Common questions
Useful answers before you reach out.
Is a business name automatically a trademark?
Not necessarily. Business-name registration, use in commerce, and federal trademark rights are different legal concepts. The right analysis depends on the facts and the applicable law.
Can the firm help a founder who is also pursuing immigration options?
Yes. Where appropriate, the firm can consider trademark, business, and immigration questions in a connected attorney relationship. Each service is evaluated based on the client’s facts and the scope of engagement.
Can trademark registration be guaranteed?
No. Registration decisions are made by the relevant government authority and depend on the facts, the application, existing rights, and applicable law. The firm does not guarantee results.
