I'm a California-licensed attorney with 18+ years of experience helping everyone from Fortune 500 companies and venture-backed startups to individuals navigating real-life legal situations. I bring an high degree of emotional intelligence to every matter, and am also certified as both a coach and as a counselor. My career started at Fenwick & West, one of Silicon Valley's top law firms, where I worked alongside names like Google, Airbnb, Kleiner Perkins, and Sequoia Capital. From there I moved in - house at companies like Cloudflare, Autodesk, and Enphase - which gave me a practical, business-minded perspective that I bring to every client, no matter the size of the matter. Today I work with businesses and individuals alike. On the business side, that means commercial contracts, leases, startup corporate work, and serving as a fractional general counsel for companies that need a trusted legal partner without the overhead. On the personal side, I help individuals with employment matters, disputes, demand letters, contract review, and the kind of everyday legal situations where you just need someone knowledgeable in your corner. I'm direct, responsive, and I speak plain English — not legalese. Whether you're a founder closing your first deal or an individual facing a situation you've never navigated before, I'll give you the same level of attention and care.

I'm the principal attorney at FarrowLaw PC, a California business and commercial law firm based in Long Beach. My practice covers transactional work, employment law, litigation, and day-to-day advisory matters for business clients — essentially, I help companies make clear-eyed decisions about risk, contracts, and strategy without the usual legal hedging. Before law, I trained in computer science and worked in-house at technology companies, which gives me a working fluency in how tech businesses actually operate. A significant portion of my practice involves representing tech and startup clients, where that background lets me engage with technical realities rather than abstract them away. If you're working with a client who needs a practical California business lawyer — particularly one who speaks the language of tech — I'd welcome the introduction.

Trademark Legal Questions and Answers

Trademark

Trademark Cease And Desist

California

Asked on May 2, 2025

Can I ignore a trademark cease and desist letter if I believe my use of the mark falls under fair use?

I recently received a cease and desist letter from a company claiming that my use of their trademark infringes on their rights, but I believe my use of the mark falls under fair use as I am using it for commentary and criticism purposes. I am unsure if I should ignore the letter or if I need to take any legal action to protect myself.

Tabetha H.

Answered May 13, 2025

Ignoring a trademark cease and desist letter is risky, even with a potential fair use defense. While trademark fair use for commentary and criticism is recognized, its application depends on specific factors like how prominently you're using the mark, whether consumers might be confused, and if your use is commercial. Ignoring the letter could lead to escalation, including a lawsuit where you'd need to defend yourself at significant expense. A better approach is sending a response letter explaining your fair use position and why your use doesn't constitute infringement. This demonstrates you're taking the matter seriously while asserting your rights. Consider consulting with an IP attorney to evaluate the strength of your fair use defense and craft an appropriate response that might prevent further legal action.

Trademark Application

California

Asked on Oct 21, 2024

Can I trademark a phrase that includes a commonly used word?

I am an entrepreneur looking to start a clothing brand, and I have come up with a catchy phrase that I believe would be a great fit for my brand. However, the phrase includes a commonly used word. I am wondering if it is possible to trademark this phrase, considering the presence of the commonly used word, and what steps I would need to take in order to do so.

Dolan W.

Answered Nov 5, 2024

Hello! Yes, you can trademark a phrase that includes a commonly used word, but there are specific considerations. In trademark law, the distinctiveness of the phrase as a whole is what matters. A commonly used word on its own might not qualify for trademark protection if it is way too generic or descriptive. However, when combined into a unique phrase that consumers could associate with your brand, it can become eligible for trademark protection. Here’s an example: Suppose your phrase is “Boldly You” for a clothing brand focused on self-expression. While “Boldly” and “You” are both commonly used words, the combination “Boldly You” is unique and could be distinctive enough for consumers to recognize it as representing your brand, especially if it isn’t merely describing the products directly. Nevertheless, make sure your phrase has a unique or distinctive character that is more than just descriptive of the clothing products you plan to sell.. Best of luck, Dolan

Asked on Jun 4, 2025

Can I trademark a phrase that is already being used by another company?

I recently came up with a catchy phrase that I believe would be a great brand name for my new business. However, upon conducting a search, I discovered that a different company is already using a similar phrase for their products. I'm wondering if it's possible to still trademark my phrase, considering the potential for confusion and infringement, or if I should come up with a different brand name altogether.

Sara S.

Answered Jul 18, 2025

Short answer: probably not. It is best to consult with an experienced trademark attorney regarding this and the USPTO process for trademark usage.

Trademark Assignment Agreement

Maryland

Asked on May 10, 2025

Can a trademark assignment agreement be terminated if the assignee fails to meet certain conditions?

Can a trademark assignment agreement be terminated if the assignee fails to meet certain conditions, such as failing to actively use the trademark or not maintaining the quality standards set forth in the agreement? I have recently assigned a trademark to another company, but I am concerned that they are not using the trademark as agreed upon and are damaging its reputation. I want to know if there are any legal grounds for terminating the assignment agreement and reclaiming the trademark.

Sara S.

Answered Jun 17, 2025

Hi, It depends on what your assignment agreement termination provision permits, and what is described as a breach of such agreement (material or no). You can learn more by discussing this with a licensed intellectual property attorney.

Trademark Search

New York

Asked on Nov 8, 2024

Can you explain the process of conducting a trademark search and its importance for my business?

I am in the process of starting a new business and want to ensure that the name and logo I have chosen are not already trademarked by someone else. I have heard about the importance of conducting a thorough trademark search to avoid potential legal issues down the line. I would like to understand the steps involved in conducting a trademark search, the resources available for conducting one, and the potential consequences of not conducting a search before using a trademark.

Danny J.

Answered Dec 14, 2024

I'd be happy to explain the process of conducting a trademark search and its critical importance for your new business venture. This is a crucial step in protecting your brand and avoiding potential legal pitfalls. Here's a brief overview of the trademark search process: 1. **Preliminary Search** - Start with a basic online search using search engines and social media platforms - Check the USPTO's Trademark Electronic Search System (TESS) for existing federal trademarks 2. **Comprehensive Search** - Expand your search to state trademark databases - Look for common law trademarks (unregistered but in use) - Consider international databases if you plan to operate globally 3. **Analysis of Results** - Evaluate the similarity of existing marks to your proposed trademark - Assess the likelihood of confusion in the marketplace 4. **Decision Making** - Determine if your desired trademark is available or if modifications are needed The importance of a thorough trademark search cannot be overstated. It helps: - Prevent potential infringement claims - Save time and resources in rebranding if conflicts are discovered later - Strengthen your trademark application if you decide to register While it's possible to conduct a basic search on your own, the process can be complex and time-consuming. Interpreting the results requires a deep understanding of trademark law and precedents. Overlooking a similar mark or misinterpreting search results could lead to significant legal and financial consequences. Given the complexities involved and the potential risks to your new business, it's often advisable to consult with a trademark attorney. A professional, like myself, can provide a comprehensive search, offer expert analysis of the results, and guide you through the next steps, whether that's proceeding with registration or exploring alternative options. Would you like more detailed information on any specific aspect of the trademark search process or how professional assistance could benefit your particular situation? Feel free to reach out to me.
