Trademark enforcement
Trademark infringement attorney
Finding an infringer is only half the battle — stopping them takes legal authority. Goalie IP's licensed trademark attorneys enforce your US trademark rights with attorney-signed cease-and-desist letters, USPTO oppositions, and marketplace takedowns — and prepare for federal litigation when it's warranted.

How we act
Enforcement, not just alerts
We're licensed attorneys, so we can do more than flag a problem — we can act on it. Every enforcement matter is handled by an attorney, start to finish.
USPTO oppositions & cancellations
When a conflicting application is published, or a registration should never have issued, we file oppositions and cancellations at the Trademark Trial and Appeal Board.
Marketplace & platform takedowns
IP-infringement reports and takedown requests to Amazon, eBay, Etsy, and social platforms to pull counterfeit and copycat listings misusing your brand.
Litigation referral & case prep
When escalation is warranted, we prepare the case file for federal court and coordinate litigation — engineer-attorneys who can document the infringement precisely.
How it works
From infringement to resolution
Free consultation
Tell us what you found and share your mark. We assess whether the use is likely infringing and outline the enforcement options and likely cost.
Evidence & analysis
We document the infringing use and analyze the likelihood of confusion against your registered mark — the record that backs every demand.
Demand & takedown
We send an attorney-signed cease-and-desist letter and file marketplace or platform takedowns to stop the infringement at its source.
Escalation
If the infringer doesn't comply, we escalate — a USPTO opposition or cancellation, or preparation for federal court action.

FAQ
Trademark infringement questions
What does a trademark infringement attorney do?
A trademark infringement attorney identifies unauthorized use of your registered mark, documents the infringement, and takes legal action to stop it — typically an attorney-signed cease-and-desist letter, a USPTO opposition or cancellation, or a marketplace takedown, escalating to federal litigation when warranted. Goalie IP's attorneys handle US federal (USPTO) trademark matters.
When should I hire a trademark infringement attorney?
As soon as you find another party using a mark confusingly similar to yours — a competing USPTO filing, a copycat product listing, a look-alike domain, or an impersonation account. Acting early keeps the matter inexpensive to resolve and protects your priority; waiting can weaken your rights through delay. A free consultation will tell you whether the use is likely infringing and what your options are.
How much does it cost to send a cease-and-desist letter?
Enforcement is scoped per matter, so we quote it up front after a free consultation rather than charging a flat rate — the right response depends on the infringer, the channel, and your goals. If you first want a documented analysis of a specific conflict, a one-time Single Infringement Report is $49.99 and lays the groundwork for any demand letter.
Can you stop infringers on Amazon and other marketplaces?
Yes. For counterfeit or infringing listings on marketplaces like Amazon, eBay, and Etsy, we file platform IP-infringement reports and takedown requests, and we pair them with a cease-and-desist letter to the seller when appropriate. A registered US trademark makes these takedowns faster and more durable.
Do I need a registered trademark to take enforcement action?
A federal (USPTO) registration gives you the strongest, nationwide enforcement position and unlocks tools like USPTO oppositions and marketplace brand-registry takedowns. Goalie IP focuses on US federal trademark rights; if your mark isn't registered yet, we can advise on clearance and registration as part of your enforcement strategy.
Does contacting Goalie IP create an attorney-client relationship?
No. The initial consultation is free and confidential, and contacting us or using this site does not by itself create an attorney-client relationship — that begins only once we agree on scope and you sign an engagement agreement.
