Potomac Law Helps Oberheim Reclaim Worldwide Trademark Rights

Potomac Law Partners Janet Satterthwaite and Jeremy Cubert, and David Kelly of Kelly IP, recently worked with musical instrument pioneer Tom Oberheim to help reclaim worldwide rights from Music Tribe to the Oberheim trademark after 36 years. 

“I was very happy after all these years to have regained ownership of some of the Oberheim trademarks,” said Tom Oberheim, Oberheim’s founder. “This led to the hope that someday I would be able to use my own name in all countries where the Oberheim trademark exists, so we contacted Music Tribe.”

“Tom Oberheim is a pioneer of analog synthesizers, and our whole industry owes him a debt of gratitude for his innovations,” said Uli Behringer, Founder of Music Tribe. “When we learned that Tom was still interested in making his own products with his original name, we knew the right thing to do was to transfer all of our Oberheim registrations back to him.”
