Chernoff Vilhauer recognizes that a client's trade or service mark -- its brand -- can be a vitally important asset.  

Chernoff Vilhauer annually files hundreds of trademark applications, both domestically and internationally, to enhance the protection of that asset. 

The firm has longstanding relationships with trademark law firms worldwide to expedite the filing and acquisition of foreign trademark registrations.  Its in-house and outsourced trademark search resources can identify and alert clients to potentially conflicting trademarks. 

Chernoff Vilhauer is highly experienced in enforcing and defending its clients' trademark rights in state and federal courts, and by initiating and defending trademark oppositions, cancellations, and concurrent use proceedings in the Patent and Trademark Office.
