  • We’ll meet and learn about what you’re trying to protect.
  • We’ll do advanced searches including similar matches to their trademark name, slogan, phrase, logo, etc. to determine whether or not it likely will be accepted for registration by the USPTO.
  • If it is likely to be accepted, we’ll register it for you.
  • If it is not likely to be accepted for registration, we help you make a plan to change their trademark idea to something they can protect.
  • There is usually a rejection notice with every trademark application. Don’t worry. As a business law firm, we have experience with this. Because of our credibility as a law firm, we have the authority to advance the process more quickly. We’ll respond to and help plead your case. This is commonly something that can be overcome.
