Barlow, Josephs & Holmes, Ltd. provides a wide array of trademark services for clients of all sizes, from the sole proprietor to the large corporation. These trademark services include registration protection as well as counseling and planning regarding mark selection and adoption. Trademark Search and Registrability Opinion - The first step in the trademark protection process is a comprehensive trademark search to determine whether the selected mark is available for use and registration. Such a search includes research in numerous databases, including Federal Registrations and Application, State Registrations, Dun & Bradstreet Business Directory, Corporate Name Finder, a Common Law Registry and several others. A complete registrability and use opinion is issued along with a listing of trademark items uncovered as a result of the search. Federal Trademark Application - If the search indicates that the mark is available for use and registration to the satisfaction of the client, a federal trademark application is drafted and filed seeking federal registration protection. Barlow, Josephs & Holmes, Ltd. will handle all aspects of the prosecution of the trademark application through the United States Patent and Trademark Office.
Foreign Trademark Protection - If desired by the client, trademark protection in foreign countries may be sought with the assistance of a network of foreign legal associates throughout the world. Foreign trademark registration protection is critical to clients who sell their products abroad. Recently, the CTM (Community Trade Mark) registration procedure has made trademark registration in the European Community simpler, more streamlined and much less expensive. Trademark Licensing and Sale - Registered trademarks and non-registered trademarks (common law marks) are available for license and sale. Barlow, Josephs & Holmes, Ltd. is available for counseling and planning in connection with the sale or licensing of a trademark as well as to draft any documents needed in connection with such matters.
