Trademark Registrations
We realize that an association’s trademarks are some of its most valuable assets. Each association’s name, logos, and acronym needs to be protected. Associations also have unique trademark issues. Unlike most for-profit entities, associations have membership marks and certification marks that have different trademark registration requirements. GKG Law’s Association Practice Group assists associations in registering and protecting all their marks, both in the United States and internationally. We conduct comprehensive trademark searches to ensure that a mark is available to use, and take the time to ensure that your trademark is properly classified and registered with the United States Patent and Trademark Office. We can assist associations with responding to any Office Actions and defending against any Notices of Opposition. We have extensive expertise in trademark enforcement, assignment, and licensing.
