Federal Trademark Registration

Most Atlanta businesses benefit from federal trademark protection, which provides nationwide rights and stronger enforcement options. We handle the entire USPTO application process, from initial search through final registration.

Georgia State Trademark Registration

For businesses operating primarily within Georgia, state trademark registration offers cost-effective protection and faster processing times. We'll help you determine if state registration makes sense for your Atlanta business.

Trademark Search & Clearance

Before investing in marketing and branding, we conduct thorough searches of federal, state, and common law trademark databases. This prevents costly conflicts and ensures your chosen mark is available for use in Atlanta and beyond.

Trademark Portfolio Management

As your Atlanta business grows, we help manage trademark renewals, monitor for potential infringement, and expand protection to new products or services.

Tech Startups & SaaS Companies

Atlanta's booming tech sector requires sophisticated brand protection strategies. We help software companies, fintech startups, and digital agencies secure trademark rights for their platforms, apps, and services.

Healthcare & Biotech

From medical device companies in Alpharetta to healthcare practices throughout metro Atlanta, we understand the unique trademark considerations in regulated industries.

Food & Beverage Brands

Atlanta's vibrant food scene includes restaurants, food trucks, breweries, and specialty food manufacturers. We help culinary entrepreneurs protect their restaurant names, signature dishes, and product brands.

Creative Services

Marketing agencies, design firms, and creative professionals in Atlanta need trademark protection for their service marks and creative methodologies.

Georgia offers state trademarks registration through the Secretary of State's office, providing protection within state borders. For Atlanta businesses planning regional or national expansion, federal registration typically offers better long-term value.

Georgia also recognizes common law trademarks rights, meaning businesses can gain some protection simply by using a mark in commerce within the state. However, registered marks provide stronger legal remedies and clearer ownership rights.
