Your brand is everything.

When someone challenges your brand, they’re challenging your entire business. Sometimes, this challenge is an attack on the validity of your trademark.

That happens via an opposition or cancellation proceeding at the Trademark Trial and Appeal Board (TTAB).

This isn't our first rodeo.

TTAB proceedings are not the same as any litigation. The rules are different.

Stake has worked in all aspects of TTAB oppositions and cancellations. That includes the rare experience of arguing in person before the TTAB.

We know how to navigate TTAB proceedings.

Josh is good. Real good. He's as smart and hard working as they come, and his love for his job shines through with the HOURS of research and follow up he does. His engineering background makes him extra effective at his work and quick to understand difficult constructs. Great customer service, quick responses, and dedication to his work are greatly appreciated. I highly recommend.

I highly recommend working with the Mertzlufft Law firm for all of your patent needs, especially if you are new to the the patent process and need a lot of "hand hold" like we did. Josh took his time explaining the entire process to us and how our business we would benefit from the protection that a patent offers. We couldn't be happier with the way that Josh handled all the heavy lifting and insured that we were happy with the results.

Stake law is the place to go for anything related to patents. They are reliable, timely, fairly priced, and have excellent quality and customer service.

After much frustration in trying to find a patent attorney that I felt would look out after me, and my idea for a patent, I had just about given up. I looked into doing the process myself, but quickly got lost and overwhelmed in the world of patents. Realizing I could not do it myself, I narrowed it down to a couple of patent attorneys and prayed a lot about the direction to go. The answer I felt I received was Stake, and the first meeting with Joshua Mertzlufft was a confirmation of that answer. Josh is very good at what he does, patient in explaining the process, very detailed orientated, insightful, and humble. The process became fun and exciting instead of frustrating. I now have my first patent and another one pending. Thank you so very much Joshua!!

Josh is NOT your typical patent attorney that just goes through the motions to file some paperwork only to then charge you a big $$$ amount. He genuinely cares about your vision, goals, business plan, etc... He prides himself on putting together a complete game plan to achieve your goals. I've been an entrepreneur for over 15 years and I know how important it is to build a strong team of professionals around you. You're going to want Josh "the owner of [Mertzlufft] Law" on your team. In the crazy world of patents and patent law you need the best. I promise you Josh is the BEST out there.

I found working with Josh, as a new business owner very informative and helpful. Josh was easy to work with and understand legal verbiage. I absolutely will work with him again. Thank You Josh and STAKE

Honest, quick, knowledgeable, and reliable!
