Frequently Asked Questions
How long does trademark registration take?
The process typically takes 9–13 months, but can take longer if the USPTO issues office actions or if third parties oppose your application. Starting now with a thorough clearance search and well-prepared application can help avoid delays.
Why is a trademark clearance search important?
Conducting a trademark clearance search is essential to ensure your desired trademark doesn’t conflict with existing ones. These searches often generate extensive reports that require professional analysis to identify potential issues. Skipping this step can lead to application rejection, legal disputes, or costly rebranding efforts. Engaging in a thorough clearance search safeguards your brand and investment.
Do I need an attorney to file a trademark application?
While you can file on your own, an experienced trademark attorney helps avoid costly mistakes, respond to USPTO office actions, and protect your brand from legal challenges.
Can I register my trademark if I haven’t launched my business yet?
Yes! Filing an “Intent-to-Use” application allows you to reserve your rights while you finalize your product or service launch. However, you must later prove actual use before registration is finalized.
Why should I work with you over those DIY companies ?
It’s important to understand that applying for trademark registration is a legal process, not simply a “check-the-box” or “fill-in-the-blanks” task. As a licensed attorney with experience in trademark law and USPTO requirements, I will guide you through each step of the process.
Those DIY companies do not provide you with any strategy or thoughtfulness when filing your application. They simply take whatever you type into their site and submit it to the USPTO on your application. They don’t provide a clearance search (sure, you can add it on) and they don’t tell you whether your application has any chance of success. In many cases, it ends up being more expensive for clients to correct these types of applications.
What happens if my desired trademark is already taken?
If a similar trademark exists, you may need to modify your name, demonstrate a difference in goods/services, or in some cases, challenge the existing mark. A trademark attorney can help assess your options.
Will my trademark really last forever?
Yes! As long as you continue using it and renew it at the required intervals, you own your mark for life.
Why do you charge a consultation fee?
We charge a consultation fee to reserve dedicated time and attention for your matter. It helps ensure that each meeting is focused and productive and that we make the most of our time and yours.
That said, if you move forward with any of our services within 7 days, the full consultation fee is applied toward your total – so it’s not an extra cost, just the first step in working together.
How do I get started?
Schedule a Consultation – Book a time to discuss your trademark needs.
Choose a Service Package – Select the level of protection that fits your business.
We Handle the Rest – From searches to filing and office action responses, we guide you through the process.
