Opinion Letters
When you need a formal written analysis — to support a transaction, document a good-faith judgment, or evaluate risk before you act — we prepare a standalone opinion letter at a flat fee.
Some decisions call for more than verbal advice — they call for a formal written analysis you can rely on, file, or hand to someone else. An opinion letter documents a reasoned legal judgment: that a mark is available to adopt, that a proposed use presents an acceptable level of risk, or that a portfolio holds up under scrutiny. It can support a transaction, satisfy a lender or acquirer, or document the good faith of a decision made after proper diligence.
We prepare four kinds of trademark opinions. A Preliminary Clearance Memo gives you a concise read on registrability and conflict risk early in the process. A Comprehensive Clearance Opinion is the formal version — a full analysis, organized by risk tier, suitable for reliance. An Infringement Risk Opinion evaluates your exposure with respect to a specific third-party mark. And a Due Diligence Opinion reviews trademark assets in connection with an acquisition, license, or investment.
Every opinion is quoted as a flat fee before work begins, scoped to the question you actually need answered.
