Trademark & Intellectual Property Counsel

 Your brand name, logo and creative work are often your most valuable assets. We protect them from the first clearance search through registration and every renewal after, and we handle licensing when you want your IP to earn revenue.

Trademarks

  • Clearance: searches and opinions on whether a proposed name or logo is available.

  • Filing and prosecution: preparing U.S. and international applications and responding to USPTO office actions through registration.

  • Maintenance and renewals: tracking deadlines and filing maintenance declarations and renewals so registrations stay alive.

  • Enforcement: monitoring and enforcement strategy, and recording registrations with U.S. Customs to block counterfeit imports.

  • Portfolio management: managing domestic and international portfolios and advising on branding strategy.

Common questions

How long does trademark registration take?

About 10 months on average from filing to a final decision, according to the USPTO. It can take longer if the examiner raises issues.

When do I need to renew?

A maintenance declaration is due between the 5th and 6th year after registration, then a combined declaration and renewal every 10 years.

Can I join Amazon Brand Registry before my trademark registers?

Yes. Amazon accepts either an active registered trademark or a pending application, as long as it's a word mark or a design mark with words, letters or numbers, from a government trademark office. The trademark owner must be the one who applies. Amazon's IP Accelerator program is optional. (Amazon)
