Trademark Lawyer Queens, NY

Trademarks protect things that differentiate your brand. Common things to trademark are:

• Brand names and words
• Logos and symbols
• Colors
• Scents
• Slogans and phrases
• Shapes and packages (pertaining to products)

To qualify for a trademark, it must be distinct, used in commerce, and serve as a recognizable symbol to consumers. For example, the Nike “swoosh” helps shoppers identify Nike products from other athletic brands. If it is generic, like the word “book,” or is similar to an existing trademark, your application will be denied.

The process to register a trademark starts with research. Seeking legal counsel is advised, as our attorneys have access to federal and state databases that catalogue trademarks. We will confirm whether your intellectual property qualifies and whether it infringes on another trademark. Our team assesses your brand, making strategic recommendations on critical IP to protect.

Then, we proceed with preparing and filing the necessary paperwork with the United States Patent and Trademark Office. To achieve approval, additional actions may be required. We handle the communications with the USPTO, respond promptly, and craft arguments that support your petition.

Once the trademark is registered, our Queens trademark lawyer takes over management and enforcement. If another brand uses your trademark without permission, we send cease and desist letters and proceed with litigation if necessary. It can be profitable to license your trademark to other companies. Our attorney assists with developing these agreements, making sure that your best interests are prioritized.

Why Experience Matters in Trademark Cases

Registering a trademark is a complicated process. A simple mistake can cause delays. In a highly competitive marketplace, extending the application process could allow another brand to claim your intellectual property. Failing to consult legal counsel before proceeding can increase the risk of lawsuits. Even if infringement is unintentional, the trademark owner could be entitled to compensation.
