Trademark Registration

From clearance to registration to enforcement.

• Clearance searches. Before you print packaging or buy the domain, we find out whether the mark is available and whether someone else can stop you.
• Federal applications. Filing with the USPTO, including the classification and specimen decisions that determine whether the application survives.
• Office action responses. Most refusals are answerable. We draft the response and the legal argument behind it.
• Statements of use and maintenance. Registration is not the end. Marks have to be maintained on a schedule or they lapse.
• Enforcement and cease and desist. When someone uses your mark, a registration is what gives you leverage.

Why trademark clients come to a boutique firm

Filing services will take your money and submit whatever you typed into the form. They do not tell you that your mark is merely descriptive, that your goods description is too narrow to protect what you actually sell, or that there is a prior registration that will end the application. Those judgments are the work. Everything else is data entry.

One common misconception: forming an LLC does not protect your name. The state checks for duplicate entity names, not trademark rights. We handle business formation too, and we treat the two as separate decisions.

Because trademark law is federal, we are not limited to Florida for this work. We represent founders, product brands and creators and influencers nationwide.
