Trademarks

Trademark services include counseling, searches, preparation and registration of applications, and licensing.

A trademark is a word, symbol, logo, phrase, or design, or a combination of words, phrases, symbols or designs, that identifies and distinguishes the source of the goods between one party from those of another party.

A service mark is the same as a trademark, except that it identifies and distinguishes the source of a service rather than a product. However, the term "trademark" is generally used to refer to both trademarks and service marks.

These services include:

Trademark Search.

Simply put, searching a mark for use and registration prior to filing is like buying insurance.

It is best to search upfront to give you a much better chance of avoiding unnecessary trademark litigation later.

Registration.

Both federal and State registration is available.

Please ask George Williamson about his competitive lump-sum rates for trademark registration.

Licensing.

The process of building a strong brand may include a license agreement so that others have the right to use your mark. He will work with you to develop an appropriate license agreement for your mark, and, if requested will negotiate the right for others to use your mark when appropriate.
