Trademarks
Your Passport to Goodwill
A respected, recognized trademark not only identifies your goods and services in the marketplace, it is your repository of industry goodwill and consumer confidence. Antonelli, Terry, Stout & Kraus, LLP appreciates the potential of this valuable asset. While trademark rights can be protected and enforced according to common law, trademark registration and availability clearances are critical in staking your claim. The watchful protection of a trademark is necessary to retain ownership. It may be necessary to initiate opposition and cancellation proceedings in the u.s. patent and trademark office to reinforce your rights. Further, infringement and unfair competition suits in the courts may be needed to defend your good name.
