Trademarks

Your reputation is one of your business’ best assets. Your customers know you. They trust you. They rely on your good name to provide the products or services that you are known for. Trademark protection ensures that you are able to keep someone else from jeopardizing the good will of your customers or harming your reputation by confusing consumers and copying your hard-earned success. Federal trademark laws help companies that engage in interstate commerce, including businesses that provide products or services to customers and clients from out-of-state, but local businesses may need to look to Virginia law to protect their reputation. Whether you do business around the world, across the country, or in your home town, we can help you protect your business.
