US Trademark Attorney or US Trademark Lawyer in Israel

A well-versed US Trademark lawyer in Israel can best assist you and handle your registration process in Israel, or verify that your trademark is, indeed, properly registered at the USPTO (United States Patent and Trademark Office).

• A trademark does not, necessarily, have to be used in the United States in order to register it in Israel.
• Proof of prior use can effectively overcome any objections raised, on any grounds. This would prove that the US trademark is distinctive.

Combined Trademark Registration

If you register a trademark with a combination of words and figures in Israel, its use will be confined and limited to the precise way that it was filed.

• Should you decide to use only the words or figures, separately from one another, as they appear in the logo, at any time, you would do well to register for yet another trademark that has only the word or words, or the figure that you want to use and protect individually.

Buyer beware. In this case, the buyer is YOU. Assume nothing, tread carefully and get a US trademark lawyer in Israel to protect your interests. David Page, licensed in the United States and Israel, with sterling credentials, is your man.

Bottom-line

1. You can take advantage of the largest market for trademarked products in the world, the United States, while doing so from Israel.
2. Filing in the United States can also work well for Israel, via the mechanism of the Madrid Protocol that can help globalize a US trademark.
