The firm's trademark experience includes contested proceedings before the USPTO's Trademark Trial and Appeal Board and trademark litigation in federal court under the Lanham Act, in addition to Georgia trademark and trade-name disputes. That litigation background shapes how applications are evaluated and prepared: a registration is valuable to the extent it can withstand the dispute it may one day anchor.
Services
- Clearance searches with a candid recommendation — including a recommendation against filing where the search results warrant it.
- Federal application package — a defined search, advice, and filing engagement. The standard attorney fee is $2,500; USPTO filing fees and third-party expenses are separate.
- Continued prosecution — substantive office actions, additional classes, statements of use, extensions, and other post-filing work are separately scoped. Ongoing hourly representation ordinarily begins with a $2,500 advance.
- TTAB oppositions and cancellations.
- Enforcement and defense — cease-and-desist strategy within a broader engagement, injunctive relief, and infringement litigation in state and federal court.
Scope matters: a trademark application fee does not promise registration and does not automatically include office actions, TTAB proceedings, enforcement, or litigation. Those services require a separate written scope.
