trademarks
When our clients select a word, design, or slogan that identifies their goods or services, we perform searches to ensure no previously registered or conflicting materials exist. We can help you register your trademark in the United States or internationally. By starting out correctly before the launch of your brand, we can avoid many headaches down the road. Doing it the right way not only avoids confusion in the marketplace but also may avoid legal action against you.
