CORPORATE & BUSINESS LAW 

​

Accel IP Law counsels clients in all aspects of trademark practice, both domestic and international. We discuss your planned use of marks as part of your business development strategies   to help you maximize growth. We always keep our clients informed of deadlines for renewals of their registered marks, including Section 8 Declarations of Use, Section 15 Declarations of Incontestability. When applicable, we advise on required filings under the Madrid Protocol, experience in opposition/cancellation proceedings before the Trademark Trial and Appeals Board.

In addition, we offer trademark clearance and registrability searches to determine if  your mark could be registered, and whether it potentially infringes another person’s registered mark.

Many companies make the mistake of not registering their trademarks, only to find themselves precluded from use outside their initial geographic area of operation.  Worse still, are instances where companies did not do a proper trademark clearance search and then find themselves the subject of a lawsuit or having to rebrand due to their mark infringing on another’s pre-existing trademarks.
