Trademarks, Service Marks, and Trade Names
The Chambliss intellectual property team has decades of experience advising clients on the selection and protection of their valuable trademarks, service marks, certification marks, and trade names. Our team conducts thorough searches to determine a proposed mark's availability for use and registration, and we prepare and prosecute trademark and servicemark applications both in the U.S. and in foreign countries. We operate as an extension of our clients' marketing, R&D, and leadership teams, providing regular monitoring and maintenance services for individual marks and portfolios, which has led to cancellation oppositions, infringement claims, and cease and desist letters for our clients.
In addition, our lawyers have a strong track record of representing clients in cancellation and opposition proceedings before the U.S. Trademark Trial and Appeal Board. We also have defended businesses of all sizes and industries in a wide variety of litigation matters ranging from enforcement actions to infringement claims. In a global society with nonstop competition, our team works quickly to identify potential issues, shut down imposters, and maximize protection for our clients' brands – new and old. For many clients, their trademark or service mark is crucial to their success, and we're proud to be a part of elevating their brands.
