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.
