Hi, I’m Alec Allen Ross, the founder and trademark attorney of The Trademark Place, a law firm that specializes in trademark search, registration, monitoring, and renewals. I have a diverse background in intellectual property, antitrust, project management, marketing, international development, education, research, immigration, foreign languages, technical writing, creative writing, software development, and web/graphic design. I am a member in good standing of the Florida Bar, the Bar of the United States District Court for the Southern District of Florida, and the Iowa Bar.

I created this personal website to share my insights and opinions on various topics related to trademark law and intellectual property rights. I also want to showcase some of my work and hobbies that I enjoy in my spare time. My goal is to provide valuable information and resources for anyone who is interested in learning more about trademarks and how they can protect their brand identity and business reputation.

I have been passionate about trademarks since I was a kid. I remember being fascinated by the logos and slogans of different companies and products. I wanted to know how they came up with them and what they meant. I also wanted to create my own trademarks and see them on the market. That’s why I decided to pursue a career in trademark law and help others achieve their branding goals.

I have filed over 700 trademarks per year with a high rate of success and advised between 1200-1800 clients per year on branding and marketing strategies related to their trademarks. I have also handled more complex trademark matters, such as ex parte appeals and third-party disputes. I have extensive experience in conducting trademark clearance searches using various sources, including the USPTO’s trademark database (Trademark Electronic Search System, or TESS), which allows me to see if any trademark has already been registered or applied for that is similar to your trademark, used on related products or services, and live.

I believe that trademarks are not just symbols or words, but powerful tools that can communicate your unique value proposition and differentiate you from your competitors. Trademarks can also create an emotional connection with your customers and foster loyalty and trust. That’s why I always strive to provide high-quality, personalized, and affordable trademark services that can help you achieve your business objectives and protect your intellectual property rights.
