  • Trademark applications - Our services simplify applying for federal trademarks with the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO), as well as state trademarks. 
  • Trademark monitoring - Securing a trademark is only part of the equation. Ongoing monitoring allows you to catch instances of trademark infringement that could negatively impact your business if left unchecked.

Why Trademark Searches & Monitoring Matter

You may not realize it, but there are crucial things you must do prior to seeking a trademark and after securing one. Before submitting your trademark application to the USPTO or the Texas Secretary of State, you should conduct a comprehensive trademark search. 

Typically, this involves: 

  • A search of the USPTO database, state trademark databases, and relevant business directories
  • Checking for similar marks via online resources to confirm there are no pending or registered marks similar to your own

Why conduct a search? Doing so enables you to avoid needless conflicts with others using a specific name, logo, or brand feature. If you fail to perform an adequate search, you could face expensive legal consequences. 

Once your trademark is registered, it should remain solely yours. Should someone start using a name, logo, or slogan similar to yours in the same industry, their actions can cause confusion and dilute your recognition. As such, it is vital to monitor for instances of infringement so that you can take appropriate action. Additionally, you should know when your trademark expires (generally after 10 years) and take care to renew it before the expiration date.
