Salt Lake City Patent Lawyer - Tyler R. Goucher
Tyler R. Goucher is an Intellectual Property Lawyer working as an associate at Kunzler & McKenzie, a
patent law firm in Salt Lake City, Utah. As an associate at Kunzler & McKenzie, Mr. Goucher helps small
businesses and independent inventors with patent, trademark and copyright services.  Mr. Goucher is a
Patent Attorney who counsels in all areas of patent, trademark and copyright prosecution as well as
licensing and intellectual property litigation.

As an associate in a IP boutique firm, I offer high quality legal services at a price unheard of in larger law
firms with numerous attorneys salaries to support.  
Kunzler & McKenzie keeps their overhead low to
provide you with the intellectual property protection you need at a price you can afford.  With a law office
located in Salt Lake City, Utah, I serve clients located from Ogden to Provo including clients in Layton
and Park City.  However, my services are not limited to Utah, I am also available to assist inventors and
business owners throughout the country in patent, trademark and copyright acquisition, licensing and
litigation.

For those of you on a tight budget, I suggest conducting your own preliminary prior art search on the
United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) website
www.uspto.gov to make sure your idea is
novel.  Searching the USPTO is free and will help you decide whether to enlist my services.  

For those with the funds, I can arrange a prior art search to be conducted on your behalf.  In certain
circumstances, where the inventor is confident that their invention is new, useful and nonobvious, I can
draft and file an application with the USPTO without conducting a prior art search.

Trademark searches can be performed on
www.uspto.gov as well.  While I advise a potential client to
search the USPTO for potential problems, I caution that trademark law is a complex area and not all
registered trademarks will eliminate your chance of getting a trademark.  Therefore, I suggest you contact a

Salt Lake City Patent
Attorney  to find out how I can help you succeed with your invention, trademark or
business venture.

Patents
Trademarks
A patent protects an invention. A patent is a property
right granted by the Government of the United States of
America to an inventor “to exclude others from making,
using, offering for sale, or selling the invention
throughout the United States or importing the invention
into the United States” for a limited time in exchange for
public disclosure of the invention when the patent is
granted.
Trademarks protect words, names, symbols, sounds, or
colors that distinguish goods and services from those
manufactured or sold by others and to indicate the
source of the goods. Trademarks, unlike patents, can be
renewed forever as long as they are being used in
commerce.
Copyrights
Business Organizations
Copyrights protect works of authorship, such as
writings, music, and works of art that have been tangibly
expressed. The Library of Congress registers
copyrights which last for the life of the author plus 70
years. Copyright is a form of protection provided to the
authors of “original works of authorship” including
literary, dramatic, musical, artistic, and certain other
intellectual works, both published and unpublished.  
The copyright protects the form of expression rather
than the subject matter of the writing. For example, a
description of a machine could be copyrighted, but this
would only prevent others from copying the description;
it would not prevent others from writing a description of
their own or from making and using the machine.
There are several business forms available within Utah.  
I offer counselling for executives, business owners,
inventors and entrepreneurs on all business entity
formation issues.  Examples of business entities
recognized in Utah include corporations, partnerships,
and limited liability corporations (LLC).  For more
