Every successful entrepreneur knows that success builds upon itself. You’ve spent time, money and effort to make your customers happy in order to secure an ever increasing flow of referrals and greater stature in your business community, with an eye on growing your bottom line. This intangible value that you've built up in your business is commonly known as “goodwill” and may be protected as your intellectual property.
The goodwill of your business is part and parcel with your identity, whether you refer to that identity as your business or trade name, logo, or brand identity, you’re talking about trademark rights.
The Law Office of Paul K. Siepmann has extensive experience in securing and enforcing trademark rights. Mr. Siepmann started his career at the benchmark Fortune 500 Harley-Davidson Motor Company as an Intellectual Property attorney and counts among his clients numerous regional and local businesses, including the internationally renowned Blue Point Brewing Company™ (Brewers of the international Gold-Medal winning TOASTED LAGER®), Keegan Ales®, Inc. (the Hudson valley’s top brew house), Long Island’s famous BrickHouse Brewery™, as well as many other successful establishments.
By obtaining a Federal Trademark Registration, you can not only prevent others from trading on your goodwill as represented by your established trademarks -- you can also add many valuable arrows to your quiver in any dispute over those rights. With a Federal Trademark Registration you can obtain a permanent injunction preventing the infringer from using your trademark or one confusingly similar to your trademark; you can seek to have your legal fees paid by an infringer ; you can be compensated for your lost profits; you can make the pirate disgorge their profits to you. The cost of having an experienced professional like Paul K. Siepmann handle your registration is minimal compared to the value you'll gain.
Even without a Federal Trademark Registration, if you've been using your trademark in commerce, you have established common-law rights in that mark. Paul K. Siepmann has successfully fought for clients without federally registered trademarks and obtained both Injunctions and monetary judgments against infringers. You can stack the odds in your favor with an experienced litigator familiar with both the Federal Lanham Act as well as New York's unfair competition laws!
Whether someone else is eating your lunch, or you've been accused of eating theirs, you don't want to go into that fight without an experienced trademark attorney at your side. Call today to discuss your trademark or unfair competition issues with Paul K. Siepmann, Esq.
