A trademark gives you a legal monopoly and competitive advantage.
Secure and defend it.
My skills are broad: from trademark clearance searches, applications, maintenance, monitoring, enforcement to licensing. I have comprehensive experience in combating counterfeiters, offline and online. I enjoy each aspect, and love supporting clients in the protection of their trademarks.
