Trademark Registration

Service Description

What is a Trademark? It is a word, phrase, symbol, design or logo (or combination) that identifies the source of your goods or services. It is your BRAND! A trademark allows customers/consumes to distinguish your goods or services from another company/source. Trademark Search Before applying for a trademark, we recommend a search to determine its availability for use and registration. We can conduct computer database searches to screen your potential mark(s). We can also analyze full search reports to provide an opinion on the availability of a mark for use and registration. We typically provide advice on whether the term or device can function as a mark and the protectability of the mark against others. We also advise our clients on the benefits of registration versus common law - unregistered use. Trademark Prosecution: Prior to filing applications, we strive to spot issues and avoid unnecessary prosecution and the associated costs. In those instances where Office Actions issue, we promptly report them to our clients and attempt to minimize cost where possible in responding. Office Action Responses: An office action response is your official legal response to an office action issued by the USPTO. Office actions can consist of a simple request for additional information to a lengthy argument supporting a refusal to register your trademark on any number of statutory grounds.
