Trademark Office Action
 After you have decided to pursue a trademark for the name of your company, services or goods, you need to complete an application with the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO), the U.S. federal agency responsible for reviewing all trademark applications. USPTO has a staff of trademark attorneys who critique every application. If an attorney finds a flaw in your application, you risk losing any right to using that name in commerce, in addition to losing your filing fee.
To prevent a rejection, you should strongly consider Trademark Armor, trademark services provided by Gerben Law Firm when filing your application. The Gerben Law Firm's trademark expertise can help you apply for the broadest legal protection for your name -- and do so as smoothly as possible. Josh Gerben, the firm's professional trademark attorney, can guide you through all stages of the trademark application process, which does not end after you file the application. When USPTO's trademark attorneys review your application, they might send a Trademark Office Action. Those Office Actions require a careful reply or else your application could be at risk of rejection.
When the USPTO attorneys analyze applications, they scour various databases for similar matches. If your application too closely resembles an existing trademark, they likely will send an Office Action stating that your name would likely be confusing to consumers. Part of USPTO's duty is to ensure that companies can conduct business without confusing people. When determining whether a name is confusing, the trademark attorneys are likely to consider the location of the companies with competing names, the industry, the details of the trademarks and the longevity of use. If you receive a Trademark Office Action, you might be able to persuade the attorneys that your trademark is valid by filing an Office Action Response.
However, your Trademark Office Response needs to conform to strict legal requirements. The Gerben Law Firm can draft and file your Trademark Office Action Response to ensure that these requirements are met.
In addition to building a persuasive argument to a Trademark Office Action, you have a limited amount of time to file a Trademark Office Action Response. USPTO allows people to take six months to reply to a Trademark Office Action. However, that seemingly lengthy window of opportunity can be bad. You can ill afford to forget about the Trademark Office Action or rush the Office Action Response because you're running out of time. When the Gerben Law Firm crafts your Trademark Office Action Response, you can feel confident that trademark attorney Josh Gerben is working on a persuasive response as soon as he receives the Trademark Office Action. He will strive to identify the precise reason why a USPTO trademark attorney issued the Office Action, work with you to determine the validity of that claim, and then craft the Office Action Response.
After filing the Trademark Office Action Response, the USPTO trademark attorneys will reconsider the initial judgment that they outlined in their Trademark Office Action. If the attorneys feel strongly that their opinion is correct, they could issue a final Trademark Office Action that rejects the application. However, even in that situation, you are not necessarily out of the running to protect your name. The Gerben Law Firm can work with you to file an appeal with the USPTO. In the appeal, Josh Gerben would work to build as complete a case as possible for you to give you the best chance possible of receiving legal protection for your name.
By using the Gerben Law Firm, you'll enter the application process feeling empowered rather than trying to file on your own and hoping for the best. In addition, if USPTO finds a weakness in your application, the Gerben Law Firm is ready to back you up and fight for your name.
