In entertainment, your name is your brand and your brand may become your most valuable asset.
Stage names, band names, podcast titles, production company logos, catchphrases, and merchandise lines all deserve trademark protection. Our trademark practice secures and defends those rights.
We conduct clearance searches before you commit to a name, prepare and prosecute federal trademark applications with the USPTO, manage trademark portfolios and renewals, register marks internationally, and draft licensing agreements that turn your brand into revenue through merchandising, endorsements, and partnerships. When conflicts arise, we handle oppositions and cancellations before the Trademark Trial and Appeal Board, cease-and-desist enforcement, domain and social media handle disputes, and trademark infringement litigation.
Too many artists and companies invest years building a name only to discover someone else owns it or to receive a demand letter forcing an expensive rebrand. Early clearance and registration cost little compared to the alternative. We help you lock down your brand before it is famous and defend it fiercely after.
