The strength of a business is defined not only by profit margins but also on how well the company's image is protected. Consumers become loyal to a brand based on what they expect from a product. Brand loyalty is established through effective logos, slogans and visual elements that help create a connection between the consumer and the product.
In today's online-driven business world, trademarks extend beyond logos and slogans to Internet domains and Web URLs. When a business fails to protect its online trademarks, its business can be put at great risk. At Miller Barondess, LLP, our firm's partner, Erik Syverson, has extensive experience in intellectual property and Internet law. We have the skills, resources and knowledge to protect your trademarks.

Protecting Your Property With Trademarks
Spending money to design a new logo or develop an effective slogan could be a waste of time and resources if you fail to take the right steps in protecting your intellectual property. A competitor of yours could potentially steal your brand through imitating the tagline or logo. The same is true with any property you own online.
Our law firm includes skilled California trademark lawyers committed to protecting your best interests. We will guide you through the process of registering a trademark to make this as seamless as possible for you. Our focus includes researching existing trademarks to help you effectively apply for a trademark with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office. After filing a trademark, you should hear a response in six to 12 months. Once you obtain a trademark, you will have the opportunity to pursue damages against a competitor for trademark infringement.
Handling Trademark Violation Lawsuits
Trademark law is extremely complex and technical. Attorney Syverson has served as trial attorney in a number of trademark infringement suits relating to domain names and counterfeit goods illegally imported and sold in the United States.
Part of our focus includes handling cybersquatting disputes. In some situations, companies purchase a domain name of an existing company to steal their Web traffic. Other times, cybersquatters select a domain name close to another company's existing name and direct the Web traffic to their site. If you are a victim of cybersquatting, we will aggressively protect your rights through negotiation, arbitration or trial.
