- Intellectual PropertyI am a member of the VA State Bar and licensed to represent others before the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (U.S. PTO) in patent and trademark matters. I can represent anyone before the U.S. PTO. I have prosecuted numerous patents for foreign and domestic clients. After practicing intellectual property law in the Washington D.C./ Northern Virginia Area, I decided to return to Hampton Roads to establish an intellectual property boutique not commonly seen outside of the Washington D.C. area.
- Unfair CompetitionFederal registration rights generally take precedence over state registration and provide several procedural advantages. First, your registered mark will be listed on trademark searches obtained by others. This aids in eliminating the possibility of someone else unintentionally infringing on your trademark. Second, it gives federal courts jurisdiction to hear any infringement or counterfeiting claims as well as any claims relating to unfair competition. Your registered trademark shifts the burden of proof to anyone challenging those rights and may provide conclusive evidence for an infringement proceeding. Third, you can file your registration with the U. S. Customs Service to prevent importation of infringing foreign goods. Fourth, you will receive greater geographic rights than would be possible under common law. Fifth, and possibly most importantly, registration is required for increased remedies which you may seek against counterfeiters in litigation.
