I have been a client of Dunlap Bennett & Ludwig with multiple brilliant (IMHO at least) trademark and patent issues (all successful), and I cannot say enough about Alex Butterman, Esq in particular; definitely worth a call.
Mike M.
Daniel’s [Davis’] insight and approach with the appeal resulted in a trademark. We cannot thank him enough. He is KEY and CRITICAL to the success of this new business venture. We are forever grateful.
Jim 'X' Lucas
They are spot on. Engaged when you need to talk, transparent with process and procedure. I worked with them for a Trademark. It's a lot harder than you think but they were there for me the entire way.

Why do you need a trademark registration?

Trademarks protect your brand identity and help you unlock valuable market opportunities. Here are just a few reasons to consider obtaining a trademark:

Establishing Brand Identity

A trademark helps to establish and protect your brand’s unique identity, making it easier for customers to recognize and trust your products or services.

Preventing
Imitation

Protect your brand from being copied or used without your permission. A trademark grants you exclusive rights to your brand name, logo, and other identifiers.

Building Customer Loyalty

A trademark can help build customer loyalty by ensuring that customers can easily identify and differentiate your products from those of your competitors.

Expanding Market Reach

Trademarks can enhance your market position, making it easier to extend your brand into new markets.

Business
Asset

The trademark registration is property that can be sold, licensed, and used to secure a loan. It should be valued when assessing the value of a business.

Frequently ASked Questions

What is the process for filing a trademark?
The process involves several key steps:
  • a. You provide detailed information about your brand to an experienced trademark attorney.
  • b. The attorney conducts a thorough search to assess the availability and registrability of your trademark.
  • c. The attorney drafts a trademark application.
  • d. The attorney files the completed trademark application.
  • e. The trademark office examines your application, and your attorney addresses any objections or rejections.
There are three primary types of trademarks:
  • a. Word Marks: Protect the text elements of a brand.
  • b. Design Marks: Protect the visual elements of a brand.
  • c. Combined Marks: Protect both text and design elements together.
You should file a trademark application as soon as you have a brand name, logo, or design that you want to protect. This secures your priority date with the trademark office, preventing others from claiming rights to your brand.
Every application is different, but you should gather this information:
  • a. The name of your brand or slogan
  • b. A detailed description of the goods or services associated with your brand
  • c. The names and addresses of all applicants
  • d. A mailing address for all correspondence
  • e. A high-quality image of your logo or design, if applicable
The timeline for obtaining a trademark can vary but typically ranges from 6 months to a year or longer. Factors affecting the timeline include the complexity of the trademark, backlog at the trademark office, and any challenges encountered during prosecution.
To qualify for a trademark, your brand must be distinctive, not confusingly similar to existing trademarks, and used in commerce. Your application must contain a clear and detailed description of the mark and the goods or services associated with it.
It’s possible to file a trademark application without an attorney. However, working with a qualified trademark attorney offers many advantages. An attorney can provide valuable expertise, navigate legal complexities, and maximize the chances of obtaining a granted trademark.
Yes, owning a trademark grants you exclusive rights to your brand, including the ability to license or sell it to others.
After a trademark is granted, you have the exclusive right to use the trademark in commerce for the goods or services specified in the registration. You can also use the ® symbol to indicate that your brand is registered.
