Great experience

What a pleasure working with Gene. I had rolled this task on my calendar over and over as I was anticipating it to be difficult and complicated. What a surprise to deal with an attorney that accomplished the task to my complete satisfaction in short order with no hassles and complicated pricing for ...services. I would recommend Gene to anyone without hesitation.

Look no further; Gene is a trademark specialist w/decades of experience

I submitted my trademark application and received a "Section 2(d) Refusal – Likelihood of Confusion" office action. Shortly after I was flooded with automated emails from law firms offering to assist me with my trademark woes. I contacted many of them and most said that I had “little to no chance o...f winning an appeal”. Some wanted $200+ just to speak with me and ‘assess my situation’. Things weren't looking good. After doing more research, I found Gene. I contacted him, discussed the refusal and he explained his proposed response to me. At this point I knew I found the right person for the job. The next day he submitted the document to the USPTO. Fast forward and my mark is now approved. If you are serious about wanting the best attorney to represent you and your trademark, contact him first; you won’t be disappointed! Thanks Gene!

Great experience. Trademark registered against "likelihood of confusion" argument

Gene Bolmarcich explained my situation of the phone for 30 minutes before I gave him a penny. He made me feel very confident after being very discouraged from my denied trademark. He explained my chances of winning each class and made it crystal clear that we did not have a sure shot at one of the ...classes. After we decided to move forward and fight all claims anyway, he sent me a very detailed and persuasive three page written response to the office action sent from USPTO. Six days later we were approved in all classes for my trademark. I could not be happier with the experience. I highly recommend Gene Bolmarcich when it comes to registering your trademark.

Thanks to Gene my business is successfully trademarked!

When I first applied for my trademark, I really had no idea where to turn and Google led me to a popular legal website. After my mark was rejected, I was very discouraged. Several lawyers reached out via annoying e-mails but Gene's letter in the mail stood out to me. I reached out to him and right aw...ay he identified where the issue was and was confident we could get the situation resolved. I got my official certificate in the mail the other day and feel so much better knowing that we are trademarked. He was a pleasure to work with and was always quick to respond to my questions. I highly recommend him for trademark services.

Very professional, attentive and great results!

Our initial trademark application was rejected, and we got in touch with several lawyers to understand our options. Almost all of them said that our chances of successfully fighting this office action are very low and that we should re-apply, a few even suggested we change our brand! Gene was extrem...ely professional from the beginning - he read our case and thoroughly discussed our options via email and on a long call before we even committed to working together. While he obviously didn't promise success, he took the time to thoroughly understand our business and therefore believed that we have a good chance. We then agreed on a strategy, and within a few short days Gene already sent us a draft of our response to the USPTO, for our comments. The draft included everything we discussed, so we actually ended up not changing anything. After 3 weeks we found out that our response was approved and our trademark is now registered. We were super happy with Gene's services. Highly recommended.
