Trademark Registration and Management

We will work with you and your advertising professionals to select trademarks that are effective in the market place, while remaining strong and protected from your competitors.  Once a mark is selected, it must be used properly, and the registers must be periodically updated to maintain trademark and registration rights.  We counsel and support our clients to ensure that they use their marks properly and that their registrations are kept valid.  Mr. Rivera practices before the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office (USPTO) in Washington, D.C. and the Department of State in Puerto Rico, as well as the state and federal courts in Puerto Rico.

We provide these key services:

• Trademark Search – We search several databases to determine whether your mark can be registered with the Patent & Trademark Office in Washington, D.C., or with the Department of State in Puerto Rico.
• Trademark Registration filing – Our attorneys file and prosecute trademark applications in the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office and Puerto Rico's State Department.
• Trademark Maintenance – We file the necessary documentation with the USPTO and the PR State Department to keep your trademark active and in full force.
• Trademark Advocacy – Our attorneys defend clients in court and administrative forums when litigation is unavoidable.
