Trademark Attorney Rapid City, SD

SCHEDULE YOUR 15-MIN DISCOVERY SESSION

This discovery session gets you concrete legal advice on when and how to apply for a trademark and also includes a manual preliminary knockout search to identify identical or nearly identical hits, which gives you an idea if your proposed word mark (names or phrases) or design mark (typically logos) will be problematic.

We discuss your brand and business trajectory; where are you now, where you want to go, and how we can get you there. You’ll also get a general trademark education, and by the end, you will understand the basics of what is and is not material you can trademark, the nuances of trademark law as it relates to “creative” versus generic names and phrases, and visual appearances. We will discuss how obtaining a trademark applies to your business, answer any questions regarding the strategic timing of obtaining a trademark, answer any questions specific to your business and determine if a trademark is right for you.

Should you decide to move forward with a trademark application with us within 7 days of your session, this fee is applied to your Package pricing.

GET 6 STEPS TO TRADEMARK YOUR BUSINESS NAME

Trademark Attorney Servicing Rapid City, SD

We take great pride in what we do in the world of trademark law. While some may not view it this way, trademarks stand alongside a business’ most valuable assets. Remember that we live in a world where the Internet exists, and marketing efforts can make or break a business venture.

Since you're going to be putting yourself out there, it stands to reason that your brand and your logo need to be protected with the trademark registration process.

Getting through this means having an experienced attorney at your side with demonstrated success in assisting clients in protecting their intellectual property. Grabbe Law Office is your premier option for such a service, providing you with the best legal representation and assistance you could ever need.

Your trademark is not necessarily a logo; it could be a package design, name, or word. Technically, it could be a combination of some or all these things. However, it's going to be what identifies your goods or services.

One of the benefits of retaining a well-versed attorney is understanding the nuances across different trademark types. For example, there are common law trademarks, which could belong to businesses that use them in commerce.

On the other hand, the federal trademark registration process takes common law rights to the next level and shows ownership nationwide.

While it can sound simple, the application process can be a lot to wrap your head around for someone without the required legal experience. Start the discussion with us via a 15-minute complimentary session by emailing info@grabbelaw.com or calling us at 785-621-4711

Does the Process End After Trademark Registration?
