Trademarks that Protect and Grow Your Brand
Your brand is one of your most valuable assets. We help companies clear, register, and enforce trademarks so you can expand with confidence in the U.S. and worldwide. From first searches to TTAB proceedings and global filings, Lynch LLP makes trademark protection predictable, defensible, and aligned to growth.
Why Choose Lynch LLP for Trademarks
Strategy before filings: We carefully review your products and services—both present and future plans—to develop an optimized trademark filing strategy that helps you to establish your branding with confidence. From house brands to product lines and sub‑brands, Lynch LLP attorneys can develop a filing roadmap with classes‑of‑goods/services strategy and regional priorities that track product launches and marketing plans.
Search & clearance depth: We can develop comprehensive knockout and full searches with plain‑English risk reviews, so legal, marketing, and leadership can decide branding priorities together.
Filing accuracy and speed: We prepare trademark applications to reduce office‑action risk, and we follow‑through on questions from the USPTO.
Enforcement that scales: Lynch LLP attorneys can handle online marketplace takedowns, cease‑and‑desists, TTAB oppositions/cancellations, and Customs recordation—designed to deter copycats without derailing the business.
International made simple: Madrid Protocol, Paris Convention, and direct national filings coordinated through trusted local counsel.
Practical guidance: Clear advice on word‑mark‑first strategy, logo filings, and ownership issues when agencies or external designers are involved.

FAQ
Do we really need a search before filing?
Searching before filing is not mandatory, but a comprehensive search can reduce the risk of USPTO refusals and costly rebrands.
Should we file the word mark or logo first?
In many cases, file the word mark first for broader protection and longer brand life, then add the logo as budget and branding evolve.
How fast can we get on file?
Once clearance is complete and goods/services language is finalized, we can file promptly and then manage prosecution and maintenance.
Can you help internationally?
Yes. We regularly file internationally via the Madrid Protocol and via Paris Convention/direct filings, selecting countries based on channel and expansion plans.
Do you offer consultations?
Yes, we offer free consultations for trademark registrations..
