Our Mission
Why Choose Us
At our firm, we represent businesses of all sizes—from large corporations to small businesses, sole proprietors, individuals, and artists—helping them achieve their intellectual property goals. As a virtual firm, we offer the convenience of remote meetings, but if you prefer an in-person consultation, we’re happy to meet at your place of business in the Greater Houston area.
We bring together the expertise of traditional law firm experience and the efficiency of a high-volume trademark service company to offer you personalized and professional services—combining the best of both worlds.
What Sets Us A part
Our practice is focused exclusively on trademarks, copyrights, trade secrets, and select business transactions. We are committed to delivering the highest quality work to help protect your intellectual property.
Easy to Reach
When you contact us, you’ll connect with a real person, and you’ll have direct access to your attorney. We strive to respond to emails within two business days and answer or return phone calls within 24 hours. You’ll never need to go through a customer service line to reach us.
Transparent Flat Fees
We work on a flat-fee basis for all our trademark and copyright prosecution services. You’ll get a clear breakdown of what’s included in your package with no hidden fees. We won’t charge you for quick questions, brief phone calls, or updates from the USPTO. Our goal is to ensure your trademark application is filed correctly and cost-effectively.
Cost-Effective Filing
Many firms won’t take the extra time to offer you the lower government fee option, but we strive to file your application as a TEAS Plus application whenever possible, saving you money.
For Our Legal Colleagues
We also serve as outside counsel or a trusted resource for other lawyers and law firms whose practices do not include intellectual property. On referral, we can represent your clients before the USPTO and TTAB, allowing you to maintain your client relationships for all other matters.
