Trademark Protection Law

The use of distinguishing logos and symbols is vital to the success of your business. Certain famous trademarks, such as the Coca-Cola name and logo, represent some of the most valuable intellectual property assets in the commercial world. By fostering recognition and brand awareness, trademarks allow companies of all sizes to build consumer trust and confidence.

In this competitive market, protecting your company's product-related expressions is more important than ever. The occurrence of similar trademarks among businesses not only causes confusion for consumers; it puts the integrity of your organization at risk.

At Vern Maine & Associates, our trademark lawyers help clients to develop and protect their corporate and brand identity. We provide dedicated counseling in the selection of trademarks as well as related issues such as trademark monitoring, licensing, consent agreements, and customs recordation. Our partners are also readily available to prosecute and defend oppositions and cancellation proceedings before the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office.
