3,000. In baseball, 3,000 hits is a significant number; only 32 players have ever achieved that number and it is generally considered a shoo-in for the Hall of Fame. Why? Because the number indicates consistent performance over a long period of time.
I have just achieve 3,000 registrations attached to my name in the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office records. It took nearly 20 years to get there! I am honored that so many businesses have placed their trust in my work to help protect their brand. I don't believe that many other small firm attorneys have achieved this milestone.
In order to celebrate the milestone, I am providing a brand new offering at a greatly reduced rate of $3,000 per year to first 10 who take advantage of it: a Platinum Protection Package consisting of - 6 trademark application filings (excl. gov. fees)
- 2 international trademark application filings (excl. gov. fees)
- 10
knock out trademark searches
- 6 cease and desist letters, responses, or social media takedown requests
- quarterly brand strategy session (30 min.)
- review of trademark/IP provisions in up to 5 contracts or agreements with employees, contractors, or others
[This package is easily worth more than $20,000 - the application filings alone are worth more than double the fee.]
I look forward to working on the next 3,000 registrations!

Documenting the key events associated with a trademark
For brand owners, it is important and valuable to document several key steps in the brand development and launch process. Doing so can save tremendous hassles and/or costs later on in the registration process or in the event of a dispute.
Documenting the following, with relevant dates, is recommended:
- Creation or selection of the name;
- Intent to use the name with a product or service (business plans, steps to research and plan offering of particular goods or services in connection with the name);
- Commencing public use of the name (advertising, webpages, presentations, trade shows, etc); and
- First sales of the goods or services using the trademark.
