Somerville, MA - Starting a business should be fun, and Cohn Legal, PLLC, ensures that startups and growing businesses spend more time exploring new markets, rather than worrying about the legal risks associated with their brands. The Boston trademark attorney is dedicated to protecting clients' trademarks and intellectual property in Massachusetts and throughout the United States.
In Massachusetts, a trademark is a legally recognized element that identifies and distinguishes goods, services, or ideas in the marketplace, thus protecting the intellectual property rights of businesses and individuals and preventing others from using a similar mark that could create confusion. By registering a trademark, a business or individual gains exclusive rights to use that element within a geographical region while also experiencing the presumption of nationwide validity.
Cohn Legal, PLLC has significant experience securing trademark protection for words, logos, symbols, slogans, colors, sounds, and product packaging before government agencies, including the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).
Once the law firm registers a trademark, the client enjoys brand recognition, public trust, and the ability to build and protect brand value, while allowing consumers to make informed decisions by associating a certain level of quality/origin with a product or service. With guidance from the team, trademark owners can also enforce their trademark rights by taking legal action against any person or business that uses the trademark without permission, leading to potential damages or injunctions.
To determine whether a trademark is available, Cohn Legal, PLLC conducts a clearance search of trademark databases, including the USPTO's TESS (Trademark Electronic Search System). When doing this, the team looks for phonetic, visual, or conceptual similarities before performing a goods and services classification, checking the availability of domain names that closely match a client's proposed trademark, or assessing potential risks.
While the trademark approval process with the USPTO typically takes between 8 months to a year, individuals and businesses may receive certain protections as soon as they file their application. If the trademark is approved, they may use the ® symbol for registered marks or the ™ symbol for unregistered marks, depending on the level of legal protection and registration status.
In addition to trademark legal services, Cohn Legal, PLLC is passionate about educating clients on TEAS, trial/appeal boards, the appropriate number of trademarks, transferring trademark ownership, foreign trademarking, and more.
This comprehensive approach to service has earned them many glowing reviews.

I highly recommend Abe and Cohn Legal to anyone seeking knowledgeable and detail-oriented trademark counsel." Quan, satisfied client.
