Copyright & Trademark

Phoenix, Arizona Trademark Attorney

Trademarks are supposed to protect what you create. To your customer, your name, logo and identity are your business. Thus, it is important to protect your trademark and intellectual property. If you are concerned about someone infringing on your intellectual property, The Law Offices of Donald W. Hudspeth, P.C. in Phoenix, Arizona can help you register your trademark and defend it against infringement.

Researching and Registering Your Trademark

At The Law Offices of Donald W. Hudspeth, P.C., your lawyer will perform the due diligence necessary to register your copyright or trademark. That will include extensive research (sometimes county by county) to ensure you are not infringing on another trademark. Our attorneys will assist in putting the necessary information together so your intellectual property can be filed with the U.S. Patent and Trade Office. While the PTO is very particular in what they will accept, we have a designer on staff who knows trademark law and how a logo or design can satisfy PTO requirements.

Trademark Disputes

We also represent our clients in trademark disputes. Businesses that operate using the same or similar names to yours earn easy money and dilute the value of your business and investment.

Disputes are growing in the online world, often from cyber squatting on domain names. Individuals and companies are registering one name after the other and subsequently charging for it. If that practice is preventing you from using your name for a website, let us help. You have rights to secure a valid name if your intent is to use it. As an example of how the Internet is facilitating the growth of a global economy, many business owners are being contacted by overseas organizations who want them to cease using a name they trademarked in the United States.

Other trademark disputes involve fraud. Companies can trademark a similar name to steal business from a well established business. Others will use that similar business name to fraudulently apply for loans. Whether you are a victim of infringement or fraud or are being bullied by an overseas company, you need experienced and knowledgeable representation to protect your trademark.
