U.S. Intellectual Property, Trademark & Patent Lawyer
Intellectual property law protects the creative works of inventors and designers from being used without permission for commercial and other purposes. The type of protection depends on the types of creative works being protected. Patent services protect new and useful machines, articles, substances, and processes for specific periods of time. Trademarks protect identifying marks that distinguish goods or services, such as names, logos, designs, emblems, slogans, and distinctive colors, sounds, and smells, by limiting commercial use to trademark owners and their licensees.
The main areas Lawrence E. Evans, a trademark attorney and patent lawyer, practice include:
What to ask your trademark attorney:
- What kind of experience does the attorney have with trademarks and service marks?
- Does the attorney specialize in intellectual property protection?
- When choosing a trademark law firm for your intellectual property work, will you be assigned to one attorney or will a team of attorneys review and prepare your application?
- Will the attorney work on your mark throughout all of the comment periods for your application?
- Does the attorney understand the industry you work in and will he or she be able to help you identify which marks need protection?
- Can your lawyer help with trademark enforcement?
The answers to these questions can often determine which trademark attorney is best for your application. Additionally, how an attorney answers these questions can help you determine what level of attention you will receive.
A trademark might be the brand and image of your company and you should know the attorney working on your application on a personal level. Your trademark attorney should be prompt in returning calls and emails. This prompt attention is an indicator of his or her attention to details. Intellectual property, and trademarks specifically, can change in a moment. Your use or your description of a particular mark may change throughout the patent registration and application process. The trademark law firm you choose should be responsive to the ever-changing mark for which you are seeking protection.
