Trademark counseling and prosecution

Mozgroup’s experience in preparing trademark opinions and in filing, prosecuting, and maintaining worldwide trademark applications and registrations is clearly demonstrated by the number of trademark matters we handle. 

Before adopting a trademark, we advise clients on strategies for selecting “strong” marks that are immediately protectable and registrable.  If a client prefers to use a term or mark descriptively, we can advise on how to use the term to place the client in the best possible position should it be challenged.  Our counseling during the early phases of trademark development helps avoid costly conflicts or enforcement problems down the road.

Once a mark is selected, we conduct availability searches and render clear, practical opinions.  We carefully evaluate each search request to ascertain the goods or services to search, the type of search to order, and whether to search any supplemental sources.  Moreover, our opinions are not based solely on the search results as they appear in the search report.  We investigate relevant marks and names to determine if they are in use and, if so, the nature and extent of any rights their owners may possess.  Our extensive  experience allows us to provide realistic opinions on a mark’s availability, as well as practical recommendations on using and registering the mark to avoid or minimize potential problems.
