I will deal with trademark office action refusals


About this gig
If you got an Office Action relating to substantive refusals and/or procedural issues. I will respond to the OA and resolve these issues. I was previously a trademark examining attorney and supervisory attorney at the USPTO for over 12 years so I know how to resolve these issues and understand what arguments will work. There is no guarantee that substantive refusals will be withdrawn but I will give you the best chance to persuade the examiner to withdraw the refusal.
Procedural issues such as disclaimers, identification, and entity type can usually can be resolved. The USPTO has a 3000 page book of rules [the TMEP] and I have read every page a number of times.
Substantive refusals may be overcomed depending on the nature of the refusal. An effective response requires knowing the relevant laws and cases, crafting an argument, attaching evidence, and possibly amending the application to change the analysis.
You can try to do it yourself but an experienced trademark attorney will do a much better job and increase your chances of resolving the requirements and overcoming the refusal.
