Intellectual Property Legal Services (Trademarks, Patents)

Your Name. Your Ideas. Your Work. Legally Yours.

Your brand and your ideas are often worth more than everything else your business owns — and they're the easiest things for someone else to take.

Our IP attorneys help you register, protect, and enforce your trademarks, copyrights, and inventions — so the business you're building stays yours.

Your Brand Is an Asset. Unprotected, It's a Liability.

Every day you operate without registered IP, you risk building value in a name someone else can claim. Our attorneys make sure what you create — and the goodwill you earn — belongs to you on paper, not just in practice.

Frequently Asked Questions

I registered my LLC — isn't my business name already protected?

No — this is the most common IP misunderstanding. LLC registration only stops another company from registering the identical name in your state. It gives you no brand protection: a competitor in another state (or online) can use your name freely, and someone who federally trademarks it first can even force you to rebrand. Only a registered trademark protects the name as a brand nationwide.

Trademark, copyright, or patent — which one do I need?

Trademarks protect brand identifiers (names, logos, slogans). Copyrights protect creative works (content, designs, software, photos). Patents protect inventions and processes. Many businesses need more than one — a product company might trademark its name, copyright its packaging art, and patent its mechanism. A consultation sorts out what applies to yours.

How long does trademark registration take, and can I use the name meanwhile?

USPTO registration typically takes 8–14 months, but your priority date is the day you file — which is why filing early matters. Yes, you can (and should) keep using the name while the application is pending, and you can use ™ immediately; ® comes after registration.

Someone is already using a name similar to mine. What now?

It depends on who was first, where they operate, and how similar the marks and industries are. Sometimes you can coexist, sometimes you should rebrand before investing further, and sometimes they're actually infringing on you. This is exactly the question to resolve before spending more on marketing — an attorney can assess it quickly.

How much does it cost to trademark a name with an attorney?

Attorney-handled registrations are usually flat-fee — covering the clearance search, application, and standard prosecution — plus USPTO government fees per class. You'll know the full cost before filing. Your consultation is free, and payment plans are available.

Someone is copying my product or brand. What can I actually do?

Usually more than you think: attorney cease-and-desist letters, marketplace takedowns (Amazon, Etsy, app stores), domain disputes, and — with registered IP — federal claims with real damages. Most infringement stops at the letter stage when it comes from an attorney. The stronger your registrations, the faster it ends.

Protect It Before Someone Else Profits From It.

Every day your brand and ideas go unregistered is a day someone else can claim them. Start with a free consultation.

Real Reviews By Real Persons

Trademarked just in time

Six months after my attorney registered our trademark, a bigger company launched a product with almost the same name. Because our registration was already on file, their lawyers backed off after one letter from ours. If I'd stayed on the 'I'll do it later' plan, we'd have been the ones rebranding.

Arianna Woodard, NC, Intellectual Property

DIY filing rejected, attorney got it through

My first trademark application through a filing website was refused for likelihood of confusion, and the website was no help at all. The IP attorney rewrote the description, argued the office action, and got it registered. Should have started there — it cost less than doing it twice.

Tim Connolly, AZ, Intellectual Property

Amazon copycats gone in two weeks

Knockoffs of our best-selling product showed up on Amazon under a nearly identical brand name. Because we had a registered trademark, my attorney filed takedowns and sent cease-and-desist letters, and the listings were gone in two weeks. Registration paid for itself in one incident.

Carmela Favela, CA, Intellectual Property

Found out I didn’t own my own logo

A consultation revealed the freelancer who designed our logo legally still owned it — there was no IP assignment in our old agreement. My attorney fixed the paperwork, secured the copyright, and registered the trademark. I had no idea how exposed we were until someone qualified looked.
