We regularly file applications with the USPTO and outside the US using the Madrid protocol, European Community trademark, and numerous foreign agents.
We guide clients in negotiating coexistence agreements, and through trademark oppositions and cancellations before the Trademark Trial and Appeal Board (TTAB). We also represent clients in trademark, trade dress, unfair competition, and false advertising litigations in various jurisdictions throughout the US.
