Every business has a brand. Trademarks, trade names, logos, slogans, designs, and symbols — they are the tools you use to set your company apart, distinguish your goods and services, and represent your company to the world. Trademarks stand out, and so should your lawyers.
O’Melveny’s team has the outstanding legal skill, passion, experience, and knowledge necessary to aid in selecting, clearing, and registering a new trademark, asserting or defending an established mark, or licensing a mark, whether on a local or global level, or something in between. O’Melveny approaches each project in the manner that has set us apart in the field for decades, representing some of the most well-known — and valuable — brands in the world.
