TRADEMARKS ARE THE LOGO, THE BRAND NAME, THE PACKAGING

Do you have a logo or brand name?

We will secure your IP rights to that logo or brand name both nationally and internationally.

SEARCH & CLEARANCE

It is WORTH the small amount of extra time it takes to complete the search.

• Be positive you are not infringing on another mark/logo that already exists, resulting in a cease and desist letter right after you invest on your branding.

• Ensure you can register the word mark/logo whether in the United States or internationally and adequately protect your rights.

• Make sure your marketing channels are available for use. Domains, handles, and hashtags in social media and online marketing platforms are necessary tools for any brand.

PROSECUTION

Our firm files trademark applications and works with local counsel around the globe to assist with international filings. It is not an easy process. With our help you can avoid an office action from the examining attorney at the United States Patent and Trademark office. This is our world, and we will help you navigate the examination process and ensure you are getting the broadest rights possible and protecting yourself against infringement.

After your application is approved and your mark/logo is a registered trademark, we keep your registration on our automated docketing system at no extra charge. When the deadlines come up in five or 10 years you can rest easy knowing your deadlines are managed.

You can file:

• An intent to use application if you are sure of your mark/logo but are not yet ready to provide your services or product to consumers.

• An in use application if you are already using your mark/logo or are about to in interstate commerce.

Our firm provides this service on a flat fee basis so you know up front what each trademark application will cost.

If you are looking to expand your current brand internationally we can lean on our established relationships with local counsel around the world to help navigate and protect the growth of your brand.

PROTECTION

There is ALWAYS the potential for a prior user to suddenly emerge with rights you are looking to acquire. Inevitably a competitor will start using a mark that looks just like yours and offers similar goods in your industry.

We are here to:

• Send a cease and desist letter on your behalf, or respond to one

• Negotiate a co-existence agreement allowing both parties to exist without any market confusion

• File a cancellation proceeding against another registration

• File an opposition against another pending application that has the potential to harm your brand

• Offer an assignment of rights for trademark rights you want to own

• Negotiate a settlement for claimed trademark infringement

• File or defend a lawsuit for infringement
