Intellectual Property - Tion Law LLC

for business owners

Trademark Law & Intellectual Property

We work with clients to build, protect, and enforce their brands. We counsel clients in developing comprehensive IP strategies that oftentimes become a businesses most valuable asset. Protecting IP has never been more important than it has since the advancement of artificial intelligence.

Protect Your Most Valuable Assets

We represent business owners across the United States in preparing, prosecuting, enforcing and protecting their trademarks with the United States Trademark Office.

Many business owners and entrepreneurs make the mistake of paying too little mind to developing a strong trademark, or worse, too much money marketing a trademark that is already registered, or unable to be registered because it is descriptive or generic.

We have over a decade of experience working closely with business owners, entrepreneurs, real estate investors, condominium and community associations, and real estate developers to build, protect and grow strong brands that – when properly protected – are oftentimes a company’s most valuable asset.

Trademark Prosecution &
USPTO Filings

Trademark Filings

We will prepare, file and prosecute trademark applications with the United States Trademark Office and keep you appraised of each step of the process.

Trademark Search and Analysis

Before spending thousands in marketing, we help develop strong, protectable brands. We counsel clients on the most effective and automatically protected marks vs. weak, unprotected marks.

Trademark Statements of Use

If you filed an intent-to-use application and you’re now ready to show use, we can help with filing the Statements of Use required to bring your trademark registrations live.

Trademark Office Actions

Receiving an Office Action in response to a trademark application can feel daunting and defeating. We help clients respond to Office Actions, pushing their application forward.

Protecting Your Assets &
Building Value in Your Brand

Cease and Desist Letters

Enforce your rights by policing unauthorized use of your trademarks and copyrights. We also defend clients who have received cease and desist letters.

Cancellation Proceedings

Initiate cancellation proceedings of a registered mark if you can show you were the first to use the mark in commerce in relation to similar goods or services.

Co-Existence Agreements

We help clients negotiate co-existence agreements allowing trademark owners to “co-exist” in certain geographic locations with users of similar trademarks.

IP Use and Enforcement Policies

We counsel clients on the proper use of trademarks, the importance of proving chain of ownership, and help them develop policies and best practices for their business.

Selling, Licensing &
Assigning Your IP

Assigning Your IP

Documenting the transfer of intellectual property is one of the most overlooked parts of a business or commercial real estate transaction. Not with us.

Licensing Agreements

We help clients expand their business by negotiating and preparing licensing agreements. We also work with clients to understand the importance of policing use of your trademarks.

Trademark Valuations

We assist brand owners in getting trademark valuations. Whether you’re selling your trademarks as part of the sale of your business or separately, we can help understand what it’s worth.

Trademark Monitoring Services

We work with trademark monitoring service providers to police your most valuable trademarks. Be alert to new and unlawful use of your trademarks so you can take action to protect your brand.
