LL&A works closely with clients as they select and adopt new trademarks and service marks, and guides them through securing protection at the state, federal, and international level, including asserting and defending cancellation proceedings and oppositions to registration. We assist in developing a business-specific program for protection and enforcement that is practical and grounded in the environment in which the marks are used. When it is time to select a mark or invest further in its development, we advise on selection and clearance of marks. Where questions arise about domain name use, we counsel them on defending or protecting their rights. Where appropriate, we call upon the assistance of our global network of foreign attorneys.

LL&A advises clients on copyright protection and assist them in registering their rights in the Copyright Office. Where agreements are appropriate to secure rights or confirm ownership, we have the experience to negotiate clear and focused agreements that not only benefit our clients, but take into account the rights of others.
