Just as an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure, a consultation with an experienced trademark lawyer may help new businesses avoid infringing on others' trademarks, service marks, and company names. Entrepreneurs often do not realize the scope that their business will attain when first starting out. The best time to do a company name clearance, a trademark search, or a service mark search is before putting resources into marketing.

Prior to the launch of a new product or business, the California trademark lawyers of the Law Offices of Schneck and Schneck in San Jose advise clients on the availability and protect ability of trademarks and service marks.

A thorough search of the proposed mark is performed using online databases and the Internet. Our routine search uses state and federal database collections of trademarks and corporate names.

Upon completion of the trademark search, we advise the client on the strengths of potential marks and on the existence of rights of others that might overlap with the potential mark.

Once a client has selected a trademark and / or service mark, we assist him or her in the prosecution, maintenance, licensing, and enforcement of those marks worldwide.

We also have experience in all types of trademark proceedings, including oppositions to trademark applications and cancellations of existing trademark registrations before the Trademark Trial and Appeal Board.
