Andrew P. Lahser, Trademark Attorney

I am a trademark attorney near Phoenix, AZ dedicated to helping small business with patents, trademarks and software law. I do this by using innovative attorney fees and billing.

I am licensed to practice in Phoenix, Arizona and before the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office. I am admitted to the Arizona Supreme Court and US District Court near Phoenix, Arizona.

I help clients with trademark searching, clearance opinions, trademark registration, TTAB proceedings and appeals, domain names and UDRP proceedings.

When you are ready, you can say "hello" or ask me simple legal questions online.

Finally, you might read my blog, which includes some of the trademark law articles below.

Can I add the ™ Symbol to my website ?

Definitely Maybe. Trademarks do not protect websites directly. Trademarks protect consumers.

Can a trademark be declined if it disparages beliefs?

Yes, trademarks can be refused for suggesting false connections or disparaging others.

How do I respond to a ‘likelihood of confusion’ with a registered trademark I already own?

You can claim ownership of a prior registration by amending your trademark application. This may overcome the Examiner’s refusal.
