Learn more about the different types of cases we handle:
Intellectual PropertyA courtesy preliminary consultation will allow us to learn about your business, and your intellectual property needs. We can determine what types of intellectual property protection may benefit your business. We will provide an overview of the process or the transaction, and discuss your budget relative to the costs of acquiring certain intellectual property protection.
Trademark LawOur trademark services include conducting courtesy preliminary searches and courtesy consultations. Once we can clear the mark on the preliminary level, we will recommend conducting a full search. If the proposed trademark clears after conducting a full search then, the next step is filing a trademark application at the United States Patent & Trademark Office (USPTO). Our New York trademark lawyers will prosecute the application on your behalf. Once the certificate of registration issues, we will provide you with instructions for maintaining your trademark rights and for filing mandatory post registration documents with the USPTO. We can assist our clients with litigation matters at the Trademark Trial and Appeal Board or in federal court. Also, we can file trademark assignments at the USPTO, send Cease and Desist letters on behalf of trademark owners, or prepare Trademark Licensing Agreements.
Copyright RegistrationSome clients will benefit from both trademark and copyright registration. Once original work or material is created, copyright ownership will vest under common law, but registration is a critical step in the process. Should there be copyright infringement, a copyright owner must have a copyright registration issued by the United States Copyright Office to access the courts and receive damages. Therefore, filing a copyright application is critical to enforcing your rights as a copyright owner in the future.
Domain Name DisputesDomain name disputes may arise when a third party registers your trademark in their domain name or incorporates a confusingly similar term in their domain name. This can create a likelihood of confusion between the domain name and the trademark. This is problematic when the third party maintains the domain and uses it to attract Internet users to competitive websites, or attempts to sell the domain to the trademark owner at an inflated price. It may be necessary to file a complaint pursuant to the Uniform Domain Name Dispute Resolution Policy (UDRP), so that the domain can be transferred to the trademark owner or to cancel the domain registration.
Corporate ClientsWe represent corporations and companies of all sizes. We will work with your organization to tailor our services to accommodate both your company's legal needs and your company's budget. We also work with of counsel attorneys who will provide guidance on the patentability requirements for inventions.
