TCP Law's Advertising Disclaimer page discloses that the content on the TCP Law website constitutes attorney advertising under applicable professional rules. This is a standard disclosure required of law firms in New York and many other jurisdictions when they publish marketing materials — including websites — that describe their services and results. The disclaimer confirms that TCP Law focuses on assisting clients with trademark, patent, and copyright matters, including securing intellectual property rights, providing legal counsel on infringement issues, and helping clients navigate the complexities of intellectual property law.

No — the Advertising Disclaimer makes clear that the content provided on the TCP Law website is for general informational purposes only and should not be considered legal advice for any specific case or situation. IP law is highly fact-specific, and general information about how trademarks, patents, or copyrights work cannot substitute for legal advice tailored to your particular circumstances. For advice specific to your IP needs, TCP Law's disclaimer directs you to contact the firm directly — a free introductory consultation is available for exactly this purpose.

No — the Advertising Disclaimer explicitly states that viewing or interacting with the TCP Law website does not create an attorney-client relationship. An attorney-client relationship is established only through a formal engagement, typically documented in a written engagement agreement or retainer signed by both the client and the attorney. Until that relationship is formally established, any information you share through the website's contact form, email, or other channels is not protected by attorney-client privilege in the same way that communications within an established engagement would be. If you have a sensitive matter, contacting TCP Law directly to establish a formal engagement is the appropriate step.

This is a required disclosure under attorney advertising rules in New York and most other states. It means that any results TCP Law has achieved for past clients — whether a successful trademark registration, a granted patent, or a resolved infringement dispute — cannot be used to predict or promise the same outcome in your matter. Every IP case is fact-specific: the outcome of a trademark application depends on the mark itself, the goods and services involved, and the existing registration landscape; the outcome of a patent application depends on the claims, the prior art, and the examiner's analysis. Past success is one indicator of experience and competence, but it is not a guarantee of any specific result in your case.

The Advertising Disclaimer confirms that TCP Law focuses on assisting clients with trademark, patent, and copyright matters. Specifically, the firm's services include securing intellectual property rights — through trademark registration, patent prosecution, and copyright registration — providing legal counsel on infringement issues, and helping clients navigate the complexities of intellectual property law more broadly. This description is consistent with the full scope of services detailed throughout the TCP Law website, covering both proactive IP protection and reactive enforcement and defense matters across all three primary areas of IP law.

Attorney advertising disclaimers are required by state bar rules and professional responsibility regulations governing how lawyers can market their services. In New York, the Rules of Professional Conduct require that attorney advertisements be identified as such, include certain disclosures about the nature of the content, and avoid misleading prospective clients about the likelihood of outcomes. TCP Law's Advertising Disclaimer page fulfills these professional obligations by clearly identifying the website as attorney advertising, clarifying that its content is informational rather than legal advice, confirming that no attorney-client relationship is formed by visiting the site, and including the standard prior results disclaimer. These disclosures protect prospective clients by setting accurate expectations before any formal engagement begins.

To receive legal advice specific to your IP situation rather than the general informational content available on the website, you need to contact TCP Law directly and engage in a consultation. The Advertising Disclaimer directs visitors with specific IP needs to contact the firm directly — and TCP Law offers a free introductory consultation for exactly this purpose. You can book that consultation through the online scheduling calendar, email john@tcplawfirm.com, or call 917-612-1059. Once an attorney-client relationship is formally established through an engagement agreement, the advice you receive is specific to your matter, protected by attorney-client privilege, and held to the professional standards that govern legal representation rather than general publication.

The content on TCP Law's website is published for general informational purposes and reflects the firm's understanding of intellectual property law at the time of publication. IP law — including USPTO examination guidelines, court decisions on trademark and patent eligibility, and copyright enforcement standards — evolves continuously, and general website content may not always reflect the most current legal developments in a specific area. TCP Law's blog publishes articles on relevant IP law developments to help keep visitors informed of changes as they occur. For matters where current law is directly relevant to your situation, a direct consultation with attorney Laurence is the appropriate way to get advice that accounts for the current state of the law as applied to your specific facts.

Yes — a meaningful one. The information on TCP Law's website is general educational content about how trademark, patent, and copyright law works, designed to help visitors understand the IP landscape. It is explicitly not legal advice and does not account for the specific facts, timing, or circumstances of your particular matter. As a client, you receive personalized legal advice from attorney John Laurence based on a thorough understanding of your specific situation — your invention, your brand, your creative work, your competitive landscape, and your goals. That advice is protected by attorney-client privilege, is tailored to your circumstances, and carries the professional obligations that attach to formal legal representation. The website content and client representation serve different purposes and should not be treated as equivalent.

If your IP matter is time-sensitive — for example, you have received a cease and desist letter with a compliance deadline, you are approaching a one-year bar on filing a patent application after public disclosure, or you have discovered active infringement — you should contact TCP Law directly and immediately rather than relying on general website content. The Advertising Disclaimer is clear that website content is for general informational purposes and is not a substitute for legal advice specific to your situation. You can reach attorney John Laurence by phone at 917-612-1059 or by email at john@tcplawfirm.com, and a free introductory consultation can be scheduled through the online booking calendar. For urgent IP matters, prompt professional engagement is the only appropriate response.
