I absolutely love helping my clients buy their first home, sell their starters, upgrade to their next big adventure, or transition to their next phase of life. The confidence my clients have going into a transaction and through the whole process is one of the most rewarding aspects of practicing this type of law. My very first class in law school was property law, and let me tell you, this was like nothing I’d ever experienced. I remember vividly cracking open that big red book and staring at the pages not having the faintest idea what I was actually reading. Despite those initial scary moments, I grew to love property law. My obsession with real estate law was solidified when I was working in Virginia at a law firm outside DC. I ran the settlement (escrow) department and learned the ins and outs of transactions and the unique needs of the parties. My husband and I bought our first home in Virginia in 2012 and despite being an attorney, there was so much we didn’t know, especially when it came to our HOA and our mortgage. Our real estate agent was a wonderful resource for finding our home and negotiating some of the key terms, but there was something missing in the process. I’ve spent the last 10 years helping those who were in the same situation we were in better understand the process.

Trademark Legal Questions and Answers

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

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.

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.
