Written opinion — certification mark registrability + trademark conflict analysis

Anna Claxton

"I engaged Anna for a trademark registrability and conflict opinion on a credential system and a product name, against an incumbent with three live registrations. She was the only one of nine bidders who engaged the actual legal question instead of restating the standard factors. During vetting she raised an angle, was challenged on it, conceded, and told me the correction cut against my position. That is the person you want writing an opinion. The opinion itself pulled the prosecution histories from the USPTO, ran a knock-out search, and gave me a clear answer on each of the five questions, including one I had framed wrong. The recommendation reversed the order of my own plan and was right to. She marked every assumption, listed what she had not verified, and drew a hard line at the edge of her admission, routing the California questions to California counsel instead of guessing. When I sent follow-up questions she corrected an imprecision in her own text before answering them. If your question is about whether something can be registered and what to do first, this is who to hire."

Trademark Application Evaluation

Ross Brandborg

"Excellent. He provided a lot of value and expertise up front, building trust — doing an initial sweep that steered me away from several unlikely options before I ever paid for a full search. I'm sure in many cases that preempts lost money chasing down additional name options that would've turned out to be conflicted anyway. Highly recommend."
