About Trademarkology

THIS IS AN ADVERTISEMENT

Stites & Harbison is a large and very, very old Southeastern law firm. How old? It traces its roots to the 1832 establishment of a law firm by Judge Henry Pirtle and James Speed, who later served as Attorney General for Abraham Lincoln.

One or two important things have happened in this country since 1832. For instance, Stites & Harbison has become one of the top trademark firms in the country. Also, someone invented blogs. The goal of this blog, Trademarkology, is to help you select a brand name or logo by providing insight on how others have selected and protected their brands. We also hope to convince you of the power and value of obtaining federal trademark registration for all your brand names. We’d also like to make you chuckle a few times, because come on, this is trademark law. We’re sure ol’ Judge Piltle would be quite proud.

All pleasantries aside, we are lawyers and therefore cannot resist telling you about how smart we are and how much we’ve accomplished. So, here goes:

Alex is camera shy (see Ex. A at right). Or maybe she is in a time out. Hard to tell. Either way, you don’t see her face very often because she usually has her nose to the grindstone. She enjoys working hard to protect the interests of her clients as they select, adapt, acquire, register, license, and enforce their trademark rights.

When not otherwise engaged in the practice and study of trademark law, you can usually find Alex engaged in the practice and study of violin.
