Business lawyer serving Modesto, CA
Modesto Business Attorney with 20+ Years of Experience
Modesto is home to businesses ranging from professional services and restaurants to technology companies, startups, and growing local brands. As your business evolves, protecting your name, logo, and other intellectual property becomes increasingly important. We provide Modesto business owners with legal guidance for trademark registration and brand protection.
Attorney Roger Doumanian has extensive experience helping businesses register and protect trademarks, including business names, logos, slogans, product names, and service marks. He has worked with the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) on trademark applications and with U.S. Customs for trademark recordation.
Whether you’re looking to protect a Modesto restaurant, professional practice, technology company, or another business, we can help. We also handle wine and liquor brand trademarks, company slogans, and product names. If the USPTO has refused your application, we can review the refusal, explain your options, and help prepare a response.
Need help protecting your brand? Call (209) 970-7000 to discuss your trademark registration or intellectual property needs.

Cease and Desist Letters
Have you received a cease and desist letter claiming that your business must stop using a trademark or service mark? Before taking action, it’s important to understand your rights and the legal claims involved.
Trademark cease and desist letters can be concerning. While some may involve valid trademark claims, others may overstate the sender’s rights or demand that you stop using a mark you may have the legal right to use.
If you’ve received a trademark cease and desist letter, don’t assume you must give up your brand. An experienced trademark attorney can review the letter, assess the claims, and explain your potential defenses and next steps.

2(d) Trademark Refusal
Has your business received a 2(d) refusal from a USPTO examining attorney after filing a trademark or service mark application? A refusal doesn’t necessarily mean the application is over. We can help you understand the refusal and determine your next steps.
The United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) typically issues a 2(d) refusal when an examining attorney believes your proposed mark is likely to cause confusion with an existing registered trademark. Depending on the circumstances, you may have grounds to challenge the refusal.
An experienced trademark attorney can review the refusal, assess the marks and relevant factors, and develop arguments in support of registration. We can also help prepare a response that addresses the examining attorney’s concerns.
