Every application for a trademark has to have an owner. You probably knew that. Pretty basic information. And usually it's pretty straightforward. In most instances, your client/the Applicant is an individual, a limited liability company, or a corporation. It's all smooth sailing until there are ownership changes, mistakes in the ownership information as entered (perhaps by a pro se applicant or a previous attorney), or when it's time to renew the mark.
Trademark ownership issues can come up at any time during the process - from filing an application, to renewing a registration. We will cover the most common challenges regarding ownership, and the different ways to update ownership when it changes. We'll make sure you know exactly how to handle various scenarios so you don't make a costly error.

Erik is all about energy, when he’s representing clients; speaking at a conference; teaching trademarks at Georgetown University; or leading the trademark clinic at Howard University, where for four years he guided students working with pro bono clients. Through it all, Erik draws on his superpower – the ability to distill complex legal principles and procedures into digestible, understandable, and actionable concepts. Erik’s talent for clarity allows him to not only paint a clear picture of the why, but also the what’s next as he explains options and possible paths forward for clients as they build and grow successful brands.
After cutting his teeth as a trademark examiner for the USPTO, Erik has, in the years since, grown his trademark law practice with the enduring ideals of customer service and affordability. Today, with more than 4,000 client trademark registrations to his name, as a published author, creator of an app for trademark practitioners, and host of the “Tricks of the Trade(mark)” podcast, you won’t find anyone else who will care brands and trademarks as passionately as he does.
Erik lives in Falls Church, Virginia, where he also provides pro bono work for veteran-owned businesses.
