Trademark Registration
Mr. Kirshner offers a flat fee service to search the Federal Trademark Register and offer an opinion as to the availability of a mark, as well as preparation and filing of an application to register the mark with the United States Patent and Trademark Office.
The flat fee for this service is $350.00.
- Although protection is available for trademarks under state law, a higher degree of protection is afforded through registration of the mark in the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office.
- Federal registration allows the owner of the mark to display the familiar ® symbol thereby putting others on notice of trademark rights.
- Trademark rights are no longer restricted to state boundaries; a first user of a federally registered mark is entitled to nationwide protection.
- Federal registration grants the trademark owner access to federal court. In causes of action for trademark infringement of federally registered marks, profits, damages, and costs of the law suit are recoverable and triple damages and attorney’s fees are available.
- A federal registration may be grounds for stopping importation of goods bearing an infringing trademark.
