A trademark is more than a logo or a nameāit is the signal your customers use to find you, trust you, and choose you over the competition. MBLās trademark attorneys handle the full lifecycle of brand protection, from initial clearance searches and registration through enforcement, renewal, and litigation. We represent clients ranging from emerging companies building their first brand to established enterprises managing global trademark portfolios.
/ REGISTRATION & PROSECUTION
Building a trademark portfolio that stands up to scrutiny.
A trademark registration is only as strong as the strategy and drafting behind it. Choosing the right classes, crafting a description that captures your actual use, and responding effectively to USPTO office actions all require expertise. Our trademark attorneys navigate this process efficiently, and we integrate each registration into your broader IP and brand strategy.

Defending your mark THE WAY YOU WOULD your business.
Many of our trademark clients first come to us when a problem has already arrived: a competitor using a confusingly similar name, a TTAB opposition to a pending application, or a cease-and-desist letter threatening their brand. We handle all of itāwith experience on both sides of trademark disputes.
Our attorneys have a strong record in trademark infringement litigation in federal courts, TTAB opposition and cancellation proceedings, and negotiated resolutions that protect our clientsā brand rights without unnecessary cost or conflict.
