Registering a trademark in Florida is not easy. However, if you work with an experienced Trademark Lawyer<\/a>, like me, Attorney Romy B. Jurado<\/a>, then the trademark registration process can be a lot easier and far less stressful. Read on to learn what you need to know about registering a trademark in Florida and how I can help you.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Process of Registering a Trademark in Florida Starts with an In-Depth Analysis<\/b><\/span><\/h2>\n

The first thing we need to do to register your trademark is to analyze it to determine 1) whether it qualifies for registration, and 2) what steps we will need to take to successfully register it. If federal trademark protection is not available, I will recommend alternative methods to increase the level of legal protection of your trademarks and assist you in the development of new trademarks<\/a> to make sure they qualify for registration.<\/span><\/p>\n

Trademark Licensing Can Be a Great Alternative<\/b><\/span><\/h2>\n

Every year, I work with many clients who wish to obtain licenses to use protected intellectual property owned by other entities. This can be a great alternative to registering original trademarks. If you wish to obtain licenses to use someone else\u2019s trademarks, my legal team will help you negotiate the terms. Similarly, if you are looking to purchase or sell intellectual property assets, I will be there to aid you from the initial negotiations to the signing of the contract.<\/span><\/p>\n

Monitoring a Trademark is Easy When You Work with Experts<\/b><\/span><\/h2>\n

As stated above, registering a trademark in Florida is not easy; however, it is not nearly the hardest thing to do when it comes to trademarks \u2013 that title goes to monitoring a trademark once you have registered it. Unfortunately, when you register a trademark<\/a>, all you obtain is proof that you own it and have registered it. Registration does not protect your mark from infringement \u2013 at least not by itself. Even if you successfully register a trademark, someone could still use it without your permission, either maliciously or accidentally, and finding these infringers is YOUR job. <\/span><\/p>\n

However, when you work with me, it is MY job. I proactively monitor my clients\u2019 trademarks to make sure no one else is using them in the United States. If such infringement occurs, my skilled legal team will actively enforce and defend your trademark rights.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Some Lawsuits Are Inevitable<\/b><\/span><\/h2>\n

Many issues can arise before, during, and after the process of registering a trademark in Florida, and sometimes, these issues can result in lawsuits. If anyone challenges any of your trademarks, I will provide prosecution and litigation services to fight for your trademark rights.<\/span><\/p>\n

In some cases, it can be relatively easy to negotiate and come to terms with another business or individual regarding trademark issues. Unfortunately, sometimes there is simply no way to avoid lawsuits.<\/span> If you ever find yourself dealing with a case involving trademark infringement<\/a>, I will get my skilled team of trademark attorneys working on it immediately.<\/span><\/p>\n

Working with a Trademark Lawyer When Registering a Trademark is Simply Vital<\/b><\/span><\/h2>\n

Working with a lawyer when registering a trademark in Florida is not required; however, that does not mean it is not extremely necessary. Although no law says you need an attorney to register a trademark, working with someone who understands trademark law<\/a> is simply the best way to avoid making mistakes during the registration process. Unfortunately, these mistakes are easy to make, and even the tiniest one can result in the cancellation of your application.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

In the business world, protecting your trademarks is vital\u2026 and extremely difficult. Many inexperienced business owners choose to register their marks without help.
