USPTO Trademark Applications
We prepare and file trademark applications with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office and guide clients through the prosecution process from start to finish.

We handle cease and desist demands and disputes to enforce your rights and address infringement claims.
Licensing and Brand Expansion
We draft and negotiate trademark license agreements and advise on strategies for expanding your brand into new products, services, and markets.
International Trademark Protection
We coordinate with foreign counsel and use international systems such as the Madrid Protocol to secure trademark protection across borders.
How do I know if my brand is available to use and register?
We conduct clearance searches and provide risk assessments so you can move forward with confidence.
What happens if the USPTO refuses my trademark application?
We respond to Office Actions and provide legal arguments to overcome refusals whenever possible.
How can I stop someone else from using my brand name?
We enforce your rights through demand letters, negotiations, and when necessary, legal proceedings.
Do I need to register my trademark internationally?
If you sell abroad or plan to expand internationally, we help you secure foreign registrations through cost-effective strategies.
