Harrington & Harrington

Our objective is attempted protection of the client's technology & business, and taking advantage of tax provisions in the client's startup & ongoing business, licensing, & end of business cycle. We recommend asset protection where possible, and the purchase of insurance for patent infringement (which can help to put the client on a higher substantive footing versus others). We are generally not an IP litigating firm, as we are focused upon helping clients to conserve & preserve their holdings rather than cause litigation drainage. We want to talk with people who need help in creating and protecting intellectual property and in helping the client take advantage of tax provisions benefiting them.

We try to help every client start business the right way, select the proper trademark which is not descriptive of the goods and services, preferably not a dictionary term, no last names, no geographics and neither scandalous nor closely related to another mark. Why? Because such a mark will: (1) maximize goodwill. (2) Reduce the probability of trademark lawsuits, the cost to you of which are NOT DEDUCTIBLE, (3) Reduce the probability of confusion and having the return from advertising expenditures end up in your competitors pockets, and (4) Maximize the tax effects and the control effects at the end of your business life so that a low tax rate sale (capital gains if possible), or a more secure sale (owner financed if need be) is achieved. If you pick a bad mark, the litigation and loss of the advantages that could have been had are difficult to overcome. Our objective is all of these things, as well as a smooth trademark application process.

LA to eliminate tenant parking space required for new construction; an indirect way of making life even more hellish for parking space hunters. Citizens w/o cars = more dependent on public transportation construction & politicians can get more "construction political donations"
