Three Steps We’ve Used to Register 6,500+ Trademarks
Step 1: Comprehensive Trademark Search
Once you complete our engagement form, we will conduct a comprehensive federal, state and common law trademark search. Our search of federal and state trademark databases is done utilizing software provided by Corsearch. This is an industry leading trademark search software used by the largest law firms in the world. Our search works to identify any potential issue with your desired trademark prior to making a trademark filing.
Step 2: Trademark Attorney Consultation
Within 7-10 days of commencing work, we will return the trademark search results for your review. You can then set up a time to talk to one of our attorneys about the search results and any other questions you have about the trademark registration process. In the event that our search uncovers a problem, we offer a complimentary second search on a different trademark.
Step 3: Trademark Application Filed
Our experienced trademark attorneys will prepare your trademark application for your review and approval. Having drafted and successfully registered over 6,500 trademarks since 2008, our attorneys understand the intricacies of a US trademark application and will ensure your application is drafted to give you the best chance of approval possible.
U.S. Based Intellectual Property Lawyers
Our IP Attorneys work with businesses & individuals to secure protection for trademarks, copyrights and patents.
Intellectual property covers anything that originates in someone’s mind, such as literary works, artistic pieces, inventions, and names, symbols, images, and designs used in commerce. Protection for this property includes copyright, industrial designs, patents and trademarks.
Intellectual Property Protection: Trademark, Copyright, or Patent?
The type of protection you need depends on what it is you are trying to protect. A copyright protects artistic or literary work, while a patent protects an invention. If you would like to protect words, phrases, symbols, or designs that represent a company or goods offered by a party, you’ll need a trademark or service mark.
Intellectual property lawyers can help you decide what kind of protection you need, help you put your protection into place, defend it, and maintain it as needed. That being said, Gerben IP was built to specialize in one area of intellectual property law: trademark law.
Getting Started With an Intellectual Property / IP Lawyer and Trademark Law
While you should start the process of registering your trademark as soon as possible, the best time to get started is before you begin actively using and building equity in your potential trademark. Intellectual property lawyer Josh Gerben and Gerben IP can help you search federal, state, and common law trademarks to ensure your trademark are not already registered.
Gerben IP’s intellectual property (IP) attorneys will help you draft your trademark application and file it with the US Government. We will stay with you every step of the way, helping with any office actions, opposition proceedings, or appeals, until the trademark registration process is complete.
Maintaining and Protecting Your Intellectual Property Rights
Once you’ve registered your trademark, you are legally obligated to maintain those rights. Gerben IP offers a number of intellectual property services to help you do just that.
