as to your brands and creations — will cost you money and make it hard for you
to protect what you create. When you don’t know how to identify and defend your
rights, you’re putting your business at risk!

WHAT ANGELA’S CLIENTS SAY

"If I could give Angela Langlotz (www.TrademarkDoctor.net) more stars, I would.
She takes the time to carefully listen and get to know you. She addresses all
your concerns and educates you through the process of trademark, copyright and
intellectual property law. She shows you how to protect your brand, license your
work and take action against infringers if need be. I highly recommend her."

"In my 40 year career as a businessman and real estate investor, I've had the
"good fortune" to deal with a lot of attorneys. As I watch Angela's training
videos and tutorials, I hear the distinct ring of truth and equanimity in her
explanations of trademark rights. I'm a fan and I suspect that when my trademark
needs roll around again, she will be my resource. Thanks for the high quality of
learning you provide as an expert in your field, Angela Langlotz."

"Ms. Langlotz is by far the most competent attorney I've had the pleasure of
interacting with. She went above and beyond beginning with the consultation and
from there on it was even better. I couldn't recommend her enough. If you're
serious about protecting yours stuff, hire Angela immediately."

OUR SIX STEP TRADEMARK PROCESS

STEP 1: IS YOUR PROPOSED MARK AVAILABLE?


STEP 1: IS YOUR PROPOSED MARK AVAILABLE?

The first step in our Six Step Process is to evaluate whether your proposed mark
is available for use. We check not only the Trademark Office Official TESS
database, but also do an online search to locate other possible users of the
mark who may not have registered their mark with the U.S. Patent and Trademark
Office.

STEP 2: FILE THE TRADEMARK APPLICATION


STEP 2: FILE THE TRADEMARK APPLICATION

If we find no “confusingly similar” marks, then we gather the necessary
information to submit your trademark application to the U.S Patent and Trademark
Office. We need to know things like how long have you been using the mark, what
goods or services you’ve been using it on, and who will own the mark. We also
collect an example — called a “Specimen” — proving your use of the trademark, if
you’re already using it. If you’re not using it yet, we can save this bit for
later.

STEP 3: TRADEMARK EXAMINATION

 


STEP 3: TRADEMARK EXAMINATION

After your application is submitted to the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office,
it’s assigned to a Trademark Examiner. Trademark Examiners are attorneys who
evaluate every trademark application submitted. They examine the Trademark
Database for possible conflicts for submitted applications. If an Examiner finds
another mark in the database which is “confusingly similar” (the most common
objection) they reply to us with an Office Action that details the issue and
invites us to respond on the client’s behalf. This process continues until the
mark is approved for publication in the Official Gazette or given a final
refusal. Final refusals can be appealed.

STEP 4: PUBLICATION FOR OPPOSITION

 


STEP 4: PUBLICATION FOR OPPOSITION

After the Trademark Examiner has approved the mark, he or she issues a “Notice
of Publication” in the Official Gazette, which is a weekly publication of the
U.S. Patent and Trademark Office. This Notice tells us when the mark will be
shown officially to the rest of the world, so that anyone with an objection to
the mark can file a Notice of Opposition. If a Notice of Opposition is filed,
the dispute is moved to the Trademark Trial and Appeal Board (TTAB) for
adjudication. The TTAB is an administrative body that hears trademark disputes.
The proceedings are like a trial, except there are generally no oral arguments.
If no Opposition or Extension of Time to File Opposition is filed within 30 days
of publication in the Official Gazette, the mark is granted a Certificate of
Registration or a Notice of Allowance.

STEP 5: ISSUANCE OF REGISTRATION CERTIFICATE OR NOTICE OF ALLOWANCE

   


STEP 5: ISSUANCE OF REGISTRATION CERTIFICATE OR NOTICE OF ALLOWANCE

If you are using your mark already, and have proven use in commerce, then the
U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) will issue you a Certificate of
Registration about 3 to 4 months after the mark was published (assuming, of
course, that there was no Opposition filed). If you haven’t started using your
mark yet, the USPTO will issue you a “Notice of Allowance” 3 to 4 months after
publication. Now you have up to 6 months to prove your use of the mark. If you
can’t show use in 6 months, you can file an Extension or you can abandon your
application. Did you get your Certificate of Registration? Congratulations! Now
you’re official, and you can use the “®” symbol with your mark rather than the
“™” symbol.

STEP 6: TRADEMARK COMMERCIALIZATION AND ENFORCEMENT
