• Patent Infringement

  • Have you been contacted by an individual or business claiming you or your business is infringing a patent? Before you respond, contact CTLG to determine all of the options available to you.

• Post-Grant Proceedings

  • CTLG offers a variety of post-grant proceeding services to help clients protect their patents and defend against challenges to their intellectual property rights. Our experienced attorneys have a deep understanding of post-grant proceedings, including inter partes reviews (IPRs), covered business method (CBM) reviews, and post-grant reviews (PGRs). We work closely with clients to develop effective legal strategies for challenging or defending against challenges to patent validity, including conducting prior art searches, drafting petitions, and appearing before the Patent Trial and Appeal Board (PTAB).

• Trademark Opposition

  • Trademark oppositions are contested proceedings held within the Trademark Office. Trademark oppositions are submitted after the Trademark Office has preliminary approved your trademark application. Generally, trademark oppositions are filed by business or individuals that believe your Trademark will affect the trademark owned by the business or individual in a negative way.
  • If you have been contacted about a trademark opposition against your trademark application contact CTLG to evaluate the trademark opposition and discuss the options available to address the trademark opposition. Many times, there are cost effective, fast, and easy ways to address the trademark opposition without having to go through the entire trademark opposition or give up your trademark application. Let CTLG represent you for the trademark opposition.

• Trademark Cancellations

  • Trademark cancellations are contested proceedings held within the Trademark Office. Trademark cancellations are submitted by a third party that believes your trademark is no longer being used or you are not entitled to the Trademark for various legal reasonings. Trademark cancellations are filed after a Trademark has been registered by the U.S. Trademark Office.
  • If you have been contacted about a trademark cancellation against your trademark registration contact CTLG to evaluate the trademark cancellation and discuss the options available to address the trademark cancellation. Trademark cancellations are a serious matter that may lead to the loss of your trademark. Contact CTLG and let us represent you during the Trademark Cancellation.

• Copyright Infringement

  • If you own a federally registered copyright and believe someone or a business is using your copyright without your permission, contact CTLG and let us identify the best way to address the infringement. Many times, a settlement can be reached without the need of going to federal court to enforce your copyright protection.
  • Have you been contacted by an author or company claiming that you are using a copyrighted work without their permission, contact CTLG and let us determine the options you may have to defend you or your company.
