Your ideas, your brand, your creative work—they all deserve more than just hope. At Res Nova Law, we help entrepreneurs, creatives, and innovators across Oregon and Washington secure what they’ve built through legally sound intellectual property strategies. Whether you're filing, enforcing, or expanding, we’re here to protect what’s uniquely yours.
Why Intellectual Property Protection Matters
You’ve poured time, talent, and resources into your work. Without the right safeguards, it’s vulnerable to misuse, theft, or loss. The right legal support ensures your creations stay yours—and your future stays secure.
Your Ideas Could Be Taken
You’ve poured time, talent, and resources into your work. Without the right safeguards, it’s vulnerable to misuse, theft, or loss. The right legal support ensures your creations stay yours—and your future stays secure.
You Could Miss Out on Opportunities
Unprotected IP can’t be confidently licensed, sold, or scaled. A strong foundation opens doors for growth, collaboration, and investment.
Infringement Disputes Are Costly
Whether you’re enforcing your rights or responding to accusations, infringement can drain your resources. We help you avoid it altogether.
Your Brand Identity Could Be Compromised
Trademarks and copyrights ensure your brand stays recognizable, protected, and aligned with your reputation and values.
Innovation Without Protection Invites Competition
If your inventions aren’t secured, competitors can replicate and monetize your work—gaining market share from the very vision you brought to life.
Delaying Can Cost You Ownership
IP rights are often first-come, first-served. Waiting too long can mean losing your rights altogether.

Trusted by Families and Entrepreneurs Across Washington & Oregon
“I hired Susan to help me with estate planning documents, a task that was long overdue. Susan and her staff answered all my questions, provided excellent service and I received the documentation in a timely manner. I would definitely hire Res Nova Law again (and will be doing so in the near future).”
“Susan Ford helped me prepare for a small claims case (where I represented my company) for a customer that sued us for nearly $5,000. Before hiring Susan I had checked with two other lawyers but I did not feel confident. Susan helped with both the mediation and the final court hearing. With her knowledge in my brain, I was able to make a clear and coherent explanation of events. The judge decided the case in my favor. I recommend Res Nova for anyone dealing with business issues in Oregon.”
