Trademark Services

We can help you avoid trademark problems or fix them if you already have any. 

We understand how valuable a good trademark is and how costly it can be if it’s not well-protected.

You shouldn’t have to worry about your trademarks when you’re with family, on vacation, or focused on other parts of your business.

Here’s how we help:

  • Focus on Trademarks: We handle trademarks as part of our core practice, unlike other firms that handle them occasionally. That means we have the experience you need.
  • Advice on Branding: We can assess whether your brand is unique to you and protectable or is leaving you open to accusations of infringement. We can advise you about rebranding if necessary.
  • Strategy: We work with you to create a tailored strategy to maximize the value of your investment in protecting your trademarks.
  • Support from Start to Finish: We assist with choosing a trademark, applying for trademark registration, using your trademark correctly to keep your rights, keeping an eye out for infringement, filing maintenance and renewal documents, licensing, and more.
  • Respect: We believe small businesses deserve the same level of trademark planning and service that large businesses get from big law firms. That’s why we’re here.

 

We look forward to working with your small business to protect and manage your trademarks!
