About Shakera
Shakera’s practice focuses on business transactions and intellectual property. Shakera’s intellectual property law work primarily focuses on trademark law and includes:
- Trademark Applications: filing trademark applications with the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO), which then reviews the application and makes decisions regarding whether to register the trademark. If a trademark is registered, the applicant receives exclusive rights to use the trademark in commerce for the goods or services listed in the application.
- Trademark Search and Clearance: examining various sources to determine if a proposed trademark is available for use, including conducting a comprehensive likelihood of confusion analysis to determine the likelihood that the proposed trademark will be confused with existing trademarks.
- Trademark Office Action Responses: responding to letters and other correspondence from the USPTO that outline issues with a trademark application.
- Trademark Maintenance/Renewals: assisting with trademark renewal filings to keep trademark registrations active and prevent abandonment.
- Trademark Monitoring: monitoring and reviewing various sources for potential infringement or other unauthorized use of a registered trademark, as well as taking action to stop trademark infringement and unauthorized trademark use.
- Trademark Assignment: facilitating the transfer of ownership of trademarks.
- Trademark Licensing: assisting with granting permission to another party to use a trademark holder’s trademark in exchange for compensation, allowing trademark holders to expand their reach and generate passive revenue.
