Kenneth Kunkle

I work with businesses and individuals developing and exploiting their trademark and copyright assets, through registrations, licensing and enforcement of rights. I value personalized service and I take the time to really get to know about each client and their unique legal needs. My goal is to make sure to help clients understand the legal issues for themselves. By providing legal services in an informative and personal manner, I hope to empower my clients with the the information they need to make the best decisions possible for their businesses and families. Representative services include: Trademark and copyright registrations, Software licensing, Non-disclosure agreements, Independent contractor agreements, Recording agreements, Band partnerships, Publishing contracts, Production agreements, and Talent releases, along with many other related services.

• Free Consultation
  It doesn't cost to pick-up the phone and talk to me for a few minutes. While I might not be able to resolve your issues, I can let you know if you are on the right track and point you in the right direction.
• Credit Cards Accepted
• Rates, Retainers and Additional Information
  Registration services (trademark and copyrights) are nearly all handled on a flat fee basis - payable upon the filing of the application. Additional services are billed hourly, but in some cases flat fees are available for routine matters.
