Protect Your Business Identity with Expert Legal Support

A trademark is a unique symbol, word, phrase, or design that identifies and distinguishes your products or services from others. Registering your trademark provides exclusive legal rights to use the mark in commerce and prevents others from using similar marks that could confuse consumers. It's essential for protecting your brand identity and building brand recognition.

The typical trademark registration process takes 8-12 months from filing to registration. This includes the initial USPTO examination (3-4 months), publication for opposition (30 days), and final registration. With our expedited service, we can file your application within 24 hours of receiving your information.

USPTO (United States Patent and Trademark Office) filing fees are government fees required to process your trademark application. These fees are separate from our service fees and are noted as "+ Federal Filing Fee" in our pricing. Current USPTO fees range from $250-$350 per class of goods/services.

Yes, you can register a trademark for multiple classes of goods and services. Each class requires a separate filing fee. Our Multi-Class and Premium packages include coverage for multiple classes, providing comprehensive protection across different product or service categories.

If the USPTO issues an office action (objection), our attorneys will work with you to prepare a comprehensive response. Our Standard and higher packages include office action support. We have a 98% approval rate because we conduct thorough searches and prepare applications carefully to minimize rejections.

Yes, a trademark search is highly recommended before filing. It identifies potential conflicts with existing marks and helps avoid costly rejections. All our packages include trademark searches - from basic searches in our Essentials package to comprehensive 50-state searches in our Professional package.

Once registered, a trademark lasts for 10 years and can be renewed indefinitely as long as you continue using the mark in commerce. You must file maintenance documents between the 5th and 6th year, and then renew every 10 years thereafter.

The ™ symbol can be used with any mark to indicate trademark rights, even without registration. The ® symbol can only be used after your trademark is officially registered with the USPTO. Using ® before registration is illegal and can result in penalties.

State LLC registration and federal trademark registration are separate processes. Just because a business name is registered as an LLC in your state doesn't mean you have trademark rights nationwide. A federal trademark registration provides much broader protection and prevents others from using similar marks across the United States.

Our 100% Approval Guarantee (included in Standard and higher packages) means that if your trademark application is rejected by the USPTO, we will work with you to overcome the rejection at no additional attorney fee. If we determine the mark cannot be registered, we will provide a full refund of our service fees (USPTO fees are non-refundable).
