Trademarks and Service Marks

We work with our intellectual property clients to acquire and protect their marks, as well as the consumer recognition and good will associated with their marks, both in the United States and abroad, and to defend against unwarranted accusations of infringement.  Our counseling and representation extends to all facets of trademark law, including:

  • Counseling clients in their choice of names and marks, including providing opinions regarding the availability of names and marks for use and/or registration;
  • Preparing, filing, and prosecuting trademark applications in the U.S. and abroad;
  • Advising on matters of marketing and advertising of brands and products and services; and
  • Policing potentially infringing uses of our clients’ marks online and around the world.

TRADEMARK & COPYRIGHT LITIGATION

Sutherland’s IP Group represents clients in trademark, copyright, unfair competition, and domain name litigation in federal courts throughout the U.S. and before administrative agencies such as the International Trade Commission and the United States Patent and Trademark Office’s Trademark Trial and Appeal Board.
