Trademark Search & Clearance
What is a trademark search, and why is it important? A trademark search checks existing trademarks to ensure your brand name or logo doesn’t conflict with others. This helps avoid lawsuits, rebranding, and costly delays after filing.
Trademark Registration (U.S.)
How do I register a trademark in the U.S.? We file your trademark with the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) and guide you through the entire process. From the approval application, we protect your brand every step of the way.
Trademark Registration (International)
Can I register my trademark in other countries? Yes. We coordinate international filings through the Madrid Protocol or country-specific applications to protect your brand globally.
Trademark Enforcement & Infringement
What can I do if someone uses my trademark without permission? We take swift legal action to stop unauthorized use, including issuing cease-and-desist letters, submitting takedown requests, and pursuing litigation when necessary. Your brand integrity is our priority.
Trademark Opposition/TTAB Proceedings
What is a TTAB proceeding? The Trademark Trial and Appeal Board (TTAB) handles disputes like oppositions and cancellations of U.S. trademarks. We represent both challengers and brand owners in these proceedings.
IP Licensing & Agreements
What is an IP license, and why do I need one? An IP license lets others use your trademarks, patents, or copyrights under agreed-upon terms. We draft strong, enforceable agreements that protect your rights and create revenue.
Patent Strategy & Filing
What’s involved in filing a patent? We help you identify what’s patentable, draft your application, and navigate the USPTO approval process. Our goal is long-term protection and commercial value.
Copyright Registration & Protection
Do I need to register my copyright? While copyright exists once you create a work, registration gives you stronger legal rights. We handle the filing and help enforce your ownership if someone uses your work without permission.
Trade Secret Protection
How can I protect my business secrets? We develop non-disclosure agreements (NDAs), internal policies, and enforcement strategies to safeguard proprietary information. A proper legal structure helps prevent leaks and strengthens your case if it is breached.
IP Litigation & Disputes
Can you represent me in an IP lawsuit? Yes. We handle complex IP litigation in federal court, including infringement, misappropriation, and contract-related IP disputes.
IP Due Diligence (M&A/VC)
Why is IP due diligence critical in deals? In mergers, acquisitions, or funding rounds, we audit your IP portfolio to ensure it’s clean, protected, and accurately valued. Investors demand clarity—you need legal certainty.
Brand Protection (Online & Offline)
How do I protect my brand online? We enforce your rights across marketplaces, websites, and social media through takedowns, monitoring, and litigation. Offline, we act against counterfeits and unauthorized use.
Digital Assets, NFTs & Blockchain IP
Can you protect blockchain-based intellectual property? Yes. We help register and enforce rights related to NFTs, smart contracts, and digital ownership tied to blockchain technology.
AI & Inventorship Law
Can AI be listed as an inventor? U.S. law doesn’t currently recognize AI as an inventor, but this area is evolving fast. We help clients navigate the legal gray zones of AI-generated works and protect human-associated rights.
Custom IP Strategy Consultation
What happens in an IP consultation? We evaluate your assets, business goals, and risk exposure to create a tailored protection and monetization strategy that suits your needs. It’s your roadmap to making IP work for your business.
What is a TTAB proceeding?
A TTAB (Trademark Trial and Appeal Board) proceeding is a legal process used to resolve disputes over trademark rights. It includes trademark oppositions, cancellations, and appeals when a trademark application is refused.
What is a PTAB proceeding?
A PTAB (Patent Trial and Appeal Board) proceeding allows parties to challenge the validity of an issued patent or appeal a rejection by a patent examiner. It’s a faster, cost-effective alternative to federal court for patent disputes.
