Trademark Litigation

Trademarks allow for businesses to grow their personal brands and identities, so as to differentiate their goods and/or services within the current marketplace. Trademarks also allow one to market and protect intellectual property assets from Trademark infringement, Trademark dilution and Unfair Competition. If trademark infringement, dilution or unfair competition occurs, it is crucial to respond rapidly and effectively.

 

Ms. Williams is exceptionally well versed in assisting clients with prosecution and defense techniques as means to protect your trademark rights and your brand.
