Trademark Attorneys
Our trademark attorneys handle trademark searches, applications, and disputes so your brand stays protected.
One of the most devastating experiences for entrepreneurs who have invested significant time, resources, and effort into developing a business name and logo is receiving a cease-and-desist letter from another company.
This letter alleges that the name or logo infringes upon their trademark. If you want to avoid legal consequences, you’ll need to spend additional time, resources, and effort to create a new business name and logo. Even worse, you’ll have to build recognition for this new identity from scratch.
Our firm can help you prevent this situation by guiding you in securing a distinctive, non-infringing trademark that not only boosts brand recognition and instills trust among your customers but also protects your brand from potential infringements, ensuring that your trademarked name or logo remains uniquely yours.

Frequently Asked Questions About Trademark Law
What is a trademark?
A trademark is a symbol, term, or collection of words that a company officially registers or uses consistently, which can include a word, logo, design, or slogan. The owner of a trademark has exclusive rights to its use for specific goods and services.
Why is a trademark important?
A trademark is a crucial legal asset that safeguards your brand from infringement by others who may attempt to use similar identifiers. It is vital to highlight that trademarks must be unique and original, which is why incorporating distinctive features into your products or services is essential to prevent competitors from copying you. By securing strong trademark protections, you not only boost your brand’s value in your industry but also cultivate credibility and trust with consumers. Consequently, if a competitor attempts to mimic your business or brand, they will encounter significant hurdles in the marketplace, lacking the same level of recognition and loyalty that you have built with your brand.
How much does it cost to register trademark?
The costs associated with applying for and maintaining a trademark registration can vary based on several factors, such as the basis of your application and the number of classes of goods or services you wish to include. After submitting your application, you may encounter additional fees depending on the complexity and detail of your submission. However, generally, the base trademark application fee is $350.00 for each class of goods or services listed in your application.
How long does it take to obtain a trademark?
Several factors influence how long the trademark registration process will take. It is important to note that there is no guarantee that a trademark application will receive approval, as it may be rejected for various legal reasons. Typically, the registration process requires a timeframe of twelve (12) to eighteen (18) months.
How long does a trademark registration last?
A trademark registration will stay active as long as you file all necessary maintenance documents on time. Specifically, within five to six years after registering the trademark, you need to file a “Declaration of Use under Section 8.” Then, between the ninth and tenth year after registering the trademark, you need to file a “Declaration of Use and Application for Renewal under Section 8 and 9.” After that, you will need to file this same application every ten years. If you miss any of these filing deadlines, your trademark registration will be canceled and cannot be reinstated.
