Trademark

Brands and the goodwill they represent are critical to success in the marketplace. Cesari and McKenna works with clients to create and implement comprehensive brand protection strategies that are both effective and cost efficient. This often begins with the selection of the marks themselves. We assist clients in evaluating potential marks, both to identify potential third party rights and to evaluate the marks’ intrinsic capability of protection. It often then extends then to selecting jurisdictions and implementing filing strategies. When necessary, it culminates in enforcement action to defend exclusivity and other rights.
