We understand the value of your brand’s identity and strategy. Whether it's your company's name, a product line, service mark, or any other trademark, we can provide you with invaluable advice at all stages of the brand-building and brand maintenance process.
We assist our clients in selecting trademarks which are legally protectable and marketable. Our attorneys analyze trademark searches to help clear trademarks for use and registration, prepare applications for registration, domestically and internationally, and prosecute the applications federally and in foreign countries. We help new and expanding companies to develop “budget feasible” brand recognition strategies. Our clients value our experience at maximizing the value of their trademarks through various commercial transactions. Our attorneys have extensive experience in structuring and negotiating trademark licenses, product distribution agreements and other trademark sensitive arrangements in numerous industries, including toys, apparel, publishing, music, television, film, software, hardware, and cooperative nonprofit ventures.
We advise our clients regarding sound strategies when faced with infringements of their trademarks, as well as accusations of infringement. When disputes cannot be resolved, we are experienced at bringing and defending lawsuits under trademark infringement, unfair competition, false advertising and other related theories. Our professionals always strive to offer creative business and legal solutions for fair, fast and cost-conscious dispute resolution, with a view to avoid the expense and adverse publicity of litigation when clients so desire.
