Posted by Heather | October 12, 2010 | Trademark Application

IP protection

TJ Romano has provided excellent counsel and assistance in the following areas: • Researching the proposed company name and identifying any potential roadblocks to securing the trademark. • Setting up the trademark application and follow through with the USPTO governing officer. • Negotiating cle...arance for usage from another company whom the USPTO officer had identified as a similarly confusing mark. • Handling a case of trademark infringement that arose on Twitter within a few months after the registration was first granted. The outcome was successful.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
