Here’s How It Works.

 

Click "Get Started" and complete the information. Then, we will send you a link to schedule our initial meeting via phone, Teams (video), or in person. During our initial meeting, we will discuss your business name and brand strategy, product or service, our process for trademark registration, and the next steps. 

Trademarks

A thorough, nationwide trademark search should be conducted prior to spending too much time and money on creating your business name, logo, and brand identity. We can assist you with a search to determine the strength of your current business name and logo, file your trademark application, and monitor it until registration. We believe predictable billing practices provide you with much-needed certainty in your budget. Our trademark services are offered through flat-fee (or fixed) prices. For most services, you will know the amount of your bill before we start. 

Trademark Package for the name of your business (Word Mark)
We will schedule a phone, Teams (video), or in-person meeting to learn more about your business and brand. After the meeting, we will conduct a thorough trademark clearance search and analysis and provide you with an opinion letter about possible conflicts or challenges.  If your chosen name appears registerable and you use the mark in commerce, we will collect and create USPTO-acceptable mark specimens. We will research applicable classes related to your goods or services to ensure that filing is in the proper class. Then, we will complete the trademark application and file it on your behalf. This package includes filing one trademark application with USPTO for one class of goods or services and includes responses to non-substantive requests. This includes responses to requests for disclaimers, clarifications on meaning or translations, ownership information, or questions concerning colors or elements of the applied-for-mark. We will continue to monitor your trademark application until registration. After registration, if you choose, we will request a certified copy of the registration document for you to display. **The filing fees to USPTO are due when we file your application. After completing the application, we will send you a link to sign the application and pay the filing fees digitally. The current USPTO fees are $250 or $350, depending on the complexity of the trademark. The fee to the USPTO for a certified copy of the registration certificate is $25. To get started, click here.
