Our Trademark practice

---

With our trademark practice, we provide initial clearance searches and advisory opinions regarding the selection of specific trademarks, assessing important factors such as the likelihood of 3rd party claims for unfair competition or infringement as well as the likelihood of success in obtaining federal trademark protection through the USPTO. 

We also assist clients in all steps of filing for, and obtaining, federal protection including filing both In-Use and Intent-to-Use trademark applications, obtaining international trademark protection, cancellation and opposition proceedings with the Trademark Trial and Appeal Board, and responding to office actions and final rejection appeals. 

Obtaining legal protection is only the beginning of your journey in developing and preserving your trademarks. Post registration, we assist clients with monitoring the USPTO for competing marks seeking registration and representation in proceedings in front of the Trademark Trial and Appeal Board to oppose registration of those marks. 

As part of our continuing effort and ongoing commitment to protect the our clients' valuable brand(s), Fitzpatrick PC offers its own comprehensive trademark monitoring package, which we use to help protect the trademark rights you worked so hard to get. 

If necessary, we will send detailed, high quality cease and desist letters to infringers until we achieve satisfactory results.
