We managed to secure our trademark in the US with the help of Gerben IP, which I thought would not be possible given the size and competitiveness of the market. Great communication and updates throughout the process, and amazing service. Thank you very much!

I was nineteen years old and starting my first business without much knowledge on the proper actions to take. I needed to trademark my brand's name due to a potential threat of it being taken. Josh, Eric, and the rest of their team were incredibly honest, trustworthy, and insightful. They patiently helped me through the entire process. A little more than a year later, and my trademark has just been approved and registered with the USPTO. Thank you Gerben IP, it was a pleasure to work with you. - M.L.

Gerben was reccomended through a trusted friend down here in Texas who has used them multiple times, and our experience using this team was first class as well. Very efficient and had a good strategy to register our trademark. They were always prompt with relaying updates through the process so you never questioned what was going on during the standard lengthy approval process. Thank you Eric and team.

Gerben IP is fantastic at what they do - intellectual property law. I have used them for about a dozen trademarks over the past 7 or 8 years now and each time they have been comprehensive in their research, swift in their deliverables and always acted with integrity and a focus on the best interest of me and my company. I cannot recommend them highly enough!

I am thoroughly impressed by Josh Gerben and his colleagues. They helped me through the detailed process of filing and my Trademark, which would have been an extremely stressful process for me to do alone. I could depend on them to contact me in a timely manner to keep all of the filings up to date, and CORRECT. I can't say enough positive about them. The whole team was quick to respond to my questions and made me feel secure in my choosing them.

We had applied for a trademark registration of our topical skincare product brand name through Gerben Law. We liked the flat fee structure. Josh was himself leading his capable team. When we received communication from USPTO not approving our application Gerben Law team represented us so well in the appeal that we succeeded in winning it. I would certainly recommend Gerben Law

Josh's firm is first rate. Professional, quick, very reasonably priced and extremely knowledgeable in this space. Trademarks are a pain for business owners to deal with. Josh takes the pain out of the process.

I cannot thank you enough for your work and guidance through this process. After having spoken to at least 5 other trademark attorneys and being told everything from "change your name right away before you get sued" to "it's best to just let this sit and fly under the radar for about 5 years before trying to get this trademarked" it is almost surreal that 1 year after starting the process with you my trademark is now in hand. Thank you!
