Your trademark is the shorthand customers use for everything they trust about your product, which makes it one of the assets most worth protecting and easiest to undermine through a sloppy launch. We help you pick marks you can actually own, register them efficiently in the U.S. and abroad, and keep the portfolio in good order as your brand grows into new products and markets.
Clearance and Registration
The cheapest time to fix a trademark problem is before you adopt the mark. We run clearance searches, read the results with an eye toward real-world risk rather than just identical hits, and tell you plainly whether a name is worth pursuing. When it is, we prosecute applications before the USPTO and coordinate foreign filings through the Madrid Protocol and national counsel to lock in protection where you do business.
Portfolio Management and Licensing
A trademark portfolio rewards steady maintenance and punishes neglect with abandoned registrations. We track renewal, use-declaration, and maintenance deadlines so nothing lapses, and we keep the portfolio aligned with the brands you actually sell. When you license or franchise your marks, we draft agreements with the quality-control terms that keep the registrations valid and the brand consistent.
Enforcement and Disputes
A mark you do not enforce is a mark you can lose. We monitor for confusingly similar uses and infringing domains, send demand letters calibrated to get results without picking needless fights, and handle oppositions and cancellations before the Trademark Trial and Appeal Board. When the situation calls for it, we take infringement and dilution claims into federal court and pursue injunctions and damages.
