Hiring A Trademark Lawyer

>> Saturday, April 14, 2012

Businesses as well as individuals hire trademark lawyers for various reasons. In general, it makes good business sense and more often than not saves the client a lot of money in the long run. According to the USPTO, only 20 percent of existing names have been submitted for trademarking. This is an astonishing declaration considering the number of business operating nationwide. It is important to carry out an exhaustive and comprehensive research before you begin the trademark process. Statistics published by the USPTO show that about 39 percent of applications are rejected every year. This is because of filing errors and mistakes as well as little or no research beforehand. This shows clearly a trademark lawyer is the person to see and consult for advice. The following are some of the factors you should consider before choosing an attorney.

Experience

It is advisable to hire a trademark lawyer who solely handles trademark related issues. Choosing to trust an attorney who does not exclusively practice trademark law is a poor choice. Protecting your brand should be entrusted to someone who has knowledge of current trademark legislation. It does not make sense to visit a psychiatrist if you have a dental problem even though both are doctors. Use online resources to find out the practice area your lawyer is involved in.

Look Beyond The Advertising Hype

The advertising industry plays an important role by providing consumers with product information. However, you should take note that there is a lot of hype and hoopla accompanying such advertisements. You need to understand anyone can access search engine advertising. In addition, referral services cannot be wholly trusted because participating lawyers are not evaluated. This does not mean attorneys who advertise their services cannot be trusted. It is up to you to carry out due diligence and ensure you hire an attorney who is knowledgeable and experienced.

Cost

Charges across the legal industry vary widely and there is essentially no standard fee as a result of the whole industry being service-based. You are bound to come across attorneys charging anywhere from $200 to $800 per hour. The wide discrepancy should not be construed to mean some lawyers offer sub-standard services while others are ripping off clients. Most of the highly priced attorneys have been practicing for many years gaining invaluable knowledge in the process. The rule of thumb is to choose a trademark lawyer whose hourly rates or fees are competitive.

In addition to the factors discussed above, communication between you and your lawyer should be regular. This would serve to keep you informed on the latest legal developments.

Hiring A Trademark Attorney

Retaining a trademark attorney is the best way to ensure that the design that you have created to represent yourself, your ideas or your business stays in your exclusive possession. Logos, business names or tag lines are powerful ways to publicize yourself and you do not want to lose them or their power due to carelessness. Seek out a trademark attorney to help you register your trademark so that it remains as a lasting sign of your presence in the business place.

What is a Trademark Attorney?

Lawyers can choose to specialize in any area of law. Those who concentrate on matters involving patents sometimes specialize further by focusing entirely on trademarks. They become experts at helping their clients develop and preserve trademark in the market place. They can give legal advice and defend the rights of clients with legal trademarks.

How You Can Use a Trademark Attorney

It is entirely possible to register your trademark on your own. The process, carried out through the US Patent & Trademark Office, does not require the assistance of an attorney. Any educated person can be handle the paperwork, but it is in the details where an experienced trademark attorney can be worth every penny. There are subtle aspects of trademark law and practice which might be better handled by a lawyer. A trademark attorney can also facilitate the process for you and make it much easier. If your specialty is in business ideas, you probably do not want to waste your efforts on legal issues when you could have an expert handle it for you.

Having a trademark attorney also ensures that you do not regret some small oversight that you make during the registration process. Small errors can be responsible for the actual failure of the whole process, requiring you to start again or even lose the chance to establish your trademark. This can also result in a financial loss when you have to pay to re-file.

Attorneys are not legally required in any aspect of your life. You probably know that you are not required to use a lawyer in court when you are brought up on criminal charges. However, most people agree that such a situation is best handled by someone who has spent their life doing that sort of work. The same reasoning applies to the hiring of a trademark attorney. You do not need to invest your time into learning about trademark law. Let an expert handle that for you.

>> Friday, April 13, 2012

Parenting teenagersParenting teenagers is a big challenge for every parent. Teens are stubborn and rule breakers; yet at the same time vulnerable and passionate - plus teen behavior is often misunderstood. Thus, parents have to be more understanding and compassionate while raising adolescents. Here are some effective tips on how to parent teens effectively in order to lead them to a bright and successful future.

The most important ingredient to developing a good parent teen relationship is to spend quality time with your child. If you are too busy during the day, make sure to have a family dinner together. Take interest in their high school curriculum, the sport events, debates, fests, friends etc. so that your teen feels that you care about his/her personal issues. Discuss your thoughts, share jokes, and encourage your teen to do the same.

When discussing problems, try not to be too preachy with your troubled teen - they hate lectures even if it’s for their own good. And yes, never yell or shout at them as it would hurt their ego and worsen the situation further. Be stern yet comforting so that they feel relaxed to disclose their issues with you. Try to understand them from their point of view.

What Does My Name Mean? The Meaning of Names Can be Very Helpful for Many

>> Tuesday, March 20, 2012

There is power in a name. Our very sense of reality is governed by the language we use. We name objects, nations, companies, and concepts with the greatest of care to ensure that the names convey the essence of what we are representing. And yet, many people do not consider the potential importance of human names. It is not uncommon for parents to name their children solely on their idea of what sounds pleasant to them, or exotic, without any real thought about meaning. This is not necessarily a bad thing, but people who assign names without looking into the history, origin, and significance of those names may be missing out on some fascinating information.

For parents, knowing name meanings can greatly help to narrow down decisions in the selection of names for children. If it comes down to a tie, it makes sense to pick the name with the most desirable or appropriate meaning. Similarly, the origin of the name may play a role in the selection, especially if the family would like to preserve its heritage through the assigning of names linked to the family nationality, culture, or religion.

Most of us are assigned our names at birth – we have no control over them, unless we want to legally change our names later in life. Even if our parents were unaware of the meanings of the names that they assigned us, many people find a new sense of identity when they investigate the meaning and origins of their names. Around the world, children ask, “what does my name mean?" In some cases, they find that their families did know the meaning of the name when it was selected, but did not mention it for whatever reason. In other cases, the families picked the name for aesthetic reasons only. Even if the name meaning is coincidence, many researchers of name meanings connect an idea of faith or destiny to the meanings of names. In the minds of many, discovering the meaning of their names, at any age, helps to put perspective on their lives and personalities. Names with meanings like “perseverance," “peace-maker," or “patience" can bring comfort and a sense of peace and purpose to those who may believe that the events of their lives, good or bad, are linked to a higher cause.
