Why the  Duncan law firm

A properly protected intellectual property can create opportunity, build credibility, increase business value, and establish a foundation for long-term wealth creation.

Our approach combines legal experience with practical business strategy, helping clients not only secure trademarks but understand how those trademarks fit into their broader business goals.

We don’t simply file applications. We help clients build, protect, and leverage ownership.

USPTO OFFICE ACTIONS

Received a Letter from the USPTO?

An Office Action does not mean your application has been denied. It means the examining attorney has identified issues that require a response. A properly crafted reply can often mean the difference between approval and abandonment.

  • Likelihood of confusion refusals
  • Descriptiveness refusals
  • Specimen refusals
  • Identification of goods and services issues
  • Disclaimer requirements
  • Application amendments and corrections

USPTO Office Actions have strict response windows. Missing them can result in the Loss of your Trademark.
