I can’t say enough good things about Jackson. He has always gone out of his way to help and is very knowledgeable of the trademark process. In a time of fear and uncertainty, he always gave us peace.

My wife and I launched a new vegan food business in May of 2018. Our first product went on the shelves and sold out quickly. We had waited for our first reorder before shelling out the money from our shoestring budget to register our Trademark at the USPTO. Huge mistake! Some person applied at the USPTO for our Trademark just after our product went on the shelves, and two days before we attempted to apply. We learned a bit later, after some investigation, that they had no products, nor any legitimate proof that they actually intended to use the Trademark. We quickly hired Jackson and he wrote them a cease and desist letter. Their attorney notified us if we paid them $15,000, they would be happy to withdrawal their application and go away. Your classic shakedown. Jackson laid out all the evidence, making a strong case for our rights to and implied ownership of the Trademark. He is a true expert in Trademark law, using previous case law rulings that led their attorney, who seemed to possess little knowledge in this field, to quickly and dramatically lower their offer. The USPTO is a system of nightmarish bureaucracy that allows even clear-cut extortion schemes like the one we experienced to thrive. Having a Trademark Attorney as experienced and knowledgeable as Jackson can help you to avoid these kinds of problems. We will definitely use him again. Thank you Jackson!

Jackson successfully represented my company in the opposition of the registration of an infringing trademark and the defense of a related motion to cancel our registration. Jackson was experienced in working with the Trademark Trial and Appeal Board (TTAB), always meeting their stringent schedules. He was easy to work with and his fees are reasonable. I recommend him highly.

Jackson MacDonald provided our fledgling on-line business an excellent review as to whether filing for a USPTO trademark(s) would be advisable. His advisory opinion was extremely cogent, easy to read, and made complete/logical sense. He presented additional alternatives for our consideration also.. All three of us co-owners were impressed his opinions clarify and its helpfulness. He was a pleasure to work with, quickly understanding our business and its potential issues. We could not be more pleased with the professionalism of his legal services. And a nice bonus, his pricing was more than fair. We rate him a 6-star attorney (on a scale of 1 to 5). We will heartily recommend him to all needing trademark counsel.
