Trestle Law can help protect your registered or pending trademarks against infringement with our monthly trademark enforcement service. This service includes robust trademark monitoring with top-notch software. With it, we can determine when others infringe upon your trademark and notify you so you can take action immediately. As part of our monthly trademark enforcement efforts, we can also send cease-and-desist letters to infringers and, if necessary, represent you in litigation.

If another business entity or individual infringes upon your IP, trademark owners can send a cease-and-desist letter. Our law firm will start this for you by evaluating the situation and then composing and sending a cease-and-desist letter to the trademark infringer. For clients who receive a cease-and-desist letter from someone else, we are also here to help. Our legal team will start by thoroughly evaluating your case and any claims made against you. Guided by trademark law, we will then determine what strategy to take next.

With our team’s experience in trademark enforcement, we can initiate litigation on your behalf or defend you should you find yourself in an infringement lawsuit. A key issue often found in trademark litigation is something referred to as the existence of a “likelihood of confusion,” which occurs when consumers in the marketplace mistake a particular brand for another. Several factors will need to be proven in federal court to show such likelihood exists. Our law firm knows what these are and how to prove or disprove them on your behalf.

Whether you currently do business in more than one country or plan to start, you will want to protect your trademark here in the U.S. and abroad. At Trestle Law, we can be your contact point when dealing with worldwide registrations. This is helpful because every country has its own laws and rules regarding intellectual property, which most business owners will find difficult to juggle. Whether you are a San Diego business or originate in another country, find out how we can help.

Trestle Law utilizes top-notch software to conduct trademark searches and provides reporting and analysis just for you. With this information, you can make a better-informed decision for your business. In addition, we offer our clients access to strategy sessions with a San Diego trademark attorney. These sessions will help you understand what needs prioritizing when it comes to your trademark portfolio. Filing for every mark you want to use may not be financially feasible, and with a strategy session, we can help you narrow the list down so you can focus on the ones that will benefit you the most.
