Protect your logos and business brands. Confusion among brands may mean that your good reputation is being traded upon by others, or even worse, their bad reputation may end up tarnishing your company’s name.
Trademarks protect the various distinctive words, names, symbols, sounds and colors you may use to distinguish your products and services in your business from other businesses.
We help your company in the selection, clearance, preparation, filing and prosecution of a trademark application to registration in the U.S Trademark Office. In this effort, we overcome the many possible challenges along the way, including descriptiveness and confusingly similar rejections. We also help in the monitoring for misappropriation of the registered trademark, and opinions and actions in that regard.
Our firm can facilitate the trademark process in several ways, including:
- Trademark Application
- Intent-to-Use Trademark Application
- Trademark Clearance
- Trademark Prosecution
- Descriptiveness and Confusing Similar Rejections
- Trademark Dilution and False Advertising
- Infringement and Non-Infringement Evaluations
