- Q. Qmatic and qless seemed to have same type of patent on virtual queue ? How are they different?
- A: You need to review the patents or publications and analyze them. Make an appointment for a consultation as it will require access to the patent documents, review and provide an opinion. You may also need to get an expert opinion, from somebody specialized in the field or with these patents. marcos.e.garciaacosta@gmail.com www.legalbizglobal.com
- Q. I got a software copyright infringement notice for a company that i am not a member of any more, what should i do?
- A: You can try talking to them and explaining the situation. Maybe a mistake. If it is not a valid invoice you can tell them that. And if they keep harassing you you can try to get legal counsel or use your state attorney general. marcos.e.garciaacosta@gmail.com www.legalbizglobal.com
- Q. patent for EEUU market an accessory element set for competition guns. How much cost including lawyer fees?
- A: For filing and prosecuting a utility patent you should budget at least around $10,000. It may be higher if the filing is in an international market. Consult an attorney to understand better your best approach. marcos.e.garciaacosta@gmail.com www.legalbizglobal.com
- Q. There is a website using my pictures without permission. What are my options?
- A: You can try asking her formally to remove the pictures as they are your property. Your legal option is possible to sue. Expensive though. You can recover damages caused by him using the pictures without your approval, but you have to prove that. You can copyright the photos and if you win, you can get statutory damages for every violation. IF it is a very high traffic site, and produces a lot of sales/income, maybe you can get something from it, otherwise may be an exercise in futility.
- Q. My company offers services similar to that of, a federally trademarked name of another company. Must I change names?

And it is important to make sure it is not owned by somebody else. Marcos.e.garciaacosta@gmail.com
