IP Works now offers Trademark monitoring, policing and enforcement. You can choose from 3 different subscription tiers to find the one that best matches your needs. Or, you can order a one-time policing search and analysis.
Whichever level you choose, you will get: 1) Our thoughtful and thorough analysis of the items located and how they relate to you, and 2) Our recommended action, including the recommended tone of the first contact with the trademark user.
- We know that even the best searching is worthless without the analysis and recommendations of someone who knows and cares about your business. That’s why each month, if any items of note are located, we will make a balanced recommendation to you based on your business and your goals with respect to your trademark.
All subscriptions start with a strategy session with you to discuss your goals and develop a Cease & Desist strategy that works for you. Tree and Shrub Subscriptions come with three custom Cease & Desist letters (first Notice Letter, second Cease & Desist letter, final Cease & Desist letter). Tree Subscription comes with a custom Complaint for Trademark Infringement and a custom Notice of Opposition ready to file so we can take enforcement action immediately if needed, with no delay or added cost.
Tree Subscription : One-time onboarding fee of $4,500, then $500/month per trademark
