The Onyx Law Firm

Brand Enforcement

Counterfeiting and infringement is a global problem that introduces unsafe and ineffective products into the marketplace while costing governments and businesses lost tax revenues, income, and jobs. Counterfeiters and infringers are also a major problem for our clients, resulting in lost sales, markets flooded with poor quality imitations, health and safety risks to consumers who purchase counterfeits, and tarnishment of the brand. We employ innovative strategies to counteract counterfeiting, piracy, and infringement across borders and platforms.

Outsourced General Counsel

One important decision in the lifecycle of a growing company is when to hire its first in-house counsel.  Frequently, this issue arises at a time in the evolution of an organization before there is a need for a full-time employee in this role or room in the corporate budget for a highly compensated general counsel.  The outsourced general counsel position can take a variety of forms, but, at its core, it is a role within the legal function of a company where a dedicated external attorney resource handles and manages the routine legal needs of a business on a part-time basis.  

Trademark Registration, Prosecution, Litigation & Enforcement

It isn't enough to just register your trademark.  It is important to ensure that the underlying trademark registration strategy is sound.  With global reach and local expertise, we can help ensure that your business avoid mistakes that can put your brand at risk.  We view filing and registration of trademark applications as the start of a brand protection strategy.  Each situation and solution is unique.  Whether you need advice targeted to a specific project, or ongoing support in managing your global trademark portfolio, we flexibly work to meet your requirements.  

Trademark Office Actions

It is normal for trademark applications to hit obstacles. Around 90 days after you present a trademark application, a lawyer at the USPTO will survey it. On the off chance that the lawyer recognizes any issues, you’ll get a letter known as an “Office Action.”  We can work with you to respond to these Trademark Office Actions.  After you receive an Office Action, you have a time period to submit a response.  Once you reach out to us, we will get all the required information, and our Firm will respond to your Trademark Office Action.

Contract Negotiation & Drafting

Drafting a contract can be tedious and it undoubtedly requires skills and dedication. For a legally binding and enforceable agreement, it’s wise to consult a well-reputed, qualified, and experienced contract lawyer to keep misinterpretations, errors, and confusion at bay.  As an experienced firm, Onyx Law will guide you through the whole contract drafting process, leaving no room for mistakes that can cost you dearly in the future. Should a legal dispute arise, a contract attorney is the ideal professional to represent you in court.
