Our Success Cases

Client A filed a trademark application with the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) for its newly launched smart home device. However, the USPTO issued an Office Action refusing the application based on a likelihood of confusion with an already registered trademark, Trademark B, citing Section 2(d) of the U.S. Trademark Act.

The primary challenge in this case was the shared element between Client A’s trademark and Trademark B, both operating in the household appliances sector. The USPTO raised concerns that the overlapping elements could confuse consumers, making it crucial to demonstrate that Client A’s trademark was distinct enough to avoid confusion.

A client filed a trademark application for a cutting-edge product in the U.S. market. However, the USPTO issued a Section 2(d) Office Action, citing a potential likelihood of confusion with a similar pre-existing trademark. The primary challenge involved overlapping elements between the marks, both targeting related industries, which necessitated demonstrating the client's trademark's unique distinctiveness to overcome the refusal.

An international brand sought to enter the U.S. market with its innovative product and applied for trademark registration. During the review process, the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) requested a translation of a non-English word in the trademark, suggesting it corresponded directly to a specific animal name. This requirement posed a potential threat to the brand’s positioning and uniqueness, necessitating a strategic response to preserve the trademark's integrity and market value.
