Once your mark is cleared for application, our firm will prepare and submit your application to the United States Patent Trademark Office (USPTO) to begin the process of securing your federal trademark registration.

This is the fun part. Once your mark is registered, it is incumbent on you to protect your mark and tp stop infringers from using your mark or a confusingly similar mark. Enforcement actions range from demand letters to TTAB opposition proceedings to infringement litigation.

Trademarks must be used to maintain their registration, and registrations must be renewed to ensure the registration stays active. Our firm will monitor your registrations and complete the necessary maintenance paperwork to ensure your registration remains valid.
