Trademark Registration
Trademark registration, maintenance, and enforcement is what we do. We have 36 years of experience helping companies build and protect their brands in the United States and around the world. Companies serious about their intellectual property trust Cohen Business Law Group with their IP needs.
Four Steps to Register Your Trademark
Each step is designed to maximize the likelihood that your mark is registered, protected, and enforceable — from initial vetting through office-action response.
Step 1 · Knockout Research
An initial “knockout” search to identify any identical or obviously similar prior use of your mark before significant investment. This forms the preliminary opinion on availability before you spend time, energy, and resources building a brand.
Step 2 · Comprehensive Research
Once you pass knockout, we procure a full US or international search for other uses of your mark in the specific products or services you intend to offer. This is the only way to confidently avoid unintentional infringement of a third-party mark.
Step 3 · Application
Prepare and file an application designed to limit or eliminate office actions in response. Selecting proper international classes and carefully drafted descriptions for each class are the key factors in avoiding office actions.
Step 4 · Office Action Response
Even complete applications occasionally receive a USPTO examiner response requiring a timely formal reply. Failure to respond properly results in refusal. We stand ready to represent you through any office action.
Inside Step 3 — The Application
Three details that determine whether your application sails through or hits delays.
Adversarial Process
Office actions cause delay and additional expense and can constitute a complete or final refusal of your application. The goal is an application that anticipates and avoids them.
International Classes
Determining the proper international class is one of the most crucial steps. Errors result in refusal, cancellation of registration, or insufficient protection for the goods and services you offer or intend to offer in the future.
Proper Descriptions
Description changes are the basis for a significant share of office actions. A description in compliance with the Trademark Examiner’s Manual avoids the delay and expense that comes with a defective application.
