Trademark Clearance—The First Step to a Secure Brand Identity
The idea for your new corporate logo is decidedly brilliant. So you pursue the next step and hire an artist, who for a hefty price will immortalize your firm forever. Right? Wrong! Everyday, many companies just like yours make the mistake of committing large amounts of time and money to a trademark only to find out that another firm across the country is using the exact same image to brand their company name. How can you be sure this doesn’t happen to you? Make sure you get trademark clearance from Kessler International. We specialize in the areas of trademark search and trademark investigation.
What if you don’t? What if you go ahead with the trademark generation without a trademark search or intellectual property investigation, and later find it to be identical to an already existing trademark? The ramifications could be devastating, and may undermine your firm’s financial stability. Not only would you waste large amounts of capital unnecessarily. You’d also be legally liable to pay damages to the original trademark owner, leading to financial losses that could devastate your firm’s capital structure.
A simple phone call to Kessler International and a meeting with a member of our expert trademark investigation research team in our Trademark Acquisition Division will lay the foundation for a complete international market survey of your proposed logo or trademark. We’ll let you know if your trademark is in use, and give you the name and contact information of the trademark owner. We’ve found that just because a trademark is owned doesn’t necessarily mean it’s being used. We’ll help you ascertain the usage or non-usage, and act as a liaison in if you decide to purchase an existing trademark.

1. Our client, the holder of a patent for a well-known and successful product was suing another organization for patent infringement. The defendant claimed to have created a similar version of the product prior to our client filing for patent rights and claimed it was unique to their organization. The team at Kessler International was called in to investigate the defendant’s use of the patent. Our researchers and investigators carefully reviewed the material and noticed several inconsistencies in regards to the products creation date. They also interviewed key witnesses whose testimony verified the information found. The court granted an injunction and later ruled in favor of our client.
2. Our client, an engineer had formed his own consulting company and had entered into an agreement with a European company to provide them with ideas for creating advanced filtration mechanisms. The client provided the company with several ideas but received no monetary reimbursement for them, even though a payment schedule was outlined in their written agreement. The team at Kessler International was called in to verify that the European company did not infringe on our clients patent rights. Our researchers and investigators found sustaining a patent infringement claim would be too difficult, so they looked to other enforcement strategies. Our experts found that the European company failed to secure ownership of the software written by our client and exposed documented trade secrets in their products instruction manual. The client sued for copyright and trade secret infringement.
