TRADEMARK / COPYRIGHT - The Official Website of Richard M. Gee, a Professional Corporation

Copyright

Copyright registration is usually straightforward and can be handled by the client without input from the attorney. However, in the case of compilations, or in the case of an assignment of or copyright clearances, the use of an attorney may be more cost-effective for the client. If you need these services, please contact us.

Trademark

Trademark registration is, with the advent of the internet, an ever more important tool in securing the intellectual property assets of any business. Trademarks may be registered either locally (by state), nationally or internationally. The trademark itself is created at the time it is used to identify a particular good or service. Registration on the federal level grants the owner certain rights not available to the holders of a state or common law trademark.

The process of obtaining a trademark can seem fairly straightforward. One files an application with the United States Patent and Trademark Office, submits specimen samples of the mark as used in commerce, or as the owner intends to use it in commerce, and pays the fee per class of goods or services in which the mark is used. The issue usually arises in the context of what is known as an "Office Action", in which an examiner at the USPTO will object to certain portions of the registration petition. Here is where a filing initiated by a trained trademark attorney can get the immediate results a client may not otherwise be able to achieve.

Mr. Gee has successfully registered numerous trademarks on behalf of clients. Such work is usually done on a flat fee basis based, in part, on the type of mark to be filed and the number of classes for which a client seeks registration. Please fill out the form below if you wish to register a trademark. Someone from our office will contact you for more information and for a quote.

Another emerging issue in the world of trademarks is the question of infringement arising from the use of internet domain names that mimic or potentially confuse visitors to websites as to the nature of the site itself. Mr. Gee has successfully litigated such matters under UDRP rules promulgated by ICANN, the international body governing the registration and use of domain names on the internet. Please contact him with any questions you may have in this regard at 303-569-6430.
