Clearance & Portfolio Management Make Your Mark
Successful brand management begins well before adopting a mark and continues long after to protect it against brand encroachment. At Kilpatrick, we devote a significant portion of our trademark practice to help clients evaluate the availability of particular marks for domestic and international adoption and registration, including large-scale trademark clearance projects and filing programs. Our attorneys manage thousands of complex global trademark portfolios for some of the most recognizable global brands, while crafting tailor-made protection strategies best suited to our clients’ needs across a wide variety of industries.

Our global network of trusted firms and local associates gives us immediate access to international attorneys with the right experience, in the required jurisdictions, and in line with our clients’ specific needs. To further strengthen our clients’ rights overseas, our attorneys leverage their extensive experience with international trademark treaties and registration strategies to manage more than 12,000 pending and registered active IRs; as an early advocate for the IR system, we can provide efficient and cost-effective trademark registration across a large number of international jurisdictions.
