Trademarks
Our trademark practice includes the protection of marks, logos, color schemes, product packaging, and designs. We assist clients in searches for clearance to use marks and in adoption and registration of marks. Through the firm's extensive experience in performing such searches, you can be assured that your adoption of a mark is in good faith and that use of the mark is likely not to be challenged.
We prepare and prosecute trademark and service mark applications for federal registration in the United States Patent and Trademark Office. Working with our foreign associates, we obtain registrations throughout the world and we have substantial experience in obtaining community trademark registrations in Europe.
We have extensive experience in contested matters, such as opposition and cancellation actions in the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office. We concentrate our efforts to obtain appropriate resolutions consistent with your strategic goals.
Services include:
- U.S. and international prosecution
- Opinions on adoption, infringement, and freedom-to-use
- Administrative Proceedings including Oppositions and Cancellation Actions
- Agreements including trademark licensing, concurrent use, and employment agreements
- Litigation in enforcing trademark rights or defense in the case of allegations of misuse
