Syed Law was founded by Ahad Syed, a trademark registration attorney. Most trademark registration attorneys are not transparent about pricing. On the other hand, trademark filing companies over-promise and under-deliver, causing their customers additional out-of-pocket fees. Neither is ideal for trademark applicants.
If you fail to file your renewal, it will be cancelled. After you file your first renewal, you will need to file a second renewal between the 9th and 10th registration anniversary. Once that is complete, you will only need to renew once a decade (between the 19th and 20th anniversary, between the 29th and 30th anniversary). ...
Generic names like “The Donut Shop” or descriptive names like “The Auto Store” are not registrable. The general rule is that trademark registration protection is given to creative, unique, and interesting names that do not directly describe the product’s quality, function, or purpose.
The “TM” means it is a “common law trademark, ” which arises out of any use, but it gives you little real value.
As a practical matter, it is better to file as a business because you save money because you will not need to transfer the trademark. It is also better from a privacy standpoint; if you file personally, your personal information, particularly your address will be made public.
There is no guarantee an attorney at a trademark fi ling company will actually review your entire application.
It has been nothing but a positive experience working with Ms. Syed. She has shown 100% dedication and true compassion as she guided and coached me through the legal process of my case. Ms. Syed is always readily available via phone or email with any questions or concerns I have, even on the weekends. I would highly recommend Ms.
Linda comes across as low key but she's actually very strategic. I can't speak of her tactics as they were ingenious and very frustrating for the opposition but she had them on their heels the entire time. So thankful I found her. She's head and shoulders above the rest. Well worth the cost.
Linda is very professional and sincere and truly cares about her clients. She was very thorough and explained the process as we went along. She fights for her clients and always kept me informed on what was happening with my case.
I gave her ten grand ,for her to tell me to take my kids and leave the country, but I could not take them from their father..
My working relationship began with Linda in 2011 when I hired her to help me navigate divorce and child custody matters. Since 2011 my ex-spouse has repeatedly brought me back to court. I could not imagine navigating these matters with anyone but Linda Sayed. Ms. Sayed has a profound knowledge and understanding of family law.
Linda is everything you would expect when hiring an expert and more. Her dedication to family law and expertise in military divorces put my mind at ease from the beginning.
If you want a lawyer that is responsive, gives great advice, very knowledgeable of family law, willing to fight for you/your children, cares about her clients, a stickler for details, is an extremely talented litigator, very professional, and an excellent communicator, Linda Sayed, her associate Jamie Ghetty, and paralegal Angie Groesbeck are incredible! By being 'very' diligent in following there advice, I achieved a graduated 50-50 custody agreement in a very contested child custody case with my 3 minor children all under age 7.
