BRANDING MATTERS
Your brand is an invaluable asset to your business—it’s how consumers will identify you, relate to you, and how they will ultimately remember you.
At BLG Trademarks, we take a modern and accessible approach to the legal aspect of establishing and protecting our clients’ brands.
We advise on the entire life cycle of trademarks, including clearance searches, state, federal and international registration, licensing, assignments, monitoring and disputes. We further advise clients on copyright and licensing issues, technology and privacy matters and a host of ancillary legal issues.
TRADEMARKS
Brands are primarily protected through Trademark Law. We help our clients choose names, slogans and logos that avoid conflict with third parties, register them in the United States and internationally, and represent them in disputes. We also help with licensing agreement(s), and provide trademark monitoring services.
If your company has established its brand, but would like a fresh take on its strengths and weaknesses, we can assess your trademark portfolio and provide recommendations.
COPYRIGHTS
Copyright Law protects your creative content. We aid in establishing your rights through registration with the U.S. Copyright Office, help monetize them through contractual agreements, and protect your creations from unauthorized use.
If you have created material that needs to be protected or monetized, we can help.
