Phoenix Trademark Litigation and Registration Lawyers
Millions of domestic and international firms operate in the United States, and differentiation can be difficult to achieve. Consumers are faced with a vast number of choices, and receive thousands of marketing messages each day from newspapers, Web sites, billboards, bumper stickers, television and many other sources.
It is important that your organization stands out with unique images, copy, services and products. Just as important, other companies need to follow legal guidelines in regard to your organization's trademarked property.
Experienced Trademark Litigation and Trademark Registration Attorneys.
The Law Office of Peter N. Greenfeld P. C. offers experienced trademark legal services, including:
- Registration of items with the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO)
- Negotiation and litigation services for trademark infringement
- Legal defense against charges of trademark infringement
- Drafting and review of trademark licensing agreements
Do you or does your business have a new product? Various items can be protected by trademark registration. In addition to commonly trademarked items such as logos, slogans and trade dress, items such as unique jewelry, clothing, pet toys and many more items are often eligible for protection. We can register your items for a reasonable fee.
Bear in mind that while there are many "do it yourself" trademark services and kits available on the Internet or elsewhere, hiring a trademark attorney to assist in the trademark registration process allows you the peace of mind you may not have going solo. Not all registrations runs smoothly if there are technical or other problems raised by the PTO examiner. And even a registered trademark can invite later litigation if another company suggests or can demonstrate that it has made prior use of the mark. Having an attorney on board from the beginning can alert you to certain problems and assist you down the road in protecting your valuable business asset. Losing your brand identity and goodwill associated with an established business years later may not be worth the few dollars saved upfront going without experienced trademark counsel.
Trademark disputes are not uncommon. It is illegal for another party to use or borrow significantly from your company's unique, trademarked materials. If a competitor's store front, trade dress, Web site, domain name, designs, name, colors, fonts or images are similar or identical to your trademarked property, we can draft a cease and desist letter, work to compel the company to halt its infringement and demand damages.
It is not always clear what elements of trademarked material are protected. If another organization has accused yours of infringing on its trademarks, we can meet with you to discuss the details of the case and provide legal defense, in court or with the trademark office.
