You've worked hard to build a creative, unique brand.
Now, it's time to take the next step & I'm here to help.
AREAS OF EXPERTISE
The only thing more important than building a brand is protecting it.
Here's how it's done:
TRADEMARK REGISTRATION
Trademark Registration begins with
a thorough Clearance Search to ensure your brand rights.
Office Action Responses
The prosecution of a trademark application can include several twists and turns, and the needs of each application can vary.
Trademark Maintenance
If the correct documents are
not filed in time, your
trademark will lapse.
Trademark Disputes
If your trademark is found to be in violation of another organization's already existing copyrights, you may need to take action.
International trademarks
Foreign domiciled trademarks require a U.S. licensed attorney. We can represent your foreign trademarks before the USPTO.
Ownership Transfer
Any change in ownership of your pending or approved trademark must be reported to the United States Patent and Trademark Office immediately.
