About TM PRo
Experience You Can Trust. Protection You Deserve.
In the world of federal trademarks, your brand is your most valuable asset. But for many entrepreneurs and business owners, the process of protecting that brand has become a minefield. Between complex USPTO regulations and a rising tide of sophisticated phishing scams, it has never been harder to know who to trust.
I’m Trevor A. Caudle, Esq., and I built TM Pro to change that.
I am not just a developer or a directory owner—I am a practicing trademark attorney with over 21 years of experience. From my roots in Gilroy to my legal education at Santa Clara University and my decades-long practice in San Francisco, my career has been dedicated to one thing: protecting the people and companies that make our economy thrive.
The Human Behind the List
Why I Created TM Pro
Throughout my 20+ years in the "trademark trenches," I’ve seen the industry evolve. While technology has made filing easier, it has also paved the way for bad actors. I’ve watched as scammers—posing as "official" agencies or law firms—target my clients and the public with fake invoices and manufactured urgency.
I realized that the public didn't just need a list of lawyers; they needed a gatekeeper.
The TM Pro Standard
Every name on the TM Pro list is there because I personally put it there. This isn't a paid directory where the highest bidder gets the top spot. I have used my two decades of legal expertise to:
Verify credentials and Bar standing.
Evaluate real-world trademark experience.
Interview the attorneys to ensure they are who they say they are.
When you use TM Pro, you aren't just looking at a list of names. You are looking at a curated group of professionals who have earned my "Seal of Approval."
I’ve done the homework, I’ve vetted the counsel, and I’ve flagged the scams—so you can focus on building your brand with confidence.
