Comprehensive Trademark Services

Strategic Selection and Clearance

The strongest trademark protection begins before you file. We advise clients on selecting marks that offer maximum protectability by conducting comprehensive clearance searches and providing informed opinions that minimize future challenges. Addressing potential conflicts at the outset helps you avoid costly rebranding down the line. We position your mark for long-term success across domestic and international markets.

Whether you’re launching a new brand or expanding into additional product lines, we align trademark selection with your business strategy and competitive landscape.

Domestic and International Prosecution

We handle trademark prosecution and maintenance both domestically and internationally, navigating registration requirements across multiple jurisdictions. Our experience allows us to anticipate examiner objections, overcome registration obstacles, and build trademark portfolios that align with your brand architecture and expansion plans.

From initial filing through registration maintenance, renewals, and affidavits of use, we ensure your trademark rights remain protected and enforceable.

Trade Dress and Design Protection

Beyond word marks and logos, we protect the distinctive visual appearance of your products and packaging, which is particularly valuable when design elements in engineered products blur the line between aesthetic and functional.

We develop strategies that establish secondary meaning, document consumer recognition, and defend trade dress against infringement while navigating the complexities of functionality doctrine.

Portfolio Management and Enforcement Strategy

Strong brands require active protection. We develop comprehensive portfolio management strategies that include monitoring for infringement, enforcing against unauthorized use, and maintaining registrations across multiple jurisdictions.

Litigation That Protects Brand Equity

When enforcement requires litigation, our team handles trademark disputes in federal courts, state courts, and administrative proceedings nationwide. We consistently win cases against opponents represented by some of the largest firms in the country, litigating infringement claims, dilution cases, counterfeiting matters, false advertising disputes, and cybersquatting actions.

We also represent clients in opposition and cancellation proceedings before the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, protecting your trademark rights at the administrative level before disputes escalate.

Licensing Programs That Generate Revenue

Beyond protection and enforcement, we structure licensing agreements, develop brand extension programs, and create revenue-generating strategies that maximize trademark value. Whether you’re licensing your brand to third parties or managing co-branding arrangements, we align trademark strategy with revenue objectives.

These services transform trademark portfolios from defensive assets into revenue generators that drive business growth.
