Benefits of Working with An Experienced Trademark Attorney
Your Trademark inquiry begins with Trademark Selection. Trademark Selection is a discussion about the strength of your proposed trademarks. Trademark strength is gauged on the following scale: Fanciful (Strongest), Arbitrary, Suggestive, Descriptive, and Generic (weakest/no protection).
A Trademark Search and Opinion Letter will be provided to you before we file any application, which assesses the strength of your mark. After the initial consultation, we search through the United States Patent Trademark Office’s (USPTO) trademark docket to see if there are any applied-for or registered trademarks that would stop yours from being approved, then follow up with a letter explaining our findings.
