Survey evidence is a useful tool in proving (or disproving) the strength of a contested mark. Our tailored approach ensures that the most appropriate method is selected for your case.
Secondary Meaning
Has your client’s mark acquired secondary meaning among consumers? Our survey evidence will provide the answer.
Acquired distinctiveness
From product design to color, our survey evidence will help you determine how trade dress impacts consumers and your case.
