We provide
our clients with a full range of intellectual property services relating
to copyright, trademark and trade secret matters. These services include,
but are not limited to, analysis, licensing, litigation, monitoring,
and prosecution:

|
Trademark Analysis and Opinions - We meet with our clients to
review all material for which trademark protection is sought. We
then provide our clients with an in-depth analysis on the trademark
protections available for the particular materials. This may include
common law trademark protection already existing or registration
with appropriate state trademark offices or the United States Patent
and Trademark Office ("PTO"). Where trademark protection
might not be available for certain materials, we explain to our
clients the reasons as well as the likelihood of success in obtaining
registered or protectable trademarks. In addition, we provide our
clients with recommendations and methods to increase the protectability
of the particular marks.
Trademark Licensing - We provide our clients with complete
trademark licensing services. Where our clients seek to use a particular
work subject to another's trademark, we gladly facilitate, where
possible, the license to enable such use and negotiate the relevant
terms relating to such a license. Similarly, where others seek to
use the works of our clients, we facilitate and negotiate the profitable
license of our clients' works to others. Where our clients wish
to sell or purchase intellectual property assets, we negotiate these
transactions on behalf of our clients.
Trademark Monitoring - We monitor our clients' trademarks
to protect against infringement. Where such infringement does occur,
we actively and aggressively pursue those responsible (see IP
Litigation).
Trademark Prosecution - When trademark registration is sought
at either or both the state and federal levels for particular materials,
our experienced attorneys prepare and submit the appropriate applications
working with the clients to ensure all requisite information and
exhibits will be properly submitted.
