BOCA RATON TRADEMARK AND COPYRIGHT LAWYER

Trademarks and copyrights are ways to protect your business’ intellectual property. Whether you need a trademark or copyright depends on what you intend to safeguard. A trademark will protect your business’ brand such as its name and logo and help to ensure that your company’s identity is original.  Copyrights protect your ownership of original work, including blogs, music, art, photographs, written content, and other creative works.

Our trademark and copyright services include:

• Initial consultation
• Availability assessment
• Application preparation and filing
• Office Action follow up
• Cease and desist letters

FILING A TRADEMARK WITH THE USPTO AND U.S. COPYRIGHT OFFICE

The United States Patent and Trademark Office, or USPTO, is the federal agency that governs the registrations of trademarks whereas, the U.S. Copyright Office is the federal agency that issues copyrights. The USPTO will only approve trademarks that do not infringe upon other existing trademarks, even if they are not the same but similar.  The U.S. Copyright Office will only copyright an original, creative contribution from an author of a work.
