Lawyers and Law firms can get registered trademarks on their names, logos, or slogans. Each trademark is for specific service ID listings. There are 95 trademark ID listings under "Law," 5 ID listings under "Lawyer," 211 ID listings under "Legal," 15 ID Listings under "Litigation," and 18 ID Listings under "Attorney." When I register your trademark, I spend time learning about you and what you do, and then choose the exactly accurate ID Listings that describe the services you provide.
Each service listing is part of a Class. Classes for the services provided by lawyers or law firms may come under Classes 16 (Printed materials), 35 (Business administration and office), 41 (Education), 42 (Technology and computer services), or 45 (Legal Services). Each Class has its own nuance. When I am working on your Trademark, I spend time reading your website, talking and emailing with you, to learn exactly which services you provide and for whom and how. Then I match those up with Accepted Listings from the US Trademark Office.
A Trademark Listing becomes "Accepted" after careful consideration by the US Trademark Office. It's important to use "Accepted" listings to turn your Trademark Application into a Registered Trademark.
Here is a sampling of the many Accepted Trademark ID Listings that may describe the services provided by a lawyer or law firm:
- Legal services, namely, providing customized information, counseling, advice and litigation services in all areas of immigration law
- Legal services, namely, providing customized information, counseling, advice and litigation services in all areas of international law
- Legal services, namely, providing customized information, counseling, advice and litigation services in all areas of employment and labor law for both employees and employers
- Consultancy in the field of ethics laws
- Litigation services [services of a lawyer]
AND there are hundreds more Trademark Service ID Listings that describe the services provided by a lawyer or law firm. Choosing the Classes and Listings so they accurately describe exactly the services you provide is the difference between your trademark application being accepted or denied.
