Trademark Prosecution and Trademark Violations

In order to gain trademark protection with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, you must have filed or used the trademark before anyone else. Our attorneys can help you file for trademark protection and defend your logo or other trademark from violation. You must use your trademark exclusively and consistently in order to keep your legal protection. Esp, Kreuzer, Cores & McLaughlin, LLP will help you draft confidentiality and non-compete agreements in order to protect your property from falling into wrong hands. Should a trademark violation occur, we will seek an immediate order to stop the infringement and obtain compensation for your losses.

Copyright Prosecution and Copyright Infringement Claims

The law firm of Esp, Kreuzer, Cores & McLaughlin, LLP works with businesses to create assignment or licensing agreements and business policies to ensure copyright interests are protected. While filing with the U.S. Copyright Office is not a prerequisite to receiving general copyright protection, it is necessary if seeking protection for copyright infringement in federal court.

In order to protect your trademark or copyright from infringement, or defend yourself against wrongful accusations of illegality, contact lawyer Kenneth McLaughlin through this Web site or call the law office of Esp, Kreuzer, Cores & McLaughlin, LLP at (630) 871-1002.
