We are the geeks who lose sleep protecting your brand ® 

WHAT WE DO

TRADEMARK CLEARANCE

We search availability of numerous databases not only for exact matches, but also for other similar marks that may be lurking out there and come back to bite you.  We evaluate your proposed mark to minimize the risk associated with creating, using, or expanding the market or geographic area of your brand.  Feel confident that infringement risk is low. 

TRADEMARK REGISTRATION

Our focus is registering your unique company name, product or service name, tag line or logo with the United States Patent and Trademark Office.  We have a high rate of success because of our unique process and attention to your brand.

​

​

​

TRADEMARK PROTECTION & MONITORING

Ensure your valuable trademarks are monitored and enforced with our streamlined and cost-efficient range of trademark watching services.  We also ensure that your advertising is compliant with Federal Trade Commission regulations, so you're not making promises or statements that you shouldn't.

SHUT DOWN FRAUD

We strategically enforce and defend your brand against copycats, from sending cease and desist letters, to opposition or cancellation proceedings with the Trademark Trial and Appeal Board, or escalating matters to Federal court.

​

​​

​

TRADEMARK DISPUTES

If you are involved in a trademark dispute with a competitor or someone who claims that you're copying their product, company or service name, we are here to represent you and protect your rights.  We handle matters with the Trademark Trial and Appeal Board (TTAB) and Federal Court.​​

​

ADVERTISING COMPLIANCE

If you advertise your products or services to the general public, there are Federal Trade Commission (FTC) regulations you need to comply with!  We can advise you on compliance and represent you in matters before the FTC or the Better Business Bureau's National Advertising Division (NAD).
