Roman V.

I'm an experienced trademark attorney and enjoy helping clients protect and grow their brand names through trademark registration and enforcement. I've worked with a wide variety of clients in different industries, including e-commerce, software as a service (SaaS), and consumer goods, to register trademarks for product names, logos, and slogans, both in the US and abroad. I'm also a native Russian speaker and bring strong communication skills to all my client relationships. I strive to give all my clients the best array of options to protect, enforce, and grow their brand's hard-earned reputation. My services include any combination of the following: Trademark Clearance Search -research US Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) database, state registries, domain databases, social media sites, and general internet search for potentially conflicting trademarks -provide report summarizing findings and recommendation on how to proceed, identify potential red flags, and provide best options for registration Trademark Application -draft and file trademark applications with the USPTO based on use, intent to use, or foreign registrations/applications -properly drafting the description of goods and services -selecting correct classification number -selecting a strong specimen to show use of the trademark USPTO Follow-up -negotiating with USPTO examiners to resolve procedural issues to allow trademark applications to proceed to registration -submitting statements of use showing trademark use in commerce -submitting responses to USPTO Office Action refusals for genericness, mere descriptiveness, improper specimens, class descriptions, or likelihood of confusion Post Registration Maintenance Filings - Declaration of Use and/or Excusable Non-use under section 8 - Declaration of Use and/or Excusable Non-use and an Application for Renewal under sections 8 and 9 - Declaration of Incontestability under sections 15.
