Seattle Trademark Attorney
Trademark problems are business problems: brand confusion, customer misdirection, marketplace takedowns, and disputes that can derail marketing and growth. We help clients protect and defend trademarks, including clearance and risk assessment, enforcement against confusingly similar use, and defense when your brand is accused of infringement.
Many trademark disputes turn on practical facts—how the marks are used in the real world, the goods and channels involved, consumer perception, and the strength of the brand. We help clients choose strategies that fit the objective: registration, coexistence, rebranding, negotiated boundaries, or litigation when needed.
Use the chatbot to understand trademark rights, infringement risk, and practical options
If you’re still evaluating next steps, try our custom (experimental) RAG chatbot for general educational information about trademark issues—such as likelihood-of-confusion factors, common-law rights versus federal registration, and how enforcement tools (letters, TTAB actions, and platform complaints) fit into overall strategy. The chatbot provides general information only and does not offer case-specific legal advice. When you are ready to discuss your brand and goals, you can schedule a meeting with Mitchell.
