Is A Trademark Attorney The Same As A Patent Attorney?

A trademark attorney and a patent attorney serve distinct roles, each specializing in different areas of intellectual property (IP) law. While both protect aspects of a business’s intellectual property, they focus on separate types of rights.

A trademark attorney specializes in helping businesses protect brand identifiers—such as names, logos, slogans, and symbols—that distinguish their products or services in the marketplace. They guide clients through the trademark registration process with the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) and ensure that branding elements are unique and protected. Trademark attorneys also help with enforcement, ensuring that other businesses don’t use confusingly similar marks that could mislead consumers or dilute the brand's identity.

A patent attorney, on the other hand, focuses on protecting inventions and innovations. Patent attorneys must have a technical background, typically in fields like engineering or science, and must pass the patent bar exam to be licensed to practice before the USPTO. They help inventors and companies obtain patents, which grant exclusive rights to make, use, and sell a new invention or process for a set period. Patent attorneys are skilled in drafting and prosecuting patent applications, as well as defending or enforcing patents in cases of infringement.

At Elliott Law PLLC we handle both trademarks and patents for small, mid-sized, or large business owners or entrepreneurs. If you have a question about trademarks or patents, do not hesitate to reach out to our intellectual property law firm by calling (832) 864-7333.
