Understanding these Disclaimers and Terms

In the United States, a technology company such as Trademark247 cannot practice law (by providing trademark filing services or legal advice) because it is a technology company and not a law firm. A law firm, such as ipProtect LLP, whose primary purpose is to practice law cannot also create software. Therefore two separate legal business entities must exist in order to serve you in a technological and legal capacity.

Definitions:

  • Legal Services - Any service that requires the legal advice of, or legal assistance from licensed attorneys.
  • Legal Communication - Any communication between an attorney and his/her client. Legal Communication is attorney-client privileged and not accessible to Trademark247 customer service staff.
