USPTO Registration No. 8,130,429 Officially Confirms Brand Ownership and Market Leadership

PORTLAND, Ore., Feb. 12, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- SEO for Lawyers, LLC has officially secured federal trademark registration for LAWSEO®, solidifying its exclusive ownership of the brand and reinforcing its dominant position in legal search engine optimization nationwide.

The United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) issued Registration No. 8,130,429 on February 3, 2026, under U.S. Application Serial No. 99,253,939. The registered owner is SEO for Lawyers, LLC.

"This is not just a trademark registration — it is a declaration of ownership," said Todd Stager, Founder of SEO for Lawyers, LLC. "LAWSEO® is not a generic phrase. It is our brand, our system, and our proprietary approach to helping law firms dominate search results in competitive markets."

A Clear Message to the Market

With this federal registration:

• LAWSEO® is now protected nationwide under U.S. trademark law
   
• The brand is legally owned and controlled by SEO for Lawyers, LLC
   
• Unauthorized commercial use may constitute infringement
   
• The ® symbol now formally applies

The legal marketing industry has become increasingly saturated with agencies attempting to blur the line between generic SEO services and true legal-industry expertise. The federal registration of LAWSEO® draws a sharp distinction: this is a protected brand backed by a proven methodology.

Built Specifically for Law Firms — Not Adapted for Them

SEO for Lawyers, LLC developed LAWSEO® as a dedicated, law-firm-only growth framework — not a repurposed marketing template. The system focuses exclusively on:

• High-value case acquisition
   
• Practice-area authority positioning
   
• Local and national competitive SEO strategies
   
• Ethical compliance with state bar advertising rules
   
• Long-term digital dominance over short-term traffic spikes

While other agencies "offer SEO to lawyers," LAWSEO® was engineered from the ground up for the legal industry.
