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.

Gene is the real deal for Craft Beer!

Gene did an outstanding job. We received about a thousands emails from robot law offices after our USPTO denial, but we chose Gene because he has experience with the Craft Beer Industry and his references loved him. The day after we chose Gene, he submitted a huge rebuttal with countless court preced...ents specific to the food and drink industry. His flat rate was true blue and we were not surprised by anything. Within three weeks the USPTO overturned the denial and we won..twice! In a world of let downs and delays, Gene proved he is the real deal and will give you the attention that your business deserves! Great Oak Brewing Co. will be using and recommending Gene for the years to come!!!

Gene is a real deal trademark attorney

After I received a response from the USPTO that a similar trademark that already exists similar services. Instantly, I had dozens of attorneys reach out to me and I reached out to a few that I know. No one was able to provide detail information on a plan to win over the trademark. Some gave less than... a 20% chance. However, Gene reviewed both companies diligently and gave me step by step directions on how we can possibly win my companies name which we are trying to trademark. His argument made sense and I went along for the ride. Gene, thanks for your ongoing support and forcing the other company to default and helping me in receiving my companies trademark, Your awesome!
