Freelance Intellectual Property Paralegal
Meet the quiet professional behind well managed IP portfolios
Haugen Paralegal gives attorneys and law firms meticulous trademark and copyright support, backed by two decades of experience.
More than 20 years inside IP legal teams
Martha Haugen has spent her entire career in intellectual property. For more than 20 years, she worked inside busy IP legal teams, preparing trademark applications, managing copyright registrations, tracking prosecution, and keeping dockets accurate while attorneys stayed focused on strategy.
That experience taught her the difference between a rule and a habit. It also taught her exactly what legal professionals need from a trademark paralegal: precision, discretion, and updates that never require decoding.
Today, Martha runs Haugen Paralegal, LLC as an independent freelance practice, bringing that same standard of care to law firms across the country.
What guides our work
Four commitments shape every matter we touch.
Meticulous
Every filing, docket date, and citation is checked before it leaves our hands. Nothing goes out on autopilot.
Dependable
When we commit to a deadline, you can build your schedule around it.
Clear
Status reports and next steps arrive in plain, direct language.
Discreet
Sensitive marks, filings, and confidential client matters stay exactly where they belong.
The details are handled. That is the whole point.
IP Paralegal Support
A trusted extension of your legal team
We work quietly behind the scenes so you can shine in front of your clients.
Filings, dockets, and deadlines move forward without reminders or hand holding, giving you the confidence to set aside administrative details and get back to the work only you can do.
Focused where we are strongest
Depth matters more than breadth in this work. Haugen Paralegal concentrates on trademark and copyright matters, from portfolio management and USPTO prosecution to disputes and enforcement assistance. We do not offer patent support, and we are honest about that. Explore our services for the full picture.
