Patents
As a registered Patent Attorney practicing in Salt
Lake City, I help inventors and entrepreneurs
obtain patent protection for new products or
ideas.  Mr. Goucher's clients include garage
inventors, small entities and large national and
multinational corporations. Contact a Patent
Attorney today for a free consultation.
Trademarks
I also help clients throughout Utah and the United
States obtain protection on their business' unique
Trademark, Service Mark or Trade dress.  Trade
Dress protection, Trademarks and Service Marks
are used to protect words, names, symbols,
sounds, or colors that distinguish goods and
services from those manufactured or sold by
others and to indicate the source of the goods.
Trademarks, unlike patents, can be renewed
forever as long as they are being used in
commerce.  Contact a Trademark Attorney today
for a free consultation.
Copyrights
Copyrights protect works of authorship, such as
writings, music, and works of art that have been
tangibly expressed. The Library of Congress
registers copyrights which last for the life of the
author plus 70 years. Copyright is a form of
protection provided to the authors of “original
works of authorship” including literary, dramatic,
musical, artistic, and certain other intellectual
works, both published and unpublished.  The
copyright protects the form of expression rather
than the subject matter of the writing. For
example, a description of a machine could be
copyrighted, but this would only prevent others
from copying the description; it would not prevent
others from writing a description of their own or
from making and using the machine. Contact a
Copyright Attorney today for a free consultation.
Specializing in intellectual property law and offering expert advice
primarily in the areas of preparation, prosecution and litigation of
domestic and foreign patent, trademark and copyright applications
and related licensing and enforcement matters.

Intellectual Property (IP) protection can be a business' greatest
asset. Patent, Trademark and Copyright protection levels the
playing field for small businesses.  With the proper IP protection
small companies and individual inventors can compete with large
national and multinational corporations.  

I am an Intellectual Property Lawyer working  at Kunzler &
McKenzie, a patent law firm in Salt Lake City, Utah. I have helped
small businesses and independent inventors with patent, trademark
and copyright services.  I am a Patent Attorney counseling in all
areas of patent, trademark and copyright prosecution as well as
licensing and intellectual property litigation.

I offer high quality legal services at a price unheard of in larger law
firms with numerous attorneys salaries to support.  Kunzler &
McKenzie keeps our overhead low to provide you with the
intellectual property protection you need at a price you can afford.  
With a law office located in Salt Lake City, Utah, I serve clients
located from Ogden to Provo including clients in Layton and Park
City.  However, my services are not limited to Utah, I am also
available to assist inventors and business owners throughout the
country in patent, trademark and copyright acquisition, licensing
and litigation.

For those of you on a tight budget, I suggest conducting your own
preliminary prior art search on the United States Patent and
Trademark Office (USPTO) website www.uspto.gov to make sure
your idea is novel.  Searching the USPTO is free and will help you
decide whether to enlist my services.  

For those with the funds, I can arrange a prior art search to be
conducted on your behalf.  In certain circumstances, where the
inventor is confident that their invention is new, useful and
nonobvious, I can draft and file an application with the USPTO
without conducting a prior art search.
