The steps involved are well established and can be researched easily on the Internet. Before any of these steps are taken, and permits and licenses sought, the would-be small business owner or owners need to plan their business model thoroughly.

Intellectual Property (IP) Disputes in Massachusetts Business litigation attorneys who have been hired to help an IP owner in a dispute will typically seek to persuade the plaintiff to settle the dispute out of court. This may involve agreement to pay damages demanded and ceasing the act of infringement. If the case for the lawsuit is convincing, but the plaintiff is adamant that infringement has not taken place, then the attorney may suggest taking the case to court. Legal fees including attorney’s fees and court costs would then be added to the amount demanded from the plaintiff.

While an attorney is not strictly necessary for a small claim, some cases can be particularly complex. In a situation like this it may still be advisable to seek help from an experienced attorney.
