TM Searching & Clearance
Searching and clearing marks is an artform and it takes practice to master the process.

In this course, you'll learn how to effectively conduct searches at the USPTO utilizing the TESS database to conduct word and design mark searches. In addition, we will show you how to properly conduct a full availability search; what it is (and isn't), and show you how to review a full search from an outside vendor. We will show you how to analyze the full search and most importantly, how to write a trademark opinion letter, including how to develop a risk assessment scale.

How to Sell Trademarks to Clients
If you’re new to trademark law or wondering if trademark law is for you, then you won't want to miss this webinar we recorded in April 2023. It's the perfect introduction so you can understand trademarks basics and why trademark law might be the perfect fit for your practice, and more importantly how you can sell it to your small business clients. Trademark law requires one bar, it’s ideally suited to a virtual practice, and nearly all businesses (especially if they operate online) will require at least one trademark. As a trademark lawyer you can represent clients nationwide at the USPTO and the work is diverse and fun!
