5 Ways An Intellectual Property Attorney Can Help you Register Your Trademark

CLEVELAND - March 29, 2013 - PRLog -- Want to get your trademark registered?

Trademark registration is not a complicated process, but it certainly needs a basic understanding of the law and the procedures. Therefore, it is imperative that you hire a well trained and experienced attorney who offers services related to trademark and copyright registration.

Again, finding an attorney is not a difficult task, yet you should ensure that the attorney you go with has intellectual property (IP) as one of his or her practice areas. A good attorney can help you in the following ways:

1.     The attorney will help you in finding a trademark name and a slogan for your product/ business and research any competition for that name.

2.     Then the attorney will help you in drafting your trademark application and insure you have the proper attachments and examples of the mark.

3.     The lawyer will ensure that the trademark application form is complete in all respects, and is in compliance with the United States Patent and Trademark Office standards. Any variations in the case based on whether the mark is a slogan, logo or product name, will be taken care by the attorney.

4.     The attorney will deal with the USPTO and will handle appeals, objections, and any other concerns regarding the legal prosecution of your application.

5.     The lawyer will ensure smooth filing and registration of your trademark. Also, the lawyer will help you in handling various situations such as obtaining a cease and desist notice for marks actively being infringed.

In summary, the lawyer will address all the issues and procedures related to trademark registration.
