Trademark Cancellations: ADLER & ASSOCIATES handles trademark cancellations. ADLER & ASSOCIATES is experienced with trademark cancellation proceedings before the Trademark Trial and Appeal Board (TTAB) at the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO). ADLER & ASSOCIATES can represent you as the owner of a trademark registration that is being challenged in a trademark cancellation proceeding. ADLER & ASSOCIATES can also represent you if you wish to file a trademark cancellation proceeding to cancel a competitor's trademark registration. A trademark cancellation proceeding is similar to a lawsuit in that both allow for taking of discovery, but they are dissimilar in that you cannot obtain money damages in a trademark cancellation proceeding. The only thing the TTAB can do in a trademark cancellation proceeding is cancel a federal trademark registration.

Trademark Licensing: ADLER & ASSOCIATES handles trademark licensing. ADLER & ASSOCIATES is experienced with trademark licensing. Trademark licensing is done through a trademark license agreement, pursuant to where the trademark owner (or "Licensor") grants license rights under common law or registered trademark rights to a licensed third party (or "Licensee"). The grant clause of a trademark license agreement typically grants the Licensee permission to use the trademark in connection with the marketing, advertising, distribution, and sale of the Licensee's goods and/or services. The Licensee typically compensates the Licensor for the right to use the trademark in some form, such as payment of a lump sum payment amount or on-going royalties paid at agreed periodic intervals, such as monthly or quarterly. The license agreement will state whether the license is exclusive or non-exclusive, and specify its duration and grounds for termination.
