Common Scenarios

Not sure which approach fits your situation? Here are six scenarios we see most often.

We help review the technology, disclosure schedule, and filing options — avoiding early disclosure that could compromise future rights.

We help take stock and prioritize filings by technical difference, commercial value, competitor position, and budget.

An office action has arrived

We analyze the cited art, the examiner's reasoning, and possible amendments, and assess whether to argue, amend, or take another path.

Brand design is done, but the mark isn't registered

We run searches and risk assessments, and advise on filing, adjusting, or alternative naming directions.

We help confirm both parties' trademark status, gather use evidence, and identify available procedural options.
