Protect Your Assets With Trademark Services for Small Businesses
In the knowledge economy, ideas are currency. So when you build business assets like your name, slogan, or a tried-and-true original sales methodology, you need to protect them as you would protect any valuable equipment, goods, and other capital resources.
With over 15 years of multifaceted experience, the Law Office of Stacey-Ann Taylor helps you assess, file, enforce and defend your business trademarks and other intellectual property. It’s not just about filling out paperwork; I provide additional services including but not limited to:
- Advising on the strength of a mark and why some trademarks are more desirable than others from legal and strategic perspectives.

- Registering trademarks with the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).
What are the Benefits of Hiring a Trademark Attorney?
Hiring a trademark lawyer for your small business gives you distinct advantages. While your great ideas are bound to revolutionize the world, registering a trademark allows you to take your time and develop your business plan further. Don’t go at it alone – you want to have an experienced attorney working on your behalf to protect your interests.
Protect yourself against someone else’s claim of trademark infringement. Many trademark lawyers help you protect your assets — but, in today’s digital era of “creative use” and “fair use” terms, the lines are often blurred. As your back pocket legal business advisor, I’ll help you avoid getting a Cease and Desist Letter for trademark infringement. If you ever find yourself up against the possibility of litigation, don’t panic. Reach out, and I’ll guide you through the entire process.
Maximize the value of your intangible assets. Once you’ve established a baseline evaluation of your intangible assets, I’ll help you answer such questions as: “Can my trademark help me stand out from competitors?” or “Is a trademark sufficient, or do I need alternate or additional registrations?“
These probing questions can help us get a fresh perspective on the value of your business IP assets.
Watch for blatant theft of your property and have the paperwork to back up any claims. Effective IP protection strategy is all about anticipating where you may be vulnerable, filing timely registrations, and getting the process started before anyone else commercially uses your idea — or an idea so similar that it sparks a conflict.
There may not be any “new” ideas under the sun but, for business owners, even incremental shifts in business processes, innovative operations changes, or new sales methods can be the keys to consistent and passive profits. Allow me to help you protect these profits by ensuring that you file the proper paperwork at the right time. This way, we’ll have the appropriate paperwork on hand to protect your business against any competing claims.
How do we Protect Your Brand?
We begin with registration.
Registering a trademark does not, in and of itself prevent others from using the same or a similar trademark or service mark. To stop others from using your trademark, you must have an enforceable registration against third parties. Federal registration is the most valuable form of trademark registration.
And we remain prepared to respond.
What if we find someone using your trademarks? The Law Office of Stacey-Ann Taylor will inform that individual or business through a Cease and Desist Letter that you have registered your trademarks and intend to enforce them by taking legal action. Often, sending a Cease and Desist Letter will be enough to stop further unauthorized use of your trademark by the other party.
