Trademark Practice Group
Your brand is the face of your business. It distinguishes you from all the others. Given how much you have invested or will invest in developing a reputation of quality, your brand is probably your most valuable asset. Keep your brand yours through trademark law.
Peacock Law is a full-service Intellectual Property firm with the trademark expertise you need to clear, secure and protect your brand in trademark law, including the following services: Brand Creation and Strategy Counseling; Clearance/Infringement Liability Searches and Opinions; Registration and Maintenance of Registrations; Consent and Co-Existence Agreements; Licensing Agreements; Acquisitions; Monitoring; Infringement Litigation; Trademark Trial and Appeal Board (TTAB) litigation including Oppositions; Cancellations; and Domain Name Disputes (including under Uniform Domain-Name Dispute Resolution Policy).

Trademarks can be licensed in ways that expand your business around the world while maintaining the quality of products and services your trademark is known for. As a full-service IP law firm, Peacock Law assists its customers at every phase of the trademark process: branding, registration, maintenance, licensing, and enforcement. We also assist our clients with obtaining trademark registrations abroad.
