Trademark Attorney Rapid City, SD

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.

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 [email protected] or calling us at 785-621-4711

Making a Trademark’s Legal Nuances about Your Needs



During our discovery session, you get the kind of legal advice you would expect about the process. You learn about when and how to apply for the trademark, and there's even a manual preliminary search mental identify to any wholly or partially similar existing marks that could be problematic.

However, we go the extra mile to tailor our service to you. We want to know your business and where you want it to go. Tell us about your brand, and let us evaluate how we can fit ourselves into the puzzle to take you to the heights you're trying to reach.

We don't just provide a service; we also educate. By the end of the engagement with us, you will completely understand the fundamentals, learning the kind of material you can and can't trademark, how trademark law sees generic names and phrases, and more.

Of course, we're also open to any questions or concerns you may have, as a part of our responsibility is to alleviate them.


Does the Process End After Trademark Registration?



Successfully managing to register your trademark is a milestone. You've put the building blocks in place to state that something is uniquely yours, and you give yourself what you need to fight against unscrupulous parties who would infringe on it or those who innocently attempt to file for a mark too similar to yours.

However, things don't just go on autopilot from there. Their process of protecting your intellectual property is consistent and involved. We recommend engaging our monthly reporting, trademark monitoring and watch services.

The watch and trademark monitoring offerings search federal and global trademark databases, covering 190 countries for potentially conflicting marks. The best part is we can notify you before problematic trademarks get to the publishing stage, giving you ample opportunity to oppose them.

With our reporting service, you will receive a detailed and customized monthly report and expert recommendations for the actions to be taken, if any.
