Lindsay K.

U.S. Trademark Attorney

I am not able to accept any new clients at this time. I will update this note when I am available to do so. -------- If you need to secure a trademark that sticks- or if you're in a sticky trademark situation- I can be your go-to trademark lawyer. I have helped many businesses from all over the world to register, protect, and enforce their trademarks under U.S. federal law. From clearance searches and USPTO applications to responding to Office Actions and handling disputes, I guide clients through the entire process with practical advice and clear communication. Whether you're launching a new brand or safeguarding an existing one, I make sure your trademarks work for you. Credentials: I am a licensed U.S. trademark attorney who has represented hundreds of clients before the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO). I earned my BA from Cornell University and my Juris Doctorate from Brooklyn Law School. I am a member of the NY state and Massachusetts state bars. I hold a certificate in trademark practice and am licensed to represent clients from any US state, territory and country. Experience: I have handled trademark legal matters for professional sports teams, restaurant owners, social media influencers, software developers, and companies in the pharmaceutical, cannabis, cosmetics, and logistics industries, to name a few. Achievements: I recently obtained a six-figure settlement for a client whose trademark had been infringed by a competitor. Versatility: Whether you need help choosing a strong brand name, submitting an application to the USPTO, responding to an Office Action refusal, or handling a Trademark Trial and Appeal Board proceeding, I can help you with each stage of the trademark process: -Trademark clearance search to find out if your trademark is available for use -Analysis of the strength of a trademark -Legal counsel regarding trademark conflicts and disputes -Applications to the USPTO -Challenges to rejections ("Office Actions") such as the 2(d) Likelihood of Confusion refusal and the 2(e) Descriptiveness refusal -Trademark forms and procedures such as the Statement of Use, Assignments, Renewals and Extensions -Drafting or responding to Cease and Desist Letters -Trademark Trial and Appeal Board proceedings -Letters of Protest -Expungement proceedings -Amazon Brandy Registry set up -Take down requests on Amazon, Ebay, Walmart etc. -Customs & Border Control recordation for counterfeit protection My passion is helping clients understand the law and achieve their goals. I look forward to working with you! Testimonials from past clients: "Lindsay Kaplan was amazing to work with in completing the trademark application and process for my business. She was patient while I asked her so many questions and she constantly made sure I fully understood her responses. She saved me so much time, frustration and worry. Thanks to Lindsay's thoroughness, I fully knew what to accept with the application process and the steps required of me thereafter. Highly recommend!" -Heather, New York "You have done such an excellent job in representing us. I don’t know how to express in words how impressed I am. I've worked with literally dozens of attorneys from a variety of specialties. You are the best." -Gary, Monterey California "Lindsay was incredibly helpful with the forming of my LLC and trademarks. We ran into numerous hiccups along the way, but she continued to find solutions and was so easy to work with. I would highly recommend her legal services to anyone looking for help with LLCs and Trademarks." -Marissa, New York
