Ata Patent Group handles trademark registration, opposition
against a trademark application, and trademark infringement law
suits for a wide range of companies. We draw on our significant
experience and blend it with a realistic understanding of the
business environment so as to wisely, but practically, apply the law
to meet clients' trademark needs to yield commercially viable
solutions. Further, we manage our trademark practice with a team of
skilled lawyers and legal assistants in order to provide our clients
with customized, client-focused services that are prompt, proactive,
and value-added.
To permit our clients to capitalize on their brands and trademarks, Ata Patent Group attorneys assist our clients in identifying, evaluating, and protecting important trademark properties to help them achieve the most effective protection for their proprietary trademarks and service marks. Further, we help our clients develop coherent brand strategies for registering and protecting their marks, in both the manner and jurisdictions that afford the greatest protection and in the context of their business goals and their budgets. In this regard, our attorneys manage multinational trademark portfolios and work with an extended network of trademark attorneys and agents in every significant market and jurisdictions around the world.
Ata Patent Group global trademark counseling incorporates all of the various registration vehicles available to its clients. Our attorneys have routinely counseled clients on the pros and cons of the international registration system for trademarks. Likewise, we work with our clients to develop strategies for "first to file" countries and "first to use" countries, as well as "use based" countries and "intent-to-use" countries. And of course, our attorneys have an intimate knowledge of Turkish Trademarks Code, known as the statute that encompasses trademarks.
The services of Ata Patent Group's trademark lawyers go beyond the protection and defense of trademarks to the broader field of unfair competition law, including trade dress infringement, false advertising, deceptive trade practices, misappropriation, passing off, defamation, right of publicity, parody, counterfeiting, and related issues.
The trademark services we offer our clients begin at a mark's inception. At the first stage of development of a branding strategy, we provide assistance in the identification of potential marks. In today's crowded market, choosing potential marks that can mature into a unique, competitive brand name is often daunting, particularly when there is a desire to marry a mark with an available domain name. We offer educational seminars in the proper selection of trademarks. In this early stage of development, we also conduct clearance searches to determine the availability of trademarks. We offer our clients proactive advice during the selection process and render clearance opinions on marks of interest. We draw upon our extensive litigation experience to guide our approach to counseling, prosecution, enforcement, ad review, and due diligence.
Of course, brand recognition is often more than just a word or logo. Ata Patent Group attorneys have significant experience in trade dress, package design, graphics, product configuration, collective membership marks, certification marks, trade names, Internet domain names, and even the use of color or sound as a trademark.
Further, our counsel draws upon the interplay between intersecting bodies of intellectual property law, such as copyrights, design patents, and utility patents. For example, we have experience in handling the full scope of Internet and e-commerce issues that can erode one's trademark rights, including data-mining, hyper-linking, domain name disputes, metatags, cyber-squatting, pay-for-placement, and web-related copyright and trademark infringement.
