Protect What You’ve Created. Build What’s Next.
Every innovation, invention, and idea you create represents years of hard work and vision. Protecting that work means safeguarding your ability to grow, profit, and share it on your terms.
At Intellestate Law, we help individuals, entrepreneurs, and businesses secure their intellectual property through thoughtful, strategic protection. Whether you’ve developed a new invention, designed a product, or built a recognizable brand, we’ll help you protect what makes your work unique.
Attorney Jason M. Toomey brings more than 20 years of experience in intellectual property law and engineering to every client relationship. Having worked directly with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) for two decades, he understands how innovation becomes ownership—and how to make protection both strong and practical.
Intellectual Property Attorneys Help Protect What You Create
Your ideas are more than concepts—they’re assets. Intellectual property protection ensures that the value you build belongs to you and no one else.
Without proper protection, even the most original inventions, designs, or brands can be copied or commercialized by others. A comprehensive IP strategy ensures that your work is recognized, enforceable, and integrated into your broader business or personal plan.
At Intellestate Law, we see intellectual property protection as more than paperwork. It’s a way to secure your creative and technical legacy—so your work continues to benefit you, your family, and your future.

- File and prosecute patent applications with the USPTO.
- Register and protect trademarks for brands, products, and services.
- Integrate intellectual property rights into business structures and estate plans.
Every IP journey is different. Our goal is to make yours clear, strategic, and tailored to your goals—so you can innovate with confidence.

Intellectual Property Attorney, Jason M. Toomey
What Our Intellectual Property Lawyers Protect
Your intellectual property is as unique as the person or team who created it. We help clients protect a wide range of creative and technical work, with services focused on patents and trademarks—the cornerstones of modern IP protection.
Patents
A patent protects an invention, process, or design by granting you the right to exclude others from making, using, or selling it without permission.
At Intellestate Law, we help clients:
- Determine what kind of patent protection they need—utility, design, or provisional.
- Conduct preliminary searches to assess novelty and potential conflicts.
- Prepare, file, and manage patent applications before the USPTO.
- Navigate office actions and correspondence efficiently and strategically.
Jason’s dual background as an engineer and IP attorney allows him to bridge technical and legal perspectives—helping clients present their inventions with clarity and precision.
Trademarks
A trademark protects the elements that identify your business—your name, logo, slogan, or even distinctive design features. Registering your trademark ensures that your brand remains yours and that competitors can’t use confusingly similar marks. We help clients:
- Conduct clearance searches to confirm a mark’s availability.
- File and prosecute trademark applications before the USPTO.
- Maintain, renew, and enforce trademark registrations.
- Integrate trademark ownership into business and estate plans.
A strong brand builds trust, recognition, and long-term value. We make sure it’s protected—so your reputation grows on your terms.
Integrating Intellectual Property into Your Business and Estate Plan in Massachusetts
Your intellectual property doesn’t exist in isolation—it’s part of your business, your livelihood, and in many cases, your legacy.
At Intellestate Law, we take a comprehensive view of protection. We help ensure that your patents, trademarks, and creative works are properly structured within your business and estate plans, so they continue to support you and your loved ones for years to come.
A coordinated approach means:
- Your business owns its IP assets, limiting personal liability and simplifying future sales or licensing.
- Your estate plan accounts for your IP’s ongoing value, ensuring your heirs receive both ownership and clear management authority.
- Your protection strategy evolves with you, adapting to new ventures, products, or collaborations.
For creators, founders, and families alike, intellectual property is more than an idea—it’s part of the story you’re building. We help you make sure that story is preserved and protected.
How the IP Protection Law Process Works
Protecting your ideas doesn’t have to feel overwhelming. Our process is transparent, methodical, and designed to help you understand every step:
- Discovery + Strategy
We start with a conversation about your goals—what you’ve created, where you see it going, and what kind of protection best fits your needs. - Search + Evaluation
We review existing patents or trademarks to assess novelty, scope, and risk, giving you a clear picture before you invest in filing. - Application Preparation
We draft, refine, and file your patent or trademark application with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO), ensuring every detail meets technical and procedural standards. - Prosecution + Communication
We manage all correspondence with the USPTO, including office actions and examiner responses, keeping you informed and involved throughout the process. - Registration + Maintenance
Once your rights are granted, we guide you on maintaining, renewing, and enforcing them—so your protection remains strong over time.
Throughout the process, we focus on education and transparency. You’ll never be left wondering what’s happening or why—it’s your innovation, and you’ll always be part of the conversation.
FAQs About Intellectual Property Law
What’s the difference between a patent and a trademark?
A patent protects inventions—new products, processes, or designs—while a trademark protects the name, logo, or symbol that identifies your business. Many clients benefit from both: a patent for what they’ve created and a trademark for how it’s recognized.
How long does IP protection last?
Patents typically last 15–20 years, depending on the type and maintenance fees. Trademarks can last indefinitely if they’re properly renewed and actively used in commerce.
Do I need to have a business to file for a patent or trademark?
No. Many individuals hold IP personally or assign it to a business later. We’ll help you determine the best structure for ownership and long-term management.
Can I protect my invention before it’s finalized?
Yes. You can file a provisional patent application to establish an early filing date while you continue development. We’ll help ensure your provisional is detailed enough to preserve your rights.
What if someone copies my work?
We’ll help you evaluate your enforcement options—from sending cease-and-desist letters to pursuing formal USPTO or court actions. The key is having valid, registered rights before infringement occurs.
Can I include my IP in my estate plan?
Absolutely. Intellectual property is a transferable asset. We coordinate with your estate plan to ensure your patents, trademarks, and other creative works are properly owned, valued, and passed on.
