Protecting Your Trademarks with Our Business and Trademark Attorneys

You have worked hard to build your business, so it makes sense to protect it. This should include protecting your company’s identity, brands, and any other assets. Our team at Buche & Associates, P.C. can help you learn where your trademark rights exists, what limitations are present, and how to aggressively protect your company through carefully crafted trademark strategies.

Trademark Registration

Are you ready to trademark your company’s name or take steps to protect your business’s branding? If so, our team at Buche & Associates, P.C. can help you to achieve these goals. This includes helping you to identify trademarkable assets, and select trademarking strategies most likely to secure strong registrations. We can help you select and search names that are less likely to cause conflicts with other businesses. We can also help you to register your trademark with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, giving you the legal protection you need. If you need international registration of your trademark, we can also help you in that area.

Trademarks are often cornerstones of building solid businesses. Trademark portfolios can enhance the value of your business and increase the likelihood of stopping would be competitors from trading on your reputation. Registered trademarks are useful for stopping counterfeiting, stopping infringing imports, and stopping use of your brands for online shopping and across sales platforms such as Amazon®, eBay®, Etsty®, etc. If you have a registered trademark, it will make it easier to remove cyber squatters from URLs and other online search engines where they might try to edge in on your market share.

Unlike many of the popular discount “filing services” that take your money and file a trademark application that is likely to get rejected (with little thought of the competitive landscape), our attorneys take the time to look at developing real trademark strategies. Because we are experienced trademark attorneys, we know in advance many of the pitfalls to registration, and can avoid them. If you care about your brands, you should know that taking the cheapest route can often cost you more later. You may get exactly what you pay for. For this reason, we do not endeavor to compete with those sub-par filing services with little to no attorney oversight. We know full well, from fixing mistakes of some of those services, the consequences that poor trademark selection strategies can have in terms of expense and on enforcement efforts later. Our firm focuses instead on providing real trademark legal services, providing a true value to our clients, and for reasonable prices.
