Fees, Costs and Case Results
Where representation is offered on a contingency basis there is no attorney fee unless we recover, and the firm advances case costs — filing fees, expert witnesses and medical records — which are then repaid out of any recovery. If there is no recovery, you owe no attorney fee. The specific terms that apply to a matter are set out in the written fee agreement for that matter.
Where this site refers to a verdict, settlement or court order, that result was dependent on the facts of that case, and results will differ if based on different facts. Past results do not predict or guarantee the outcome of any other matter, and no particular outcome is promised or guaranteed.
Frequently Asked Questions

- We provide comprehensive IP services including trademark registration and prosecution, copyright registration and protection, trade secret development and enforcement, IP licensing agreements, brand portfolio management, IP litigation and enforcement, entertainment IP, and tech startup IP counseling. Our California IP practice serves clients statewide from our Calabasas main office and by appointment in Los Angeles and San Francisco.
- How much does trademark registration cost in California?
- Trademark registration packages start at $1,500 including USPTO filing fees. This includes comprehensive trademark search, application preparation, and prosecution through registration. Additional classes and complex matters may require additional fees. We offer free initial consultations to assess your trademark needs.
- What industries do you serve for intellectual property?
- We serve diverse industries across California including entertainment and media, technology and software, biotech and life sciences, consumer products, food and beverage, fashion and apparel, manufacturing, professional services, and e-commerce. Our IP strategies are tailored to each industry's specific needs.
- What is the difference between a trademark and copyright?
- Trademarks protect brand identifiers like names, logos, and slogans that distinguish your goods or services. Copyrights protect original creative works like writings, music, artwork, software code, and films. Many businesses need both: trademarks for brand identity and copyrights for creative content.
- How long does trademark registration take?
- Federal trademark registration through the USPTO typically takes 8-12 months from filing to registration. The timeline includes initial examination (3-4 months), response to any office actions, publication for opposition (30 days), and final registration.
- What is trade secret protection?
- Trade secret protection safeguards valuable business information that derives economic value from not being generally known. Unlike patents, trade secrets have no registration requirement but require reasonable secrecy measures. Protection lasts indefinitely as long as secrecy is maintained.
- Can you help with entertainment IP?
- Yes, entertainment IP is a core focus of our California practice. We represent production companies, studios, record labels, music publishers, celebrity brands, and content creators. Services include film and TV copyright protection, music licensing, celebrity trademark registration, and merchandise licensing.
- What is IP due diligence?
- IP due diligence is a comprehensive review of intellectual property assets conducted during business transactions like mergers, acquisitions, or funding rounds. The review identifies IP ownership, validates protection status, assesses risks, and evaluates IP value.
