Lehrman Beverage Law has substantial experience working with clients to help with beer laws. We can save you lots of time and headaches as to:

What is a Trademark?

A trademark is a word, phrase, symbol, and/or design that identifies and distinguishes your products from the competition. We strongly recommend that most of our clients should make it a priority to seek trademark clearance and registration at an early stage. As your brands grow in popularity, your trademark rights will greatly increase in value and importance. Securing rights to brand names early may also help you avoid headaches down the road in the form of name disputes.
