FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

How much does your trademark application service cost?

Our trademark application fee is $2500 flat, which INCLUDES the $250.00 USPTO government fee for 1 trademark in 1 class of goods, provided the trademark is currently being used in commerce. This is a full-service representation during the prosecution of your trademark application. Our law firm completes a preliminary clearance search, drafts your application, files your application, and corresponds with the USPTO examining attorneys on your behalf during the trademark prosecution process.

Are there any additional fees?

Usually no, provided your trademark is currently being used in commerce and you haven chosen a distinctive trademark. If the trademark is not currently being used in commerce and your application is filed in advance on an intent-to-use basis, then additional fees may be required to file a supplemental Statement of Use (if the trademark application is approved by the USPTO). If the trademark application is refused by the USPTO due to conflicting trademarks or other legal issues, then additional fees would only apply if you choose to appeal the refusal. Additional fees may also apply for services outside the scope of our basic application service, such as application extension requests, additional classes, third-party trademark litigation, etc.

How long does it take to register a trademark?

We can generally draft and file your application within 3 business days, however it takes the USPTO about 10 months to review and issue a registration certificate for registrations that are granted.

Is there any way to expedite my trademark application?

Yes, we offer an expediting option. Please contact us to inquire. Hiring proper representation will also shorten the timeline, in general. Not only do we have the USPTO on speed dial, but we are also able to avoid common refusals, avoid delays, and correspond quickly with the USPTO.

What do you need from me to get started?

Once we introduce ourselves, we may agree to take your case and we will email you invoice that can be paid online with credit card or debit card.
