Felicia Altman
Attorney Led Cost Effective Trademark and Copyright Services
I started Make Your Trademark to assist individuals and small businesses to have access to brand protection and a trademark lawyer at an affordable price.
Prior to beginning Make Your Trademark I worked for a small Seattle law firm preparing and filing trademark and copyright applications as well as a sole proprietor assisting individuals and small businesses navigate trademark and copyright processes.
I am also COO of a the largest Electronic Voting Company in the United States, Democracy Live. As COO I not only run the business and operations but also am introduced to a variety of unique intellectual property issues.
I am member of the California, New York, New Jersey and Washington state Bars.

- Q. can i use a name for a that somebody has already trademarked but im selling beauty products and they are selling drinks?
- A: Generally, if the trademark is in a different class of goods and services then a registered mark and there would be no likelihood of confusion by consumers a mark can be registered. It is best to consult a trademark specialist to conduct a search and review the already registered mark compared to the mark you are wishing to register.
- Q. How can I claim the right to use a similar band name that was previously trademarked?
- A: In order to claim rights to a prior trademark you must file a trademark application with the USPTO. If the mark is abandoned and it cannot be renewed or revived then you can file a trademark application for the same or similar mark in the same class of services. I recommend using a Trademark Attorney to review the prior mark and conduct a quick search if the mark is still available through the USPTO.
- Q. I have a Book trademarked in Australia, does it also work worldwide and in the USA or do I have to have a US trademark?
- A: In order to have protection in the US a Trademark must be filed in the United States with the USPTO. An Australia trademark does not protect you worldwide or outside the registered country.
