Trademark Litigators = Better Trademark Prosecutors

Beware of those self-help companies who cannot give you legal advice or trademark mills with “transactional-only” attorneys who churn out filing upon filing. Those attorneys are not litigators and have probably never taken a case to trial. At Protectamark™, the trademark attorney who handles your application is an actual trial attorney and has litigated trademark cases in both the U.S. Federal Courts and the Trademark Trial and Appeal Board. Knowing how your registration will be scrutinized during litigation allows Protectamark™ to forecast issues during the prosecution of your application. It is simply a fact that trademark litigation skills sharpen trademark prosecution skills. So steer clear of those other services and get started with Protectamark™ today.

Attention to Detail = Not a Trademark Mill

Protectamark™ doesn’t claim to be the “No. 1 Trademark Filer” in the country or offer to register your trademark for “As little as $69.” That’s because Protectamark™ is not a trademark mill that works on the principle of volume! Instead, Protectamark™ takes the time to prepare each application – correctly! A reasonable fixed fee fairly compensates for the time that an actual trademark attorney will take to thoroughly prepare and prosecute your application. Volume or speed is never the goal…it is for you to have a registration that is enforceable and offers value to your business.

Comprehensive Service = Affordable Flat Fee

Protectamark™ does things differently (better) and provides a trademark clearance search with every trademark application filing package – and all for one low flat fee. Beware of any service that offers to file your application without first conducting a search. The Trademark Office will take several months to review your application, so a search is the only way to truly minimize the risk of facing an issue down the road. So get started with Protectamark™ today.

Confidentiality = Attorney-Client Privilege

You’ve heard the commercials that end with the disclaimer: “We’re not a law firm but provide self-help services at your specific direction.” This seemingly innocent disclaimer means that you will not be receiving any legal advice whatsoever and all of your communications with the company are not protected by Attorney-Client Privilege. Every phone conversation and written communication is fully discoverable in any future litigation. With Protectamark™, you are retaining the legal services of an actual trademark attorney who will provide honest and meaningful legal advice that guides you through the entire trademark process. So steer clear of those other services and get started with Protectamark™ today.
