The Founder

About Prolumis Legal

Natalie Nguyen, Founder

I'm a trademark attorney and brand strategist with a focus on helping businesses build, protect, and scale valuable brands with clarity and confidence. Over the course of my career, I've advised thousands of clients—from early-stage founders to established companies—on trademark strategy, portfolio development, and brand risk.

My approach goes beyond filing applications. I work closely with clients to understand their business goals, identify risks before they become problems, and create trademark strategies that support long-term growth. Whether it's conducting nuanced clearance analyses, navigating complex office actions, or structuring brand portfolios, I bring both legal precision and practical business insight to every engagement.

Before launching my practice, I worked in high-volume and in-house environments, giving me a unique perspective on both efficiency and depth. I've seen where traditional models fall short—rushed advice, fragmented portfolios, and reactive strategies—and I built this firm to offer a more thoughtful, strategic alternative.

Today, I partner with founders, creatives, and growing brands as both trademark counsel and a trusted legal advisor. My goal is simple: to help you protect what you're building—and position it for what's next.

Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a trademark, and why do I need one?
A trademark protects your brand identity—names, logos, slogans—by giving you the exclusive right to use them in commerce. Without a registration, you have limited ability to stop others from using similar marks, which can dilute your brand and confuse customers.
How long does the trademark registration process take?
The USPTO typically takes 8–12 months to process a trademark application, though timelines vary. We keep you informed at every stage and handle any office actions or oppositions that arise along the way.
What is the difference between a trademark and a copyright?
Trademarks protect brand identifiers (names, logos, slogans), while copyrights protect original creative works (writing, art, software, music). Many businesses need both—we can help you determine the right mix of protection.
Do I need to register my copyright?
Copyright protection exists from the moment of creation, but registration with the U.S. Copyright Office provides significant advantages—including the ability to sue for infringement and recover statutory damages and attorney’s fees.
