Trademark Services

One of the most valuable assets of a business or a product is the name and goodwill associated with it.

Business houses and people today are more aware of the importance of a registered trademark and therefore, are readily investing in marks that may have millions of dollars’ worth of goodwill. However, applying for a trademark does not guarantee that the mark will be registered. This may be due to many reasons such as adoption of a trademark confusingly similar to a trademark currently in use by other.

Client’s Speak

“I have worked professionally with Epiphany since late 2009! From my experience of working with Epiphany when I was in Nokia, when I moved to a startup, we decided to continue working with them. In the many years I have worked with them, they have stood out in professionalism and the effort they put resulting in extremely well drafted patent filings. As good as they are, they are equally nice to work with – and we have sometimes worked under ridiculous deadlines and they have always saved the day for us. Right now, amidst juggling many things in a startup, one thing I do not worry about is IP – because I know Epiphany takes care of everything for us through the lifecycle of any patent filing.”
