Today, almost every business relies upon information technology, the Internet and e-Commerce to be successful. In order to compete and stay ahead of the competition, our clients rely on the intellectual property lawyers of Porter & Hedges to protect these vital business assets. Our lawyers work with clients at each step of the development and protection of intellectual property assets, and focus our efforts on maximizing the value of these assets in the context of the client's business objectives. We regularly advise clients regarding:

• Proprietary software issues
• Protection of copyrighted materials
• Technology development agreements
• Security and privacy issues
• Electronic customer databases

We understand the issues surrounding the world of information technology and e-Commerce, and guide our clients through the numerous and often novel legal questions they can present.
