Trademark & Intellectual Property Counsel

Engelhardt Law provides strategic trademark and intellectual property counsel to businesses, founders, and creative enterprises seeking to protect and enforce their brands. Our approach is practical, precise, and informed by an understanding that intellectual property is both a legal right and a business asset.

We advise clients at all stages of brand development—from early selection and clearance to registration, enforcement, and long-term portfolio strategy.

Trademark Strategy & Registration

Effective trademark protection begins before an application is filed. We assist clients in evaluating brand strength, identifying legal risk, and selecting marks that can be protected and enforced over time.

Our trademark services include:

  • Trademark clearance and risk assessment

  • U.S. trademark applications and prosecution

  • Responses to USPTO Office Actions

  • Trademark portfolio strategy and maintenance

All trademark matters are handled with an emphasis on minimizing risk, avoiding unnecessary disputes, and aligning legal decisions with business objectives.

Trademark Enforcement & Disputes

When trademark rights are challenged or infringed, we represent clients in enforcement actions and disputes with a focus on leverage and efficiency.

Our experience includes:

  • Cease-and-desist strategy and negotiation

  • Trademark opposition and cancellation proceedings

  • Infringement and unfair competition disputes

  • Coordination with broader business or litigation strategy

Enforcement decisions are made deliberately, with attention to cost, timing, and the client’s broader commercial goals.

Licensing & Brand Use

We advise clients on the licensing and authorized use of trademarks and intellectual property, including:

  • Trademark and brand licensing agreements

  • Co-branding and collaboration arrangements

  • Intellectual property provisions in commercial contracts

Licensing structures are designed to protect brand integrity while supporting growth and commercial flexibility.

Fee Structure

Engelhardt Law offers flexible fee arrangements for trademark and intellectual property matters. Depending on the nature and scope of the engagement, fee structures may include hourly billing or flat-fee arrangements for defined services.

All fee arrangements are discussed during consultation and confirmed in a written engagement agreement.
