Overcoming a 2(d) Refusal to Register a Trademark

If you already attempted to register a trademark or service mark on your own, and you received a 2(d) refusal from the USPTO examining attorney, we may be able to help!

A 2(d) refusal is normally issued to a trademark registration applicant when the examining attorney determines that there is a likelihood of confusion between the applied for mark (your mark) and a pre-existing trademark that is already registered with the United States Patent and Trademark Office. However, a 2(d) refusal is not necessarily the end of the road for your trademark application. Call us today and let’s discuss the merits of your application. We can help you determine if there are any counter-arguments that can be made on your behalf to persuade the examining attorney to allow your trademar or service mark to be registered with the USPTO.
