Look beyond the name you want to register
A business may use its mark in Wilmington while reaching customers elsewhere through its website, products, or services. Before committing to a brand, it is useful to examine potential conflicts beyond an exact match or a North Carolina business-name search.
Kellam Trademark Law provides trademark search and clearance guidance for proposed names, logos, and slogans. John helps clients assess potentially similar marks and related goods or services, then discusses what the findings mean for their plans. A search cannot eliminate every risk, but it can help a business make a more informed decision before investing in a name.
Handle the application and what comes after it
John prepares federal trademark applications, including the description of goods or services and other filing choices that need to reflect the client’s actual business. If an examining attorney issues an objection or requests a correction, the firm can evaluate the issue and prepare a USPTO office action response.
Registration also brings continuing responsibilities. Kellam Trademark Law assists with maintenance and renewal filings, trademark licensing, and decisions about protecting additional marks as a business develops.
