Our Services
U.S. Trademark Registrations
Secure your rights from the start with trademark applications done right. We confidently guide you through the application process, avoid common pitfalls when filing, think outside the box when responding to U.S. Patent and Trademark Office Actions, and position your application to register. Our law firm's success rate in overcoming complex refusals from the USPTO is close to perfect.
Global Trademark Strategy, Portfolio Management, Registrations, and Enforcement
We work with you to proactively and strategically build (or reduce) your trademark portfolio as your business moves across markets - to make sure you’re protected where it matters and budget effectively. We maintain a trusted network of international trademark attorneys to handle foreign registrations and enforcement, and we manage all of the related deadlines for you.
Trademark Availability Searches
Before you invest in a new brand name or logo, it’s critical to first understand whether it’s available for use and registration. Our in-house trademark search comprehensively identifies potential conflicts before you launch or file a trademark application. We provide a practical analysis of the risks, including whether existing marks could be obstacles to the use or registration of your trademark.
Trademark Registration Maintenance and Renewals
We track key deadlines and handle required maintenance filings to make sure your U.S. and global trademark registrations don’t lapse as your business evolves.
Trademark Trial & Appeal Board Oppositions and Cancellations
If your trademark application is opposed or your registration challenged, or you need to initiate proceedings to challenge the registration of a third-party trademark, we represent you before the TTAB with a focused, strategic approach designed to resolve the case as quickly and efficiently as possible, including with consent, coexistence, assignment or license agreements, and other settlement arrangements.
Trademark and Copyright Infringement Disputes
When someone uses your trademark, copies your creative work, or creates confusion in the marketplace, swift and strategic action matters. We help clients identify risk, assess the strength of claims, and determine the best path forward - whether that means sending a cease and desist letter, pursuing a takedown, negotiating a resolution, or escalating the dispute via court litigation or a Uniform Domain Name Dispute Resolution Policy (UDRP) proceeding. We also defend clients who have been accused of infringement, and work with them to evaluate the claims and their options so the dispute can be resolved swiftly.
Our team has handled countless takedowns of infringing content online and other unauthorized uses. If litigation is necessary, we have appeared in federal courts across the country to defend and enforce our clients’ rights.
Intellectual Property Agreements and Due Diligence
We adeptly negotiate, prepare, and review license, assignment, and other intellectual agreements to make sure your rights are protected while unlocking opportunities to grow your intellectual property.
Along with that, we undertake due diligence research in mergers, acquisitions, and other transactions that involve intellectual property to make sure you can confidently move forward with the deal.
Copyright Registrations
Copyright registration is necessary to litigate an infringement dispute. Registration protects original works of authorship, including written materials, photographs, artwork, videos, music, software, and website content. We work with clients to seamlessly register works once complete, and get complex works through the process.
