Trademarks and Service Marks
Trademarks and service marks are words, names, symbols, devices or any combination of these items that are used in trade to distinguish one source of goods or services from other sources of goods or services. Trademarks and service marks prevent the public from being confused as to the source of the goods or services.
We assist clients in safeguarding their trademarks and service marks by:
- Conducting availability searches and rendering opinions concerning registrability of trademarks and service marks.
- Preparing, filing and prosecuting applications for registration of trademarks and service marks before the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, and state offices.
- Maintaining registrations by filing Section 8 and 15 affidavits and renewal applications.
- Obtaining foreign trademark and service mark registrations through an established network of associates worldwide.
- Representing clients in trademark opposition and cancellation proceedings before the Trademark Trial and Appeal Board in the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office.
