Clear the way.

Good names are hard to find. Good ideas are worth protecting. And not every dispute is worth a fight.

Common questions

  • We’ve found the right name. Can we use it?

    That depends.

  • We paid for the logo. Do we own it?

    That depends.

  • We formed the LLC. Is the name protected?

    That depends.

  • We own the .com. Is the name ours?

    That depends.

These sound like settled questions, but it really does depend. Someone may already have earlier rights in the name. The designer may still own the logo. And neither forming an LLC nor registering a .com creates trademark rights.

Small oversights like these tend to surface at the worst time. Litigateways helps clients address these questions early while there is still time to change course.
