Trademark Services for Sonoma Businesses

Sonoma businesses range from restaurants and wineries to professional services, creative companies, and growing startups. As your business develops, protecting your brand and intellectual property can help safeguard the identity and value you’ve worked hard to build. For this reason, we help Sonoma business owners with trademark registration and other intellectual property matters.

Experienced Trademark Guidance

Attorney Roger Doumanian has extensive experience helping businesses protect their names, logos, slogans, product brands, and other trademarks. Over the years, he has worked with the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) on trademark applications and registration matters, as well as U.S. Customs for trademark recordation. As a result, he can assist business owners with registering and protecting their trade and service marks throughout the United States.

For example, you may want to trademark the name of a Sonoma restaurant, winery, professional practice, or other business. In addition, we assist with wine and liquor brand trademarks, company slogans, product names, and other intellectual property. However, if the USPTO has refused your application or an examining attorney has raised an issue with your mark, you don’t have to navigate the process alone. We can review the matter, explain your options, and help determine the appropriate response.

Cease and Desist Letters

Have you received a cease and desist letter demanding that you stop using a trademark or service mark for your business? Before responding or changing how you use your brand, it is important to understand your rights and the claims being made against you.

In many cases, trademark cease and desist letters can be intimidating, especially if you are unfamiliar with trademark law. While some claims may have legitimate legal grounds, others may overstate the sender’s rights. Additionally, a letter may attempt to pressure you into abandoning a trademark or service mark that you may have the legal right to use.

For this reason, don’t assume you must immediately stop using your brand after receiving a cease and desist letter. Instead, an experienced trademark attorney can review the letter, evaluate the claims, and explain your legal options. Ultimately, understanding your rights can help you make an informed decision and take the appropriate steps to protect your business and trademark.
