Business lawyer serving Thousand Oaks, CA

Thousand Oaks is home to businesses across many industries, including professional services, restaurants, technology companies, creative businesses, and startups. As your business grows, protecting your brand and intellectual property becomes increasingly important. We help Thousand Oaks business owners with trademark registration and other intellectual property matters.

Attorney Roger Doumanian has extensive experience helping businesses protect their names, logos, slogans, product brands, and other trademarks. 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. His experience allows him to assist business owners with registering and protecting trade and service marks throughout the United States.

For example, you may want to trademark the name of your Thousand Oaks restaurant, technology company, professional practice, or another business. We also assist with wine and liquor brand trademarks, company slogans, product names, and other intellectual property. If the USPTO has refused your application or an examining attorney has raised concerns about your mark, we can review the issue, explain your options, and help you prepare an appropriate response.

Cease and Desist Letters

Have you received a cease and desist letter demanding that you stop using a trademark or service mark you believe you have the right to use? If you’re unsure how to respond, it’s important to understand your legal rights before taking action.

A carefully drafted cease and desist letter can be intimidating, especially if you’re not familiar with trademark law. In some cases, the sender may have legitimate claims and legal grounds for requesting that you stop using the disputed trademark. However, not every claim is necessarily valid. Some letters may overstate the sender’s rights or attempt to pressure you into giving up a trademark or service mark you may have the right to use.

If you’ve received a cease and desist letter regarding a trademark, don’t assume that you have to immediately stop using your brand. Speak with an experienced trademark attorney first. We can review the letter, evaluate the claims being made, and help you understand your options and potential defenses. You may have trademark rights or other legal protections you weren’t aware of.
