We Are Fully Committed To The Needs Of Our Clients

Running a business is hard work.  The last thing you need is to have a legal problem added to your to-do list.  We take that pain from you, allowing you to focus on what you do best….run your business.

Brand Protection 101

Brand Protection includes four steps: Searching, Authentication, Policing and Enforcement.

U.S. Registration Process

One of the most common ways to authenticate your brand is to register it with the USPTO.

Buying Or Selling A Business

Whether you are buying or selling a business, you need to consider the role intellectual property plays in the transaction.

U

You Received An Office Action/Initial Refusal

The USPTO thoroughly reviews 100% of the applications filed; estimates show that as many as 85% of the applications receive an initial refusal.

You Received A Demand Letter

We’ve helped many businesses like yours that have received a letter telling them to stop using their name.

Someone Else Is Using My Brand

You can’t believe your eyes! You typed your company name in a search engine and a link for another company came up first. What do you do?

International Registrations

We live in a small world.  Your US rights in a brand have almost no bearing on your rights in Canada, the European Union, or other parts of the world. We can help you obtain rights in any country.

Other Services

There are so many layers to Brand Protection.

Educating Our Community

Brand protection is so important, but unfamiliar to most people.  We love discussing this area of the law with anyone to help them understand the significance of this topic.

Brand Health Check

What rights do you have in your brand?

You need to start your brand protection journey today if you answer “No” to either of these questions:

  • Do you know how to react if another company told you to stop using your company’s name or logo?
  • Do you know what to do if a competitor began using a name similar to your company’s name?

You should be in control of your brand.
Contact us to learn how to answer “Yes” to these questions!

Helping Good People Do Good Things

“It is not logical to build a house on land you don’t own. Why would you build a business on a brand you don’t own?”
