Top Qualities of the Best Trademark Lawyers
Our clients rely on us for trusted legal advice and guidance regarding their business, healthcare and trademark needs. Whether you are starting a new company or looking to protect your intellectual property rights, we can assist you with trademark application and registration, as well as infringement defense and enforcement.
A trademark is a word, name, symbol or design that distinguishes your products from those of competitors and helps consumers associate your goods with your brand. It’s an essential part of your company’s brand identity and can make a significant difference in the success of your business. As a result, it is important to ensure that your trademark is protected and used only in association with your goods or services.
The best trademark lawyer in Dallas can help you protect your mark and ensure that it is used appropriately. We will help you register your mark, pursue infringement actions, and defend against false advertising claims. As a reputable firm in the area of intellectual property, our lawyers have extensive experience protecting trademarks for businesses of all sizes across numerous industries.
In addition to providing trademark registration services, our firm can also assist you with copyright and patent applications, as well as appeals of initial denials. If you have received a notice of refusal from the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO), it is critical to have an experienced attorney evaluate your case and prepare a strong response. An effective response must address the specific issues raised by the examiner and provide persuasive arguments, supporting evidence and sound legal reasoning to overcome the objections or refusal.
One of the most common reasons that trademark applications are denied is that they do not include all of the required information. An application must contain the applicant’s name and address, the types of goods and services for which the mark is being used, and a description of the graphical elements of the mark. If the mark is a graphic, you must provide a high-quality drawing.
Another reason why an application may be rejected is that the mark does not sufficiently distinguish the applicant’s goods or services from those of others in the marketplace. For example, a mark that is descriptive or suggests a feature of the product can be rejected by the USPTO if it does not “capture the distinctiveness of the product.”
Trademark enforcement is an ongoing process, and our attorneys will monitor your marks and take action when necessary to protect your intellectual property rights. This may include sending cease and desist letters to prevent unauthorized use of your mark or filing a trademark infringement lawsuit against a competitor that is using your mark without permission.
