Patents, Trademarks and Copyrights Hotline Blog, from the Firm with the Different Approach to Intellectual Property Law.At INTELLECTULAW™, with offices in Mt. Sinai, New York, we practice intellectual property law, i.e. patent law, trademark law, copyright law, and trade secret law very differently from other intellectual property law firms. Since we practice intellectual property law differently, we are not necessarily good for everyone. However, for those clients we are good for, they experience a significantly positive impact on their income and quality of life. At Intellectulaw, we are passionate about the representation we provide our clients. We know that patents, trademarks, copyrights, and trade secrets represent a significant commitment of time, energy, and dedication. We understand the pride and sense of accomplishment that comes from the development of a useful or creative item. That’s why we take the time to meet individually with every client before we formulate an intellectual property strategy. We can handle all your intellectual property needs, including trademark research, copyright filing, patent prosecution, and litigation to protect or challenge IP rights. We help individual inventors and companies of all sizes to develop a comprehensive understanding of the value and uses of their intellectual property from both a technical perspective in the law and an economic perspective in the real world. Please visit us at our firm's website at www.intellectulaw.com. Likewise, we don’t know if we are good for you. However, if you think our very different approach might be appropriate for your situation, contact us to arrange an exploratory meeting or conference.

So, summer is coming to an end and autumn is just around the corner. Some of you took some time off to lounge on the beach. Some of you visited the mountains. Yet others of you decided you couldn?t be bothered with the traffic and stayed close to home, perhaps enjoying a cool one by the pool. Whatever you all did, one thing is for sure. You all tried to slow down a bit and enjoy the long, hot sunny days.
That was not the case for the folks at the Federal District Court in the Eastern District of New York.

So, how would your income and quality of life be affected if your Trademark Registration was found to be invalid and unenforceable, either by a Court of Law or the Trademark Trial and Appeal Board, at the Trademark Office? Would you be angry, frustrated and unhappy? Would you feel cheated? It could happen quite easily, and over something that you might not have really thought about, i.e., over the fact that you and/or your trademark attorney failed to correctly and properly allege the date of first use of the mark in commerce, during the trademark application process that led to the issuance of your Trademark Registration.
