Trademark & Copyright
Your brand is an asset. Treat it like one.
Flat-fee trademark application
$2,000 attorney fee, clearance through registration
For clients with a known mark. Evaluating several names? We offer hourly consultations.
Three things we do differently.
Trademark work has been commoditized by everyone except the firms that take it seriously. We're in the latter group — and you can tell from the first call.
Transparent, flat-fee pricing.
Most filings, oppositions, and clearance opinions are priced flat. You see the number before we start. No surprise WIP, no per-letter padding.
An attorney runs your docket.
Not a paralegal queue. The named lawyer on your portfolio reviews every office action, signs every response, and tells you what's worth fighting and what isn't.
Litigation bench when you need it.
Most trademark counsel can prosecute. Few can also try a Lanham Act case. We can. That changes how we counsel — and how the other side responds.
What we do
We protect the marks, content, and creative output that define our clients' businesses — with the depth of practitioners recognized by the International Trademark Association and the directness of a firm that believes IP counsel should be transparent, strategic, and built for the long term.
Trademark Clearance & Registration
We conduct comprehensive clearance searches and manage domestic and international trademark portfolios, advising clients on brand strategy and risk mitigation. For clients ready to file, we offer a flat-fee application service — $2,000 attorney fee for a single mark through registration — with optional ongoing conflict monitoring at $195/month.

Copyright Registration & Licensing →Brand Strategy & Protection

Copyright Termination Rights
We advise authors, heirs, and grantors on recapturing previously transferred copyright rights under 17 U.S.C. §§ 203 and 304 — analyzing termination windows, preparing and serving termination notices, and enforcing recaptured rights against former grantees.
Copyright Termination Rights →IP Licensing & Monetization
We structure and negotiate licensing, royalty, co-branding, and catalog acquisition arrangements that monetize trademarks, copyrights, and technology assets while preserving long-term ownership and control.
IP Licensing & Monetization →IP Infringement Litigation
We prosecute and defend trademark, copyright, trade dress, and false-advertising claims under the Lanham Act and Copyright Act — from cease-and-desist through trial — recovering profits, statutory damages, fees, and injunctive relief.
