Practice Area
Regardless of whether you are currently using the mark or intend to use it later, the best course of action is to apply for a trademark registration immediately. There are horror stories about marks that cannot be registered because another recently-opened business hundreds of miles away applied first. In these cases, clients who are prior users of a mark but did not apply for a registration have to initiate costly cancellation procedures to cancel a competitor’s registration. The cancellation procedure is essentially full litigation before the Patent and Trademark Office, complete with discovery and motion practice, which could have been avoided had the client filed first. We also defend our clients’ trademarks against claims of infringement brought by third parties.
