Denver, CO (PRWEB) November 05, 2011

After providing corporate and small business patent services in Colorado for over a decade, Colorado patent attorney Mark Trenner announces the opening of his online patent law firm to provide a convenient, affordable way to protect inventions and ideas working locally, regionally and nationally.

The advantage of Trenner Law?s online patent law firm is that clients work directly with an experienced corporate patent attorney via telephone, email and or fax. This enables clients to save the time and money associated with face-to-face meetings, including meeting time, office overhead and travel related expenses.

Of course, if clients want to meet with patent attorney Mark Trenner in person he has multiple office meeting locations at offices along the Colorado front range including Denver, Boulder, Interlocken, Broomfield, Golden, Littleton, Longmont, Louisville & Lone Tree.

Mark was recently interviewed on the well-known consumer advocate TV show hosted by Tom Martino.

?[The Trenner Law Firm has] offers a very good price for people who want to just get a search and legal opinion as to whether or not they should move forward with trying to get a patent. For $ 495 you can find out if your idea is basically patentable,? says Martino

With a small investment inventors can save themselves a lot of time and money by first finding out if their idea is already patented and/or patentable. Mark Trenner?s online patent law firm can do a patentability search to make sure your idea has not already been patented for only $ 250. They also offer an enhanced $ 495 package that includes a prior artwork search and a written analysis of the patentability of your idea by Mark. ?Often when I provide the search results to a client, the inventor says ?I didn?t realize there were already so many products similar to mine.?? Mark continues; ?It?s better to find out up front, before you spend a lot of time and money and invest your whole future into this invention, if it has been patented already, then move on and pick the next big idea. If it hasn?t, then let?s move forward with protection that locks in your rights so no one else can take it protecting your invention.?

Trenner Law?s online law firm offers package priced services so inventors or other clients with ideas can estimateknow their costs up front, and can save money without compromise. Of course, they still work directly with a patent attorney.

Brown now feels like he must fight for his name if he has any hope of keeping it. He plans to contact someone at Swobo to "alert them, or re-alert them that there is a trademark confusion issue here."

When asked how he feels about his name being trademarked by someone else, Brown said he's "distraught" and "upset."

"When it comes down to it, when you Google 'Sprout' and 'bicycle' my site comes up first," he told me via telephone today. "I always want to give people the benefit of the doubt... maybe they didn't research the name first; but my fear is that they did do research and found that I hadn't trademarked it yet."

Brown, 29, says simply giving up his brand name isn't an option at this point. He says he's never pulled money out of his business to pay himself, and that he's spent everything on marketing and going to bike shows. "My equity lies in name recognition, so redefining myself would come at a great expense."

Brown still puts in a few shifts at a local pub, but his dream is to have Sprout be successful enough so that he could put service jobs behind him. "This is supposed to be what I'm doing for the rest of my life."

I hope to hear back from either Spencer Lueders or Peter Discoe to learn more of their side of the story. I will post a follow up when I can.

UPDATE: A lawyer has chimed in with a comment saying that Ft Collins Bicycle Company has only applied for the Sprout trademark. I haven't had a chance to verify this yet, but wanted to let folks know. The comment is below:

"... Ft. Collins has not federally registered the mark, it has only filed an application to do so. The US Patent and Trademark Office hasn't considered the application yet. Right now, the application indicates that Ft. Collins hasn't used the SPROUT mark in commerce, which means that Ft. Collin's rights in the mark are open to challenge (either inside the US Patent and Trademark Office, or outside, such as in court) from someone who's used the mark prior to the Sept. 15, 2011 filing date."
