Based in Austin, we offer IP services nationwide. Some services are available at fixed, flat fees. Learn more below or contact Deitchle + Simone to talk about how we can help you maximize and protect your trademarks, copyrights, and trade secret assets.
Besides their trade secrets, a business’s most valuable IP rights are typically trademarks, because that’s what consumers and competitors see. When consumers recognize your brand name, slogan, or logo as a mark of quality, they’re more likely to become repeat customers and recommend your business to others.
Having personally filed hundreds of USPTO-approved trademark applications, we are particularly well-positioned to help clients identify, develop, and protect trademark rights that can make or break their business. We know how the USPTO works, how to secure registrations, and how to keep them. We especially enjoy helping clients select potential trademarks for their goods/services, always with an eye on USPTO registrability.
We also represent clients in Opposition and Ex Parte Appeals before the Trademark Trial and Appeal Board.
