Legal research and drafting have quietly become the place where trademarks & brand protection practices win or lose hours. Client expectations in Trademarks & Brand Protection have shifted, and the tools advocates rely on have to keep up. For trademarks & brand protection teams, the quality of a legal answer rests on whether it can be traced back to a real source.
