Does your company or do your clients really require
“BIGLAW"
for their trademark and copyright matters?
Or not so biglaw℠...
Sometimes BIGLAW
is not required for the selection, protection and enforcement of your client or
company’s brand identity. Whether you
are a startup, have just achieved mezzanine financing or are in the leagues of
the midmarket companies, something smaller may be adequate.
Selecting the right referral
If you are a business lawyer, investment banker or
accountant, your referrals need to match the needs of your client. And sometimes the client does not need or
will not benefit from the resources that are associated with big firms.
In selecting a trademark attorney for your client, you might
consider whether the trademark attorney you propose to refer has extensive
prosecution experience, has litigated trademarks, has participated in Trademark
Trial and Appeal Board proceedings, whether the attorney personally has a
network of lawyers outside of the United States for foreign trademark
prosecution, whether there is a depth of
knowledge available, whether the attorney you talk to will personally handle your
trademark portfolio, and whether the attorney participates in professional
activities in his or her field.
