Filing a trademark online is a good strategy for business owners who want to protect the name of their company, goods or services. Gerben Law Firm has set up a couple of packages that help you submit a trademark registration online as easily and painlessly as possible. We recognize that most business owners want to find the highest quality service to register a trademark online for the lowest cost possible. Our services cater to budget-conscious owners who can't afford to spend thousands of dollars on a trademark online, and we take pride in completing trademark applications that will receive as much legal protection as possible for the name of your company, goods or services.
When you look for a service to file your trademark online, you want to find a law firm that will treat you like you are the firm's only client. That's how Gerben Law Firm has established its trademark services. Our Web site provides a small library of useful information about the process for filing a trademark online. And if you have more questions, we welcome you to call us for a free consultation about completing a trademark registration online. Trademark attorney Josh Gerben is ready to share his expertise with you to help you understand how to file a trademark online.
By searching for information about trademarks online, you are already taking a great initial step. The U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, which is the federal agency that oversees trademark registrations, has specific requirements that it expects everyone to meet when you file a trademark online. If USPTO's trademark examiners find flaws in your application, they could reject your application causing the loss of your filing fees.
One gray area for trademarks online is the existence of similar marks. Gerben Law Firm will look very closely at all trademarks online in the industry that you operate. We will highlight existing trademarks and advise you about the odds that those trademarks could prevent you from successfully filing a trademark online.
If the results of the federal database search do not generate significant problems, you could decide to move forward to register your trademark online. USPTO offers a slightly discounted fee for people who file a trademark online, and the Gerben Law Firm will handle nearly all of the tasks required when you file a trademark online. USTPO requires applicants to provide specific information about their desired trademark and the industry in which they operate. Some of that information includes specific numerical codes that USPTO uses to classify trademarks online. Gerben Law Firm is ready to help you determine all of that information and accurately and completely fill out the USPTO's forms for trademarks online.
Gerben Law Firm's comprehensive package includes a far-reaching search for potential legal obstacles your trademark could face even with approval from USPTO. Many states provide their own trademark protection -- either through state-approved trademarks or common law protection.
In our comprehensive search for trademark registrations online, we carefully review state databases to find identical or similar names, as we do when we review federal databases. Additionally, we will perform a common law search. We look for names of companies, goods and services that might not have a trademark online with USPTO but could present a legal challenge to your trademark. A company with an established name could sue your company, and some local or state courts might rule that the existing company has rights to that name. As a result, you might not be able to conduct business in a region that competes with the existing company. The legal fees and potential limitation to your business would be an unwanted burden that you can possibly avoid by receiving more information through our comprehensive search package.
