Profiles

Lawyer profiles are one of the most basic ways we get to know an attorney’s capabilities and areas of coverage. We’ll leave it to more prominent lawyer directories to supply you with the fine details, but this post category is a good chance to informally “meet” lawyers from all over the country.

How to Select a Trademark

The selection of a trademark is much more than a simple legal decision. In fact, this choice is founded more in the strategy of your business and where you hope to be within your industry in the future.

When choosing a mark, you should keep in mind the categories that your mark might fall into.  Trademark attorneys will help determine which category fits your mark.

Generic marks

Generic marks cannot be registered with the United States Patent and Trademark Office.  These marks are so common that use of the mark will not provide you or your company with any distinction within the market.  Examples of generic trademarks include automobile, computer, and telephone.

If you are looking for a patent or trademark lawyer in the United States, reach out to Lawrence E. Evans by contacting him online today.

If someone else was at fault – car accident lawyers in Jackson

You should not have to pay your own expenses if someone else was at fault
Under Mississippi comparative negligence law, you can file a personal injury lawsuit to collect to the degree that each person was responsible for your injuries.  In fact, the comparative fault rule provides that you even file a Jackson personal injury law suit to recover if you were almost completely responsible for the accident—even as much as 99 percent.

Retaining the assistance of a Jackson personal injury lawyer is critical to ensuring you obtain all compensation due to you from everyone responsible for an accidental injury.  You do not always need to go to court to collect—your attorney can advise you when you can gain the compensation you deserve through an insurance settlement or an out-of-court settlement.  And, when a jury trial is needed to ensure the best success for your case, your attorney can help you every step of the way.  Richard Schwartz and David Gaylon are two injury attorneys that know exactly how to do this.
