Trademark and patent searches
A look at the federal register, pending applications, and common-law use before you spend money on labels, a domain, or a filing. A search is not a guarantee. It is how you learn what is already sitting in your lane.
What we do
Clear the mark, file it, and keep the file alive.
The United States Patent and Trademark Office will not give legal advice. A search-and-file shop that is not a law firm cannot appear for you. We can search, prepare the application, file it, and stay on the case when an examining attorney writes back.
Application preparation
Attorney-prepared U.S. trademark applications at a flat fee, quoted before work begins, plus USPTO fees paid to the Office. Identification of goods and services, the drawing, the filing basis, and the specimens when you are already using the mark. Patent application work is quoted from the file in front of us.
Office actions and prosecution
Likelihood of confusion, descriptiveness, specimen problems, and identifications that need a rewrite. Deadlines are short. The response is the case.
Licenses and enforcement
Advice on infringement and dilution, license drafting, and the quiet work of watching a mark so unauthorized use does not sit unanswered.
Portfolio and maintenance
Declarations of use, renewals, and keeping a registration from dying on a missed date. One mark or a stack of them.
Litigation
When a dispute is already in motion, we represent clients in intellectual property litigation: enforcing a mark or patent, or defending against a claim. We do not promise a result. We tell you what the papers actually say.
