Trademark Attorney
What is a trademark? Simply put, a trademark is an identifier of the origin or source of goods and/or services. Common examples of trademarks are brand names (e.g. Coca Cola for soda, Kodak for film, United for airlines, etc.), slogans that are used to identify products or services (e.g. I’m Lovin’ It for McDonalds, Finger Lickin’ Good for KFC, etc.), logos (e.g. the Nike swoosh, etc.) As this relates to your blog or bulletin board, perhaps you have a slogan or tag line, or the name of your blog which identify you and your blog. These are your trademarks, and can be valuable property.
The Law Office of Daniel Kirshner provides complete trademark search and trademark registration services in an expert and economical manner. As one of the United States’ foremost trademark law firms, we can help you in protecting your business name, brand and logo. Our services include, but are not limited to, a search of U.S. Trademark Office records of all registered, pending, expired, canceled or abandoned trademarks and service marks.
We can also have an in-house trademark attorney available to prepare the federal trademark application on your behalf. The legal fee is charged on a flat-fee basis, so you will never be surprised by any legal bills from our office. We have successfully obtained many hundreds of U.S. trademark registrations for our clients in nearly twenty years of practicing trademark law.
Do you really need to have a trademark attorney file an application to register your trademark? The simple answer is no, you are not required to hire an attorney to file an application to register a trademark with the USPTO. You are permitted to file an application yourself and the filing can be done electronically. The better question is this. Is it advisable to represent yourself at the USPTO? An experienced trademark attorney can advise you with respect to the particular needs of the case. Furthermore, in many cases, it ends up being less expensive to hire a trademark lawyer to file the application properly at the outset, than to pay the lawyer later to amend an application that was improperly filed. Furthermore, a properly filed application is more likely to result in a trademark registration that issues at an earlier date that an improperly filed application. Moreover, often, the Trademark Examiner prefers to deal with a trademark attorney rather than a pro se applicant who is not familiar with the law and the process and who tends to be more emotionally involved with the case. Finally, if your application is so filed sufficiently incorrectly, it may result in the application being denied and no registration resulting.
