We have an active trademark practice involving all aspects of trademark prosecution, registration and litigation. Our trademark Attorneys provide a range of services which include: obtaining registrations for trademarks and trade dress in the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office; conducting oppositions and cancellations on behalf of our Clients before the Trademark Trial and Appeals Board; procuring international trademark protection in nearly every foreign country; negotiating and drafting various trademark agreements such as licensing and assignments, as well as trademark compliance in franchise related agreements; maintaining, monitoring and renewing trademark registrations. In addition, our trademark Attorneys are often retained to provide trademark infringement and clearance/freedom to operate opinions.
An array of companies and business, ranging from emerging up-starts to multi-million dollar enterprises, routinely select us to manage and oversee their trademark portfolio. Indeed, we take pride that our Attorneys are chosen to act as General Trademark Counsel to a variety of industry leading companies and organizations.
Through our international network of trusted foreign agents, we are capable of obtaining international trademark protection by registering trademarks in such foreign countries including but not limited to China, Korea, Vietnam, Thailand, Malaysia, and Canada. Because of this, our trademark practice is not limited by boundaries and is global in nature. Whether it is by filing individual foreign applications or via the Madrid Protocol, our trademark Attorneys have the experience to navigate both the U.S. and international trademark laws and procedures.
Trademark Litigation
Our Attorneys have wide-ranging experience in prosecuting and defending against trademark lawsuits before the United States District Courts, the United States Court of Appeals, and the World Intellectual Property Organization. In seeking to meet the goals of our Clients, we are meticulous in our analysis of infringement. We carefully evaluate the distinctiveness of the trademark at issue, its use, and whether a likelihood of confusion exists between the trademark and the competitor's trademark. We help our Clients establish their trademark lawsuit goals, which may be to successfully defend against a trademark infringement lawsuit and preserve their rights to use certain trademarks, or to pursue a trademark infringement lawsuit against infringers and stop (enjoin) those infringers from infringing the trademark, require the infringers to disgorge their profits attributable to the trademark infringement, pay our Client's losses, and require the infringers to pay our Client's legal fees and costs, and in some cases, triple damages, for any willful trademark infringement.
We constantly re-evaluate the possible results and risks of any trademark infringement lawsuit, and communicate those possible results and risks to the Client on a regular basis. Moreover, our Attorneys adhere to the Ten Commandments of Litigation, which we developed solely for the benefit of our Clients.
We have experience handling cases alleging, among other things, infringement of registered and unregistered trademarks, including word marks, design marks, trade dress, and slogans; improperly registered trademarks; dilution of famous trademarks; violations of the Anti-Cybersquatting Piracy Act of 1999; and, unfair competition claims under the Lanham Act and under state law.
