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.
Selecting a strong trademark
Federal and state trademark applications (words and logos)
Trademark clearance searches and opinions
Federal trade dress, design patent, and copyright applications
Trademark application prosecution (Office Action responses, Appeals)
Trademark monitoring and maintenance
Intellectual Property Audits (identify opportunities, ensure proper marking, and the like)
Trademark dispute resolution (Opposition/Cancellation proceedings, Cease & Desist Letters, Consent Agreements, Assignments, etc.)
International/foreign trademark applications
Recording your trademarks with U.S. Customs
