Considered counsel for what you have built
KYI helps founders, creators, and businesses protect, own, and commercially use their trademarks and copyright, combining registration strategy with careful drafting and practical enforcement.
More about usKYI is a focused trademark and copyright practice. We advise founders, businesses, creators, and rights holders across the full life of their intellectual property: clearing and registering trademarks, securing copyright and ownership, drafting the contracts that govern use, and enforcing rights when they are challenged.
The objective is not merely to file rights, but to ensure that ownership, use, confidentiality, and commercial control are settled from the outset. We work in close, candid partnership with a small number of clients at a time, so the counsel you receive is clear, responsive, and precise in execution.
Counsel for the people who make things
Founders, artists, labels, studios, and the brands they grow. We work close to the work itself, so the protection fits how you actually create and trade.
