Guard Your Genius with Noir IP
TRADEMARK LAW
The risks and vulnerabilities in owning and establishing a viable brand are inherent, but many are also avoidable. By registering your trademark(s) with the United States Patent and Trademark Office, you’re taking an essential step towards protecting your intellectual property, mitigating risk and establishing exclusive rights to the use of your brand, saving you thousands of dollars and undue stress.
While the trademark process can appear a bit complex for most business owners, it isn’t something you can “put off” until you’ve had significant growth. The risk of waiting and the damage it causes can be catastrophic to a growing business.
Imagine receiving a demand letter with legal terms you don’t... understand. What happens when you’re forced to change your business name because someone across the country trademarked it before you had the chance to? Imagine operating your business for years, only to discover that someone on Instagram has copied your name, brand colors and business model, but you have no legal recourse to do anything about it. Then imagine the peace you could have knowing you have a legal team behind you to secure your trademarks and advocate on your behalf when necessary.
At Noir IP, we’ve helped hundreds of busy entrepreneurs across industries register and maintain federal trademark protection. If we're being honest, it's what we love most—helping you protect your most valuable assets and giving you exclusive rights to your brand while establishing your identity within the marketplace.
With our extensive knowledge, legal experience and the patience to navigate the trademark process we’re able to protect our clients throughout all dispute-related proceedings, including cancellations, cease and desist letters, oppositions, UDRP complaints, and enforcement litigation.
You've worked hard to build a dynamic business. Let's take the necessary steps to ensure you have complete ownership and the legal recourse to protect it from infringement.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
A trademark is any word, phrase, symbol, design, or combination of these things that identifies your goods or services. It’s how customers recognize you in the marketplace and distinguish you from your competitors.
Valuable trademarks require comprehensive legal protection. Secure ownership rights to your intellectual property as soon as possible. While you can apply for federal trademark protection at any time, it’s a lengthy process with no guarantees regardless of the amount of time or money you’ve spent building your brand. That’s why it’s best to start early.
You should start considering a trademark as soon as you start the process of choosing a business name, developing a logo and forming your business entity.
A trademark identifies the source of your goods and services and provides you with legal protection from the theft, counterfeiting and fraud of your innate genius.
Our trademark services include a comprehensive strategy session where we conduct an IP inventory & think through any legal gaps within the organization, an extensive national clearance search, drafting of your application in one USPTO trademark class, the gathering of relevant evidence and all USPTO filing fees.
It can take anywhere from 9 to 12 months, sometimes longer if issues arise. While it can be a lengthy process, you have a level of protection the moment you file your trademark application with the USPTO.

COPYRIGHTS
IT’S OFTENTIMES THEFT.
Your creativity is phenomenal, but is it protected? Businesses and individuals find it increasingly challenging to protect their creative works. As the laws governing this space continue to evolve content creators are oftentimes left to decipher their rights in a vacuum.
At Noir IP we help creators focus on their creativity while we focus on the legal parameters needed to safeguard the fruits of their minds. We regularly help clients register and protect their copyrights for all types of work before the U.S. Copyright Office.
Do not leave ownership of your original works to chance. Let us help you to prevent the unauthorized use by third parties of your intellectual property. From screenplays to photographs– copyright registration is the best way to ensure the protection of your creativity.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Copyright is a legal term describing ownership of control of the rights to the use and distribution of certain works of creative expression, including books, video, motion pictures, musical compositions and computer programs.
A copyright protects creative works such as books, music and/or art. While trademarks protect brand identity (i.e. names, logos, colors, and/or taglines).
