Trademarks

Trademarks consist of words and logos and also include trade (or package) dress, sounds, colors, product configurations, and scents.

Trademarks may take a year to secure and may involve many transactions with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office. That's why we offer low-cost, flat-rate tradmark registration services. You pay one time and we do all the work.

A trademark is a word, phrase, symbol, or design that identifies and distinguishes the source of the goods of one party from those of others. Registering your trademark with the U. S. Patent and Trademark Office gives you the exclusive right to use your trademark in connection with the goods or services you specify in your registration.

Once you register your trademark, you can prevent others from using your mark in a way that is likely to cause confusion, mistake, or deception. This can help you protect your brand and your business from unauthorized use.

Domain name issues raise complex questions for the trademark owner. William Lovin & Associates advises clients on a broad range of legal issues including infringement, fair use, and the use of trademarks in HTML metatags, e-commerce issues, website and system operator liability, defamation, privacy violations, and other issues associated with doing business on the Internet.
