Trademark Services

We offer comprehensive trademark services for businesses seeking to protect their brand. Syed Law has filed hundreds of trademarks before the United States Patent and Trademark Office (“USPTO”).

Our trademark filing and response services are flat fee, not by the hour.

Trademark Cease-and Desist Letter

Syed Law offers two types of trademark services for cease-and-desist letters: (1) simple or (2) complex cease-and-desist letter. The simple cease-and-desist letter lays out a short fact background and demands infringers stop their unlawful behavior plus one short email communication demanding compliance.

The complex cease-and-desist letter does the same except it adds detailed statements of law, outlines the legal consequences of continued infringement, includes negotiations (these are common and there is a often back and forth discussions), and includes settlement. Most of my clients find the complex cease-and-desist letter significantly more helpful in resolving disputes. In certain circumstances, we can add a draft complaint to be sent alongside the letter and inform the infringer that we will file the document in court.
