Wolf Greenfield & Motiv

When Motiv is developing new branding for clients, they turn to Wolf Greenfield’s Trademark & Copyright Practice to clear marks in advance of pitching them to clients. This is a critical step to avoid potential future litigation. In addition to working together on trademark-related issues, Motiv and Wolf Greenfield often team up to provide educational opportunities for clients, such as branding, design and intellectual property webinars. Given that Motiv and Wolf Greenfield provide services that complement each other, and there is some overlap in clients, teaming up has been mutually beneficial.

Straight From The Team

We have partnered with Wolf Greenfield on a variety of client patent and trademark initiatives. What stands out most is the firm’s inquisitive and creative culture; they don’t just provide expert counsel, they roll up their sleeves and ideate to develop and refine innovative and valuable solutions.
