We are excited to announce that Gugliotta & Gugliotta, LPA is now offering a comprehensive suite of services to help you ensure that your trademarks and brand names stay protected! With these annual services, you can effectively police your trademark.

Unfortunately, if you fail to police instances of infringement on your trademark, or otherwise ignore uses that could deteriorate your brand’s strength, your trademark runs the risk of becoming generic. This would be a major blow, as it would allow any and all of your competitors to use the trademark freely. You don’t want that, and neither do we! With our new comprehensive trademark monitoring services, you can rest assured that nobody is using your trademark in a way that would damage your intellectual property.

Our most comprehensive offering is our Annual U.S. Comprehensive Monitoring Subscription. This service will let you know if any similar trademark application have been approved by the USPTO and published in the Official Gazette. This will let you take proper action in order to defend your trademark by filing an appropriate Notice of Opposition. In addition, this service also searches for confusingly similar instances in top-level domains and general and even industry-specific common law resources, like databases, periodicals, trade journals, and more! This allows you to better monitor instances of competitors who may be infringing on your trademarks. From there, you can take appropriate measures to stop them from infringing on your valuable brand identity. This service provides our clients the peace of mind in knowing that they won’t lose their trademark rights due to lackadaisical policing and negligence. For an annual subscription of US$3,000.00 (with no obligation for more than a single year!), our licensed trademark attorneys will deliver to you frequent reports of any and all instances of the above red flags, thereby allowing you to ensure competitors aren’t damaging your brand, or worse—stealing your customers!

In addition, we are thrilled to announce our new lower-cost Annual U.S. Federal Monitoring Subscription. This new service will let you know as soon as any similar trademark applications have been published in the USPTO Official Gazette, so that you are alerted to them and can take swift action to oppose. We understand that not every brand name is equally as important or equally as prone to infringement (at least initially), and that our Annual U.S. Comprehensive Monitoring Service may be overkill for some of our clients and some of their brands. However, we don’t think that means those clients should be left out to dry with no easy method of monitoring significant threats to their intellectual property rights! That’s why we have worked very hard to bring you our new Annual U.S. Federal Monitoring service for an annual subscription of just USD$500.00 with no obligation for more than a single year. We think that this is an exceptional value for an essential trademark service that all trademark owners should consider.

If you are interested in purchasing either our Annual U.S. Comprehensive Monitoring Subscription or our Annual U.S. Federal Monitoring Subscription, please reach out to us by phone at 330-331-9455 or by email at trademarks@inventorshelp.com. Alternatively, we have launched a revamped website to allow you to e-commerce order select legal services directly from our website.

We are excited to announce that we are now offering a comprehensive suite of trademark clearance searches, to ensure that there are no major hurdles that would jeopardize your trademark application.

Previously, we would provide complementary, preliminary, and informal federal trademark searches to our clients. This gave our clients a brief idea of what the landscape looked like before filing while understanding the financial restrictions that many of our clients — mostly entrepreneurs and small business owner. Now, however, we are happy to offer more comprehensive options to give our clients a much more thorough understanding of the strengths and weaknesses of their proposed brand names. For this reason, we strongly recommend that our clients—both new and existing—have at least one of these services performed for every trademark that they are interested. Simply put, the risks are too high for a small business owner to invest in a brand identity before fully realizing this critical information.

By performing one of these recommended trademark searches, our clients will be able to better understand the landscape and go into the trademark application process with the weapon of knowing what else is out there. With these services, we can better serve our clients by determining whether a proposed brand name could end up being rejected on the substantive ground that another confusingly-similar mark exists.

If you order our new U.S. Comprehensive Search, we will let you know within four (4) business days whether or not there are confusingly similar marks already filed in the U.S., whether with the USPTO or on one of 51 state trademark registries. Additionally, our U.S. Comprehensive Search will uncover common-law uses of similar marks that don’t have any trademark filings associated with them, but which could nonetheless prove a substantial risk. We are happy to announce that we will be offering this thorough and comprehensive search report, powered by industry-leading Corsearch trademark searching software, for a flat fee rate of USD$1,500.00.

If you order our new U.S. Federal Clearance Search, we will provide you next-day insight as to identical and similar marks filed federally in the U.S. While this service is less comprehensive than our U.S. Comprehensive Search, it offers same-day turnaround and the confidence to know whether or not any confusingly similar trademarks are currently filed with the USPTO. With this knowledge, we will put together a written recommendation for you as to whether or not your proposed brand name is worth pursuing, or whether you should consider re-branding. We are happy to announce that this budget-friendly service, powered but professional grade TrademarkNow trademark searching software, is available for a flat fee rate of just USD$750.00.
