The firm has been involved with hundreds of trademark issues including USPTO filings, state filings, and common law protections in court.  “Natural zones of expansion” are increasing due to the web. Trademark protection can be an efficient or an expensive process, and since trademarks don’t have a limit on their term of years, they can be one of the best investments that a company can make.  Here are some examples of work that the firm has performed in this area:

• Mediation of infringement claims

• Drafting and negotiation of assignment or rights transfer agreements

• Trademark search and filings with the U.S.P.T.O. and various state agencies

• Trademark opinion letters

• Negotiation and drafting of concurrent use agreements

• Hearings before the Trademark Trial and Appeals Board (TTAB)

• Monitoring of trademark infringement

• Cease and desist letters

• Trademark filing streamlining for clients filing multiple trademarks during the year
