Experience matters. With over 5,000 Trademark applications filed, our attorneys make sure the trademark
application is submitted properly from the outset, thereby reducing the number of actions issued by the USPTO and
expediting the application’s time to allowance
With years of experience, we simulate
the trademark Examining Attorney’s
thought process in brainstorming
several variations for each mark,
running several searches at no
additional cost as Examiners will first
consider existing marks that are
identical. From there, searches are
performed for trademarks that are
similar in appearance, sound and
commercial connotation, including
our expert legal analysis and client
consultation with every search. This
often includes strategic business
advice and recommendations prior
to filing the trademark application.
Our firm’s vast experience in
trademark filing goes beyond words –
William Goldman has been
recognized as a “Top-10” USPTO filer,
representing clients in all 50 states
and internationally. During his career,
Mr. Goldman has filed over 5,000
trademark applications, including
those currently pending and
registered for clients.
Once the mark has been approved for
registration, we handle maintenance
filings and renewals upon request.
Ultimately, policing of trademark
infringement and enforcement of
rights is the trademark owner’s
responsibility. Upon detection of a
target, we’ll write powerful cease and
desist letters on the owner’s behalf,
following up with legal action if
necessary or negotiating favorable
settlement, including potentially –
lucrative licensing deals. We’ll also file
and defend inter partes TTAB disputes,
namely, Opposition and Cancellation
proceedings. Finally, we’ll file and
defend against Amazon seller claims
as an area of TM practice that has
been steadily increasing in
importance.
