TESTIMONIALS
Laurie has provided excellent and cost-effective service related to trademarks (searches, registration, guidance, etc.) for me at both the Oakland A’s and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Her work is always thorough, speedy and without error. I enjoy working with Laurie and recommend her services without reservation.
Trademarks The Spot has helped us file several trademarks. Their understanding of the process, counsel on the finer points of each submission, and practical, no-nonsense approach have helped us navigate through to securing each one. They are true professionals.
Laurie Marshall and Cate Larson are great! They are professional and courteous. They answer questions and are prompt. I highly recommend them!
Laurie Marshall and her staff are some of the best in the business. Laurie’s trademark searches are thorough, fast and she is fair. Beyond executing on the tm search Laurie finds way to solve issues that may come up with securing or your trademark or finding ways to get you the trademark you want either through a variation or with helping with name generation! She’s very easy to work with I work with her as well as recommend her to my clients and friends! You can’t go wrong with Laurie and her team:)
These folks are absolute pros. I’ve worked with them on 2 trademarks and they are experts and execute flawlessly. I continue to work with them and would give them my highest endorsement!
I love working with Laurie. We have three applications for a Dog Fashion spa in the works and the process has been seamless so far. I was hesitating about spending money on something I thought I could handle myself. Trust me, the time savings and peace of mind are priceless. More importantly, if there are inquiries I know Laurie will handle them without sweat.
Also, do not wait to apply for the trademark. If you don’t want to operate as a mom-and-pop shop, do it as early as possible before you invest any money in developing a web site, printing labels, etc. Laurie is very straightforward and will tell you right away if there is an issue with a trademark. You want a professional with years of experience to guide you through this. I have three master’s degrees and I chose to outsource this task to her company. I sleep at night and focus on growing my business while she is doing her job.
I’m an attorney and I refer my clients to Laurie Marshall for all trademark related issues. She has an in-depth understanding of trademark law, and she knows how the US trademark office works. I have used her for trademark applications for businesses owned by friends and family. Laurie and her staff are professional, efficient, knowledgeable, and a pleasure to work with. I highly recommend Laurie for all of your trademark legal work.
To say Laurie and her team were helpful would be a huge understatement. They walked me through the entire process with such care, and not just by providing the facts that were required, but also with their expert opinions to help guide me. They set reasonable expectations, followed up, and made me feel like I had a partner in the process rather than a hired lawyer. I was impressed every step along the way!
Laurie and Cate have helped us trademark several brand names and tags; some of which have taken many, many, many searches. And they’ve always been patient, informative, responsive, and all around on it. We wouldn’t have been able to do it (multiple times) without them. I highly and wholeheartedly recommend Trademarks The Spot.
I have worked with Laurie Marshall for over 10 years and can absolutely say, she is one of the most thorough, hands-on professionals I have met. When it comes to legal issues, especially trademarks, it is imperative to have someone knowledgeable, experienced, and thorough because having something go wrong with your trademark can lead to catastrophic problems with your brand and business. That’s why I go to Laurie and her company —- she has over 15 years of experience and has managed trademarks for major brands and businesses like Major League Baseball. You will be in good hands with Laurie.
Laurie has been a tremendous resource with respect to trademark infringement, filings, searches, etc. She has provided my business with top-notch advice regarding our trademark issues. Laurie is super responsive, easy to reach at all hours and has answers to questions literally at her finger tips. I would refer her to anyone who wants to file a trademark or has issues with their trademark in a litigation scenario.
Laurie of Trademarks The Spot was incredible in my helping me safe our Brand, we were defeated and felt we were over in our Trademark situation the sad part for us was that we had spent tons of money on our product only to find out that someone else had the same name, in comes Laurie and her Team, Laurie’s firm was able to retrieve our Name and Trademark Back, I love her and everything Trademarks The Spot stands for, a complete savior, very straight to the point, no nonsense and very efficient, get’s it done, just handles her business, we feel forever indebted!! Laurie is the best!!!
I started working with Laurie back in 2012 regarding a messy trademark dispute. She was the best advocate I could have asked for (although she is not a litigator!) and helped navigate my business out of a contentious situation with skill and grace. Fast forward 10 years, I am working with her on trademarks for a new business. Laurie and her firm are extremely knowledgeable and diligent and have provided trusted advice in this highly specialized and complicated area of law. I highly recommend her services.
Laurie Marshall is a lifesaver. She assisted me in getting my trademark approved after being refused for ‘likelihood of confusion’. She helped me beat the odds by drafting a great consent agreement and negotiating my case with the examining attorney incredibly well. The examining attorney told me there was no chance of getting my trademark approved… But with Lauries help, she went back on her words. 10/10.
Laurie is lovely and tackled seemingly the impossible and got us what another attorney couldn’t do and didn’t think it was possible. I highly endorse and recommend Laurie. She is delightful and remarkably talented.
Thank you for the chance to share my experience with Attorney Laurie Marshall and her team. I think what I was most impressed with was Laurie’s down-to-earth, accessible nature. Not once but twice we spoke on the phone when she could have easily responded by email. In fact, on both occasions she insisted we speak on the phone for clarity and, I believe, to acknowledge my uncertainty due to my novitiate status. It was obvious Laurie and her team desired only to advocate for my needs with integrity and timeliness. Thank you so much for taking on my application.
Laurie has helped us in every step of the trademark process with prompt and astute legal advice. She has facilitated the registration of our trademark in the most efficient and economical way possible. I would highly recommend her for any business looking for legal help and advice on trademarks.
Laurie made the process of trademarking my company, easy, seamless and understandable. I was very happy with the process, her communication style and the results arrived when she said they would. A great experience all around.
My experience with Laurie and Cate was awesome! As a first-time business owner, they made this experience a breeze and were always available to discuss the steps to getting my trademark complete. They explained everything thoroughly and made me feel confident about the process.
Laurie recently provided search and clearance services to my organization and she was knowledgeable, professional and, above all, practical.
When I met Laurie for the first time I knew I wanted to work with her and it was the best decision for my business. She put my trademark through quickly and taught me so much about the trademark business. I now tell all my business friends to call her asap! With trademarking it is not good to wait like so many business do! Laurie is a joy to work with and I highly recommend her and her business!
As a small business with trademarks that constantly need to be monitored and religiously defended Laurie and her staff are the best. She is fair, strong, honest, and helps us to keep our mark strong and give us great advice. Laurie and her team are able to keep our attention on our business as she handles our legal trademark matters.
After we failed with trademark applications on our own and with another firm, Laurie and her team guided us step-by-step in creating a defensible, on-brand trademark that is now approved and registered!
Laurie & team worked perfectly with our in-house counsel, too, bringing their specialized expertise and teaching everyone a thing or two.
As an entrepreneur, I’ve come to value people that can help navigate tricky situations and save time. Laurie has been helpful, affordable and on point!
I’ve been working with Laurie and Trademarks the Spot for years. She has been so very helpful through my trademarking processes. She is very thorough and timely and I feel super comfortable having her handle my trademark. I highly recommend Trademarks the Spot!
