Overview
O’Hagan Meyer helps businesses acquire, protect, leverage, enforce, and defend trademark rights worldwide. Our team is particularly adept at resolving trademark issues that intersect with litigation, trade secrets, unfair competition, technology, licensing, and broader business considerations.
We guide clients ranging from startups and emerging companies to established national and international businesses through every stage of the trademark lifecycle—from clearance, selection, registration, and portfolio development to commercialization, enforcement, and dispute resolution. Our attorneys assist with U.S. and international trademark registration programs, helping businesses build and maintain brand protection strategies that support their growth objectives.
Drawing on substantial intellectual property litigation experience, our IP lawyers help businesses protect and maximize the value of trademarks and trade dress while also representing clients in infringement, licensing, and contract-related disputes. We provide advice grounded in our clients’ realities, with strategies tailored to their business objectives, risk tolerance, and long-term goals.
Our trademark and overall IP experience spans industries where brand protection and innovation are critical, including fashion and retail, sports, media and entertainment, NIL collectives, medical devices, computer hardware and software, consumer products, technology, and service businesses. We understand that trademark issues often overlap with licensing arrangements, advertising, emerging technologies, trade secrets, and broader commercial concerns, and we advise accordingly.
O’Hagan Meyer is especially skilled in resolving trademark matters when they evolve into conflict. We represent clients in federal and state courts and in alternative dispute resolution forums, as well as handle trademark oppositions, cancellations, and related proceedings before the Trademark Trial and Appeal Board (TTAB).
