Pre-empting Trademark Infringement
While the internet and electronic communication have made it easier to conduct trademark searches, the potential for trademark infringement in different countries and states is an issue small and medium-sized businesses still face. We conduct international and domestic trademark searches to prevent trademark infringement or potential problems in similarity of design.
In cases where a company already has a registered trademark, conducting a search may protect a logo or design from others that have unintentionally appropriated elements similar in nature. When infringement is evident, we take appropriate and immediate action to protect your rights and intellectual property.
