Trademark Law is the branch of intellectual property that governs the use of a symbol, word, logo, slogan, design, or domain name, and uniquely distinguishes it from the services of another. Trademarks last ten years, with the option to continuously renew for additional ten-year terms. A critical component of establishing a business, a trademark, when utilized strategically, has the potential to become nearly synonymous with the product or services it represents. For example, in much of society, Kleenex and tissue are used nearly interchangeably. Our attorneys can assist in all stages of the trademark, from clearing the proposed mark, preparing the application, prosecuting the mark, to monitoring it once approved. We help small business prosper by providing the framework for success.
