Trademarks for U.S. Clients

Gavel

When consumers can quickly and accurately identify the source of your goods and services, strong brand recognition is established.  Trademarks build that brand recognition and create loyalty between the trademark holder and consumers.  About $14.3 trillion of goods and services were produced in the United States in 2009.  Do your goods and services have strong brand recognition?

A trademark is a word, phrase, symbol or design, or a combination of words, phrases, symbols or designs, that identifies and distinguishes the source of the goods of one party from those of others.  Anyone who, without consent of the trademark holder, uses the trademark or uses a mark which would likely cause consumer confusion can be liable in a civil action.

Urban Thier Federer & Chinnery, P.A. can prepare, file, and prosecute your trademark application before the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).  The USPTO examines trademark applications, and if your invention meets certain statutory requirements, the USPTO will federally register your mark.  After registration, our attorneys can manage, police, and enforce your trademark for the life of the mark.
