Trademark "Use"

We are experienced in conducting investigations to determine if a trademark is currently in “use” or abandoned.  As IP investigators, we understand the importance of this type of investigation and know the right questions to ask.  Momentum has developed a proprietary method in seeking this information whereby the trademark owner is completely unaware they are being investigated.

The Momentum staff is comprised of former U.S. trademark prosecution paralegals who understand the doctrine regarding “first use” dates.  We are experts in navigating through USPTO or foreign trademark records to gather clues and create a plausible pretext prior to initiating contact with the trademark owner.

Our clients generally rely on us for these types of investigations pertaining to goods and services that are marketed on/at:

• Printed material
• Websites
• Online retail platforms
• Tradeshows
• Packaging

If you require assistance in reviewing a trademark search report and identifying problematic marks for further investigation of “use”, our investigative staff are prepared to help.

Momentum has a long standing relationship with a well-known trusted vendor who provides clearance and protection solutions namely a discounted comprehensive search report.  We are happy to extend and share this discount with the client.
