Business lawyer serving Santa Clara, CA
Santa Clara Business Attorney with 20+ Years of Experience
Santa Clara is home to businesses across many industries, including technology, professional services, startups, restaurants, and growing local brands. As your business grows, protecting your name, logo, and intellectual property becomes essential. We help Santa Clara business owners with 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 need to protect a Santa Clara technology company, restaurant, professional practice, or another business, we can help. We also assist with 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.

Cease and Desist Letters
Have you received a cease and desist letter claiming your business is infringing on a trademark or service mark? Before responding, it’s important to understand the allegations, your trademark rights, and your legal options.
A trademark cease and desist letter can create uncertainty for your business. While some claims may have legal merit, others may overstate the sender’s trademark rights or demand that you stop using a mark you may have the right to use.
If you’ve received a trademark cease and desist letter, don’t respond without first understanding your rights. An experienced trademark attorney can review the letter, assess the claims, and explain potential defenses and appropriate 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 does not necessarily end your trademark registration process. We can help you understand the refusal and determine your options.
The United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) generally issues a 2(d) refusal when an examining attorney believes your proposed trademark is likely to cause confusion with an existing registered mark. Depending on the circumstances, you may be able to challenge the refusal.
An experienced trademark attorney can review the refusal, compare the marks, and evaluate the relevant factors to identify potential arguments supporting registration. We can also help prepare a response that addresses the examining attorney’s concerns and moves your application forward.
