Erik M. Pelton & Associates, PLLC (EMP&A), a boutique IP law firm focused exclusively on trademark protection, has successfully secured more than 5,000 client trademark registrations at the USPTO.
EMP&A has built its practice around understandable and accessible trademark protection for small businesses and growing brands.
“Five thousand registrations represents far more than a number,” said Erik Pelton, founder and lead attorney. “Each trademark filing reflects an investment in a business’ future, and we’re proud to have helped so many clients secure that protection over the years.”
Founded after Pelton’s experience as a trademark examining attorney at the USPTO, EMP&A is widely recognized for its flat-fee pricing and client-first approach, combining deep experience with a streamlined process that guides clients through what can be a confusing and intimidating system.
This milestone also reflects the firm’s steady growth alongside its clients. EMP&A has remained focused on providing thoughtful strategy and responsive service since its founding in 1999, and remains committed to educating businesses about the importance of early and strategic trademark registration to support long-term brand value.
Pelton has taught trademark law at Howard University School of Law and Georgetown University Law Center, and regularly trains trademark attorneys through continuing legal education programs and webinars.
EMP&A assists clients at every stage of the process, including searches, application filings, responses to USPTO Office Actions, renewals, and more.
EMP&A has more than 250 five-star reviews and an A+ rating from the Better Business Bureau.
