Gerben Law Firm provides services that help business owners extend the reach of their products and services as far as they can imagine. For international business owners, that might mean setting up shop in the United States. Before you do so, you should strongly consider filing for an America trademark for your company name, product and/or services. U.S. and international companies can all receive legal protection when they file for a trademark from the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (the “USPTO”). When USPTO approves an America trademark, you can sue another person or company that sells goods or services using your name.
An America Trademark is a powerful business tool for international companies that intend to make an impact in the U.S. market. However, USPTO does not make it easy to complete applications for an America trademark. There are lots of obstacles that could cause you to waste money or time in your effort to obtain an America trademark.
For international business owners, you might understandably ask whether it's worth the risk and effort to get an American trademark. The answer is an emphatic yes, especially if you rely on the professional trademark services of Gerben Law Firm. An American trademark can help you market your goods and services in the United States without worrying about someone else stealing your name or suing you. For example, if you're based in Japan and want to sell software in the United States, you must first make sure that someone else isn't already selling a similarly named product. Gerben Law Firm can assist you in completing a trademark search to make sure no one else is using a similar trademark in America. If you clear that hurdle, Gerben Law Firm will draft and file an application for your American trademark with the USPTO.
Gerben Law Firm’s services can help you identify any problems that would stop you from getting a trademark. Specifically, our trademark service will look through existing trademarks to find any competitors with identical or similar names. If we turn up other companies that use a similar or identical name, we'll compile all the results in a report for you. Trademark attorney Josh Gerben will help you understand how those results would affect your application if you decide to move forward. If Gerben Law Firm's trademark service does not produce any results that would threaten your America trademark application, we will help you move forward with the application process.
When you're ready to file your trademark application, trademark attorney Josh Gerben will take care of most of the detail-oriented work. All you'll need to do is review and sign the trademark application. Josh Gerben will make sure you file your application in the right categories to avoid problems while giving you the best protection possible for defending your America trademark from competitors. Your America trademark will give you greater confidence when setting up your business in the United States.
Gerben Law Firm can provide even more valuable trademark services to business owners who want a higher level of confidence in protecting their name. Even if you successfully get an America trademark, you might face a lawsuit in some parts of the United States if another company has a well-established product or service with the same name. Some state and local laws provide those companies with regional legal protection, and those companies could file a lawsuit to limit your ability to sell your goods or services. If you're counting on operating within specific areas of the United States, you should strongly consider Gerben Law Firm's comprehensive search package. With this package, you'll get a thorough search of similarly or identically named companies throughout the United States, especially companies in your industry. With that information in hand, you might want to shift your business strategy before launching your products or goods in the United States using an America trademark.
