Why You Need a Licensed US Attorney for Your Trademark Service Needs
Non-attorney discount trademark filing services cannot provide you legal advice. A form filing website cannot represent you before the US Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO). In fact, a licensed US attorney is required to communicate with the USPTO on your behalf and to respond to USPTO Office Actions on your behalf.
When you DIY your trademark registration application, you may save a buck in the short-term. However, you will spend more in the long run when you need a Michigan trademark attorney to fix the problems you didn’t know you had. Furthermore, not all problems can be fixed … You may end up starting all over from scratch.
Does that sound like a money-saver? Or a time-sink?
A licensed Michigan trademark lawyer will ensure that you understand the risks of failure, if any, before you file your trademark registration application. An attorney will ensure that your trademark registration application is drafted properly. Further, a trademark service lawyer will file your application without any avoidable errors that will cause it to fail.
Your brand is your business. Your business has value only if its brand can be enforced against infringement. It doesn’t pay to try to save a buck filing your own trademark application at the ultimate expense of long-term value of your entire enterprise.
Noble Path Trademark Services
Trademark Registration
Noble Path will not only draft and file your application but will first properly research the registrability of your name, logo, tag-line, or advertising phrase (slogan). We will guide you through the year-or-more-long process. During that time, we will keep you constantly updated. We will help you unravel any difficulties that arise. You will never need to wonder what is going on with your application.
Trademark Renewal
Trademark renewal is required between the 5th and 6th year after registration of your trademark. After that, it is required every 10 years. With each renewal, you must again prove to the USPTO that you are using the mark as registered in association with the transaction of your goods or services in interstate commerce. We will help file this Statement of Use and related Declarations to continue using your trademark in confidence.
USPTO Office Action Responses
Filing a Federal trademark registration application with the USPTO is essentially an adversarial process. It is not simply administrative form-filing. USPTO “Examiners” will look for excuses to refuse your application. Third parties may oppose your registration, also. However, a USPTO Office Action is a refusal by the USPTO to allow registration of your Federal trademark registration application.
When the USPTO rejects your trademark registration application with an Office Action refusal, you need a trademark lawyer to assist you. We are happy to step in to attempt to save your registration application when needed.
