Timothy Lyden advises clients regarding the selection, protection, and enforcement of trademarks and service marks in the United States and abroad. He routinely prosecutes domestic and international trademark and service mark applications and registrations for a wide range of clients. He has coordinated large-scale international trademark and service mark filings, involving 150 countries, and much smaller-scale filings. Clients have included large corporations entering new ventures abroad, franchise companies expanding into new markets, small startup companies with international investments, and fast food restaurant chains.

Tim also counsels clients regarding the proper use of their brands and permitted use of third parties' marks, reviews various agreements and contracts to advise on intellectual property issues, and conducts full-scale intellectual property audits to help clients identify strengths and weaknesses in their protection of intellectual property and identify steps they can take to better protect their proprietary interests. In addition, Tim regularly advises clients concerning developments in the law and resources available to them to train personnel in important practices governed by copyright and trademark law. Finally, Tim assists clients in the policing, protection, and enforcement of their marks on the Internet, including cyber-piracy, meta-tags, and more traditional forms of infringement.
