Trademark Prosecution
Our attorneys and staff handle the entire trademark process from filing applications, responding to office actions, and defending against oppositions, through to registration and beyond by maintenance of registered marks. Further, we assist clients in developing a trademark strategy which is tailored to their needs for protection, determining which marks would be best suited for registration.
