Carmody MacDonald P.C.
St. Louis-based intellectual property attorney serving clients nationwide. I help clients protect and grow their brands, identify and enforce their intellectual property rights, and develop their trademark portfolios. My clients range from entrepreneurs and startups to large corporations, and everything in between.
A company’s trademarks and copyrights are often among its most valuable assets. Given the business and competitive importance of intellectual property, effective portfolio development and management are critical to maximizing and protecting the value of a company's brands. I provide counsel on a wide variety of issues related to intellectual property, technology, and privacy law, offering practical business services including:
- Trademark selection, clearance, and prosecution
- Policing and responding to intellectual property infringement
- Intellectual property licensing and royalty agreements
- Trademark settlement, consent-to-use, and coexistence agreements
- Social media advertising, marketing, and corporate best practices
- Co-branding, cross-promotions, and strategic partnerships
- Digital Millennium Copyright Act and online marketplace takedowns
- Trade secret and confidential information transactions and enforcement
- Intellectual property audits and due diligence in connection with mergers, acquisitions, and collateralization
- Third-party commercial agreements, such as privacy policies and terms of use
- Data privacy policies, risk management, and compliance strategies

- Q. trademark cancellation
- A: I am a trademark attorney and would be happy to set up an initial consultation to discuss your case. You can email me at jml@carmodymacdonald.com.
- Q. Hi there , Basically we have a deficiency letter in need of a response it was incomplete plus to file amendment.
- A: It sounds like you have a 1(b) application (filed on an intent-to-use basis). When an application is refused, an applicant can typically do one or both of two things: (1) file an amendment changing the application to meet the examiner's objections; and/or (2) file a formal response, setting forth a legal rebuttal to the examiner's objections.
I highly recommend consulting a trademark attorney to go over the facts of your specific case. You can work with a trademark attorney licensed in any state, not just the state where you are located. I'm happy to discuss this matter further if you'd like to reach out.
- Q. Which trademark class do I need?
- A: Arguably, the most crucial pieces of any trademark application are the selection of the appropriate filing classes and the proper description of goods and/or services within those classes. They are also commonly the subject of refusals by the USPTO. I highly recommend consulting a trademark attorney to go over the facts of your specific case. You can work with a trademark attorney licensed in any state, not just the state where you are located.
