Our Dave Ratner has once again been named a Top Lawyer by 5280 Magazine! He is being recognized for his work in Entertainment & Sports as well as in Intellectual Property: Trademarks. Dave has made 5280's list every year since they started this honor in 2015! Please join us in congratulating Dave.
A trademark can be applied for as “in use” or “intent to use”. The “intent to use” application allows us to reserve a trademark that we are planning to use in the future. So even if you're not using your trademark yet, you can still start the process to protect it!

Our client Swallow Hill Music (where Dave serves on the Board) has been a staple of concerts, music classes, and community outreach to the Denver metro area since 1979. As Denver's premier listening room, they host local, national, and international acts from a variety of acoustic, indie, and roots-oriented genres. For tickets to their upcoming concerts, head here.
Let's talk trademarks.
A trademark application requires proof of use, showing that we are actually using the trademark in business. We call this proof of use a “specimen”. The specimen can be a tricky part of the application and we see bad specimens trip up applications all the time. So it's really important to get that part right!
