There’s also a particular weakness in the New York fashion and consumer goods markets. Counterfeit operations specifically target brands with well-known names that are not registered federally because it is difficult and costly to enforce an unregistered mark. Federal trademark registration allows you to record your mark with US Customs to prevent infringing imports from entering into the market.

united states trademark registrations and law (USTML) provides trademark registration, renewal and monitoring services for New York businesses in all of these sectors. We understand the unique challenges facing applicants for registration in the fashion and consumer goods, financial, food and media classes at the US Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO). We file applications that are likely to clear examination, are effective when they are inevitably attacked by the USPTO, and monitor your registered mark for infringements and other problems after it has been granted.
