Practice in Ontario, then San Diego
California-registered Trademark Attorney
Practiced in Ontario, Canada before founding a noted local firm in San Diego, CA — and ultimately, TrademarKraft.
Built around the hardest parts of trademark practice.
TrademarKraft was started with a focus on trademarks — and specifically the more complicated areas: oppositions, cancellations, and office action responses. This sophisticated approach is matched by a reasonable cost, so small companies can defend their rights using the same tools as larger companies.
Beyond filings, our TTAB attorney team can evaluate your chances, shape the record from the outset, and pursue or defend oppositions and cancellations in a focused, cost-effective way designed to protect your brand for the long term.
Trademark Oppositions
Defending applications under TTAB attack and prosecuting oppositions against confusingly similar filings.
Cancellation Proceedings
Both sides — defending registrations from petitions to cancel, and clearing blocking registrations from the register.
Office Action Responses
Substantive responses to USPTO refusals — likelihood of confusion, descriptiveness, specimen, and identification issues.
Strong brands, built one careful decision at a time.
Cost-Effective Fees
Transparent pricing that lets entrepreneurs and small businesses afford serious representation.
Timely Responses
TTAB and USPTO deadlines are non-negotiable. We treat every clock as if it's already running.
Innovative Solutions
Apparent trademark roadblocks usually have a path through them. We find it.
Available All Year
We make ourselves available to clients throughout the year — not just when action items strike.
