Your brand is who you are, and Cairncross & Hempelmann knows the value of a good name. This CH& team advises clients at each stage of the branding process, from selection and registration to protection and monetization of these critical assets. Our clients are diverse in size and industry: a playwright, a mid-sized digital content provider, a high-end musical equipment manufacturer, one of the largest timber producers in the United States. We are similarly diverse in our experience. Our team has counseled clients with almost all categories of trademarks: single words, taglines, logos, even color schemes and cartoon characters. And, as part of our firm's intellectual property expertise, CH& also provides specialized services for other intellectual property assets, especially software, music and other digital content.
