About the Owner

In 2023, Alec Allen Ross founded a company. Before becoming an attorney, Mr. Ross served as a Peace Corps volunteer in Mali, West Africa. There, he taught English at the University of Bamako, interacting with and instructing students of diverse cultural and linguistic backgrounds.

Mr. Ross's appreciation for diversity and talent navigating complex circumstances made him an accomplished attorney. He rapidly rose to the top of the trademark filing industry, handling thousands of applications and working with national and international clients in various sectors. He was among the top ten U.S. attorneys with the most trademark applications in 2021.

Before founding this company, Mr. Ross was the managing counsel for trademark services at LegalZoom, an online provider of business formation services. During that time, he worked with tens of thousands of clients. He supervised a team of ten trademark attorneys, acquiring the necessary experience and clientele to launch his business following his mission.

The Company's Objective

Mr. Ross envisioned accessible and affordable trademark protection for all businesses and individuals requiring intellectual property security services. With this vision, he created a mission for The Trademark Place with simple goals:

• To provide innovative solutions and expert legal guidance
• To help clients safeguard their intellectual property without paying excessive fees
• To remove barriers separating businesses and individuals from trademark registration and enforcement.

In today's competitive market, Mr. Ross is adamant that every individual and business should be able to safeguard their brand identity from infringement.

Offerings They Make

They assist clients worldwide in acquiring and establishing their identities. Before applying for or registering a trademark, one must confirm that it has yet to be used. The attorneys conduct clearance searches on behalf of their clients, determining whether the invention trespasses on the rights of a prior user and whether it is eligible for registration with the United States Patent and Trademark Office.

Other critical services they provide include the following:

• Trademark application filing. They will prepare and file trademark applications with the USPTO.
• Trademark registration. Clients can access single or double trademark registration packages for a flat rate.
• Statement of Use. They will monitor your application, assessing when to file a Statement of Use to show your trademark in active use for commerce.
• Trademark monitoring and renewals. Services include renewals to ensure it remains active and consistent monitoring to assess the mark's strength and security.
• Trademark portfolio management. Clients with more than one trademark can access comprehensive trademark services, including filing preparation, deadline management, and trademark education.

This is a partial inventory of The Trademark Place's services. Benefits include office action responses, intellectual property protection, and trademark enforcement, in addition to assisting clients in obtaining and monitoring their brand marks.

Regulatory Response

Mr. Ross's team can assist if the USPTO issues an Office Action outlining issues with a client's trademark application. They begin by reviewing the problems and discussing possible solutions. Then, they will compose a response on behalf of the client that addresses each issue in detail.

Trademark Expungement

Registration is not the conclusion of the trademark procedure. To protect their registrations and prevent property infringement, businesses require constant monitoring.

The company's experienced trademark attorneys have a proven track record of assisting clients in expunging trademark infringers. Their services include the intricate procedure of filing expungement against third parties who attempt to use their intellectual property without authorization.

Compliance Enforcement

Expunction is a component of a comprehensive enforcement service. They compose cease and desist letters to demand that infringing parties stop their actions, thereby protecting the brand and trademark.

The Significance of The Trademark Place

The registration of trademarks is essential for establishing a sustainable brand identity. Mr. Ross founded this company intending to make the legal process of trademarking business names, product names, logos, and labels more than just accessible. He desires to inform brand owners, individuals, and corporations, about the value of their intellectual property and how to safeguard it.

No trademark owner is immune to infringement, and all too often, trademark owners do not know how to address it head-on before someone damages the business's reputation. However, a business's most valuable asset is its reputation, which indicates its honesty and reliability to consumers. The attorneys at The Trademark Place recognize the value of their client's trademark efforts and seek to assist them in protecting it through vigilant monitoring and enforcement.
