Trademark Refusal Attorney – Do I Need One?

If your trademark application has been refused a Trademark Refusal Attorney may be able to assist. We’re often called upon to fix trademark applications filed by Pro Se applicants and general practice attorneys. How do we do this? Well, it’s our job! We use our expertise and experience to the benefit of our clients and in many cases we are able to get their refusals overturned.

Contrary to popular belief, you cannot Google how file a trademark application. Well, you can I guess…but don’t expect the same results as a professional trademark attorney. In order to effectively prosecute a federal trademark application, one must have read the bible of trademarks a few times (the Trademark Manual of Examining Procedure). Would you try to fly a plane without reading the manual to figure out what the controls do? Probably not. Next, about 10 years of filing trademark applications will also come in handy.

Trademark applications can be refused for a variety of reasons. Some refusals are no-brainers that are easy for us to correct. Other refusals require substantial work. If your trademark has been refused please email us your trademark serial number and we’ll schedule a phone consultation to discuss your options.
