Intellectual Property Dispute Resolution
Summary
If you independently created your jewelry design, you might have a defense against claims of copying. Check if the other party holds patents or copyrights on the design. Use the USPTO and Google Patents for patent searches, and the U.S. Copyright Office for copyright checks. Consider consulting an intellectual property lawyer for personalized advice.Full Conversation
