Our attorneys file original federal trademark applications for registration and maintain issued trademark registrations for a number of domestic and international clients. We have extensive experience in all aspects of domestic and international trademark law, and related intellectual property issues, including IP enforcement and litigation, domain name registrations, trade dress and unfair competition.
We counsel our clients on trademark searching, filing for registrations, trademark prosecution, and renewal. We assist with assignment and transfer of trademark registrations, provide due diligence reviews and draft legal memoranda and opinions of counsel. We advise clients on seeking trademark searches often through third party search firms, filing trademark applications, seeking coexistence and handling opposition and cancellation proceedings, as well as appeals before the trademark trial and appeal board (TTAB), enforcing, litigating and negotiating disputes, handling licensing transactions, and maintaining trademark registrations. Our attorneys include Ralph P. Albrecht, a USPTO registered Patent Attorney, who has filed hundreds of trademark applications to registration, Jody Reed, who specializes in technology licensing and related IP business transactions, and John Bonello, with vast experience litigating IP issues for our clients. Our attorneys work closely with an extensive international network of trademark lawyers on obtaining international protection via Paris Convention direct filings, regional filings like the European community trademark (CTM), and Madrid Protocol foreign trademark filings.
