Emma Haw, a local attorney, usually charges $500 for attorney fees through registration of the mark. The filing also requires a $350 government filing fee.
The Haw Law Firm, LLC accepts clients for registering trademarks and copyrights. We offer affordable flat fee prices for filing and prosecuting a trademark application. Registering multiple marks at a time gets you a discount.
We offer services in Oviedo, Orlando, Winter Park, Longwood, and surrounding areas in Central Florida. Because most work is done online, we offer services nationwide if an in-person meeting is not needed.
Trademarks
A trademark is a word, phrase, symbol, and/or design that identifies and distinguishes the source of the goods. This helps people identify whether the goods come from your brand or from another supplier. A service mark identifies and distinguishes the source of the services of one party from those of another (as opposed to goods). Many people use the term “trademark” to identify both goods and services.
A trademark is not required to be registered. One gains trademark rights simply by using their word or mark. However, there are several advantages to registering the mark, including:
- Notice to the public of the registrant’s claim of ownership of the mar
- Legal presumption of ownership nationwide
- The exclusive right to use the mark on or in connection with the goods or services as listed in the registration
- The right to use the federal registration symbol ®
- Right to prevent importation of infringing foreign goods
- Right to sue in federal court; AND
- The right to recover your attorney fees
Copyrights
A copyright protects works of authorship, such as writings, music, and works of art that have been tangibly expressed. In other words, a copyright gives the creator the right to control how these works of authorship are used.
Patents
A patent gives one property rights by the United States Patent and Trademark Office. The patent provides the owner the right to exclude others from making, using, selling or importing a patented technology. In order to get a patent from the United States Patent and Trademark Office, an inventor must show that the invention is new, useful and nonobvious.
Although Emma Haw is licensed with the United States Patent & Trademark Office to prosecute patents, she does not currently take patent cases.
