TRADEMARK FILING, PROSECUTION, SEARCH AND CLEARANCE

We handle all aspects of trademark law and brand protection, including

• Trademark filing and prosecution (U.S. and international),
• Oppositions and cancellations before the Trademark Trials and Appeals Board,
• Searching and clearance,
• Enforcement,
• Defense,
• Domain name disputes before the World Intellectual Property Organization,
• Licensing and related transactions,
• Alternative enforcement, including internet marketplace "takedowns." 

We bring more to our clients than just the breadth of our trademark services; we bring the benefit of our unique perspectives on trademark law.

We understand the trademark needs of businesses of all sizes, having represented clients from small start-ups to some of the largest and most aggressive trademark owners in the world.

We understand trademarks from our clients’ point of view, because we’ve been there. Our trademark practice was established by a former trademark partner at one of the largest IP boutiques in the country—after having served as in-house counsel managing all facets of a large trademark portfolio for one of the largest companies in the world.

Because we also represent clients in trademark litigation (our lawyers have litigated more than 130 trademark cases in federal court), we anticipate the issues that arise in litigation, ensuring that our clients understand trademark risks and ensuring that our clients are well-positioned for enforcement.

We advise our clients and manage their trademark portfolios so that, when the time comes, they’re ready to move aggressively to protect their brands and markets against infringers and defend themselves against competitors.
