Some of the services our general counsel plans offer:
What is a trademark?
A trademark is essential for brand protection, distinguishing goods from different entities through words, phrases, symbols, or designs. Registering a trademark helps businesses safeguard their identity, making products easily recognizable and reinforcing customer trust, ultimately protecting and enhancing brand reputation.
Should I file a state or federal trademark?
Filing in your state creates rights only in that state. The protection of your brand becomes very limited to only that geographic area. Filing a federal trademark application creates rights throughout the United States.
How long does the process take?
The timeline for trademark registration can vary due to multiple factors, typically ranging from 12 to 18 months. However, there's no assurance of approval, as applications may face refusals based on legal grounds. The registration process is intricate, requiring careful navigation through various rules and regulations. Understanding these complexities is crucial for a successful application.
