Trademark

The scope of our trademark work is broad. We counsel clients from diverse industries on matters including evaluating the strength of proposed names and marks, clearing and registering marks, anti-counterfeiting, trademark enforcement, acquiring domain names, managing trademark portfolios worldwide and litigation. Our trademark attorneys practice before the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, the U.S. Trademark Trial and Appeal Board and in courts of general jurisdiction. In addition, we support our clients in negotiating licenses, consent agreements, assignments, purchases and sales, conducting intellectual property audits and due diligence investigations as well as developing ownership structures to permit shared uses of the same trademark and to resolve tax and transfer pricing issues.

Our large group of trademark attorneys has unusual depth. We also have a fully computerized trademark administration department. Staffed by experienced trademark administrators knowledgeable in U.S. and international trademark practice, our department manages more than 50,000 trademark records and cost effectively administers international registration programs. In conjunction with our carefully selected network of correspondents in virtually every country, our trademark practice effectively handles our clients' needs around the world.
