Welcome to The Business Forum Show! Join Kevin Hunter, David Ford, and Jeff O’Brien weekdays on Blog Talk Radio, and on www.Live365.com/thebizforumshow.

Kevin Hunter and Jeff O'Brien talk Trademarks today on TBFS Radio. What's the value of a Trademark, how to register it, and the benefits of having a registered Trademark.

Why Use an Attorney to Register a Trademark?

An experienced intellectual property attorney can provide the legal assistance necessary to successfully register your mark, and take full advantage of your portfolio of intellectual property including copyrighted material, patents and trade secrets by offering the following services:

1) Performing  searches of previously registered marks and other common-law marks to determine the most-effective way to apply for registration

2) Consider registration strategies to help avoid trademark infringement;

3) Filing of the trademark application to help avoid pitfalls, and use legal arguments to persuade the examining attorneys to approve the application for registration; 

4) Responding to arguments made by the USPTO that challenge the application;

5) Investigating potentially infringing trademarks;

6) Working with U.S. Customs to monitor the importation of potentially infringing trademarks;

7) Counseling clients on the importance of policing their marks to avoid abandonment; infringement, and genericide (the process of trademarks becoming part of popular culture, and thus losing their value as trademarks)

8) Help clients file applications for their trademarks in other countries.
