need to describe them in very specific terms. Generic and broadly defined trade secrets could be difficult to protect (or impossible). That’s a lesson California’s New Castle Beverage, Inc. learned the hard way not that long ago. Under California law, a specific written description of…

Owner or Author – What’s the Difference?

November 29, 2015 By Kelley Keller

Just because you wrote it doesn’t mean you own it. Just because you painted it doesn’t mean you own it. Just because you recorded it doesn’t mean you own it. This list could go on and on because copyright law views the creator of a work and the owner of the legal rights to the…

What People are Saying about Kelley Keller

Lisa Frederiksen | Author, Speaker, Trainer, Consultant at BreakingTheCycles.com

Kelley works differently. After an initial phone conversation (I live in CA and she's in PA), she drafted a scope of work for both efforts and set a flat fee which included (and still includes) the back and forth conversations a client needs in order to get the best results. She is extremely knowledgeable and truly able to "hear" what I'm after and create meaningful legal documents and advice that have helped me immeasurably. I highly recommend Kelley Keller.

Kelly Phillips Erb | Senior Editor at Forbes

Kelley was able to explain complicated legal issues in a manner that was easy to understand without being patronizing. She was also great at talking me down from ledges - it was easy to get worked up when opposing parties weren't being cooperative but Kelley advised me to trust in the process and she was right.

Kelley explained my costs and options, as well as the pros and cons of each. She also kept me informed about my matter, letting me know what I needed to do at the appropriate time. All in all, I felt very involved in the process without being overwhelmed. Kelley made a wildly stressful situation so much better. I would highly recommend her services.

Matt Bloom | Founder & CEO of CRIMEWATCH Technologies, Inc.

Kelley is an exceptional IP attorney. She understands the legal nuances facing start-ups and is willing to work within those restrictions. Kelley is casual and easy to work with, but when it comes to legal action she is aggressive and takes charge. She has successfully helped us secure coexistence agreements and trademarks for our business. Here expertise has added exponential value to the technology we have built and I would highly recommend her to anyone seeking IP representation.

Zachary Ziegler | Brewmaster at Molly Pitcher Brewing Company

Kelley is not only extremely knowledgeable in the realm of intellectual property, but she made the whole process fun! It's not often you hear fun and legal work in the same sentence but Kelley's personality eased my worries while keeping me upbeat the whole time. She explained the entire process in language I could understand and kept me updated continuously. I would not hesitate to work with her again or refer her to my friends and family.
