Trademark Analysis
A lawyer is still necessary even after you develop a fabulous trademark. Trademark lawyers have the time and resources to determine if your brand is registered or too similar before submission to the Patent and Trademark Office. The office rejects trademarks if they are too similar. Rejection means you lose the money spent on branding.
Brand Protection
You protect your brand by following the correct registration procedure and filing your trademark. Lawyers familiar with trademark lawdevelop a monitoring plan to ensure competitors do not create similar trademarks because they can steal your business.
Adherence To Application Regulations
Trademark application mistakes cause delays. Other applicants might take your idea during the delay compelling you to start branding your new business or concept again. Chicago trademark lawyers ensure your application adheres to all the rules to allow timely registration. Lawyers seal all the loopholes that can trigger future conflicts or let others take advantage of improper registration and claim infringement.
Compliance with Re-Registration
The trademarks office requires you to re-register yours within six years of registration. You should make a second declaration within the tenth year and every ten years after this re-registration. A Chicago trademark lawyer ensures adherence to trademark law by reminding you to register at the required moment. The timely declaration means your trademark is safe from other parties that might try to claim it because you missed the deadline.
