Trademarks
Our job is to work with your company to build and protect the assets that represent the quality and integrity of your business to customers– your trademarks. Branding strategies have never been more crucial to, or presented greater challenges for, modern businesses. We work with you at every stage from developing and selecting trademarks that are appropriate for your business objectives to registering and protecting those marks, in the U.S. and beyond.
With technology moving at breakneck speed, there are always new challenges and new opportunities for growth. We understand that there is no one-size-fits-all solution when it comes to branding, and we work with you to find the best strategy to fit your business. We take the time to get to know your business and provide practical advice that is tailored to your needs.
Even if your operations are limited to the United States, the global economy impacts you and your brands, and you need to be ready. Whether we are building and enforcing rights only in the U.S. or need to involve our global network of foreign associates in broader areas of the world, we have you covered.
We educate clients in trademark creation techniques to allow them to develop marks that are appropriate for their needs and objectives in each situation. Of course, we can assist in clearing trademarks on a national or global basis, but we also help develop registration strategies that match your objectives and your budget expectations.
We remain involved in developing and implementing trademark watching and enforcement strategies. We approach trademark enforcement with an eye to reaching a solution that best promotes your business. We seek to avoid unnecessary expense and delay, but we are always ready to ensure that your brands are protected.

Copyrights
Whether it involves a web site, promotional materials, graphic designs, photos, packaging or software, your company faces copyright issues every day. Your business will frequently find itself both engaged in creating original works of authorship and needing to use works created by others. We can assist you in all of your copyright needs, beyond whether and how to register a copyright in your work. We can work with you to develop copyright compliance policies for your organization, license your copyrights or those of others, talk with advertising agencies about ownership of new materials, navigate inevitable copyright disputes and analyze thorny issues of “fair use.”

Domain Names
It is no longer enough to put a “.com” behind your brand name and consider it done. With an ever-increasing array of Top-Level Domains where cybersquatters and scammers might seek to benefit from your hard-earned reputation, it is essential to adopt an appropriate strategy to protect your brands and reputation online without becoming overwhelmed.
We counsel clients in the clearance and adoption of suitable domain names and help develop and implement enforcement strategies. Where necessary, we coordinate domain name investigations and acquisitions or manage the resolution of domain disputes.

Licensing and Transactions
IP assets represent some of your company’s most valuable assets, and it just makes sense that those assets will be a significant part of transactions. We are regularly involved in conducting due diligence in preparation for the acquisition or divestment of IP, as well as in maximizing revenue through licensing programs.

Like any other asset, your IP has a natural lifecycle. We remain engaged with our clients throughout that lifecycle, to ensure that appropriate decisions are made to maintain and maximize the value of your portfolio and to gain the best possible return on your investment.

Counterfeiting and Enforcement
Any successful brand will inevitably encounter imitators, and it is essential to protect your customers and the value of your brand by taking measures to curb counterfeiting, grey market importations and infringement. We stand ready to work with you to find the best course of action in each challenge that arises and to preserve the value of your hard-earned reputation.
We help make sure that your approach to enforcement is consistent with your brand image and that all of your actions and communications amplify and reinforce that image.
