Why Trademark?

Your brand is an asset worth protecting

The Risk of Waiting

Every day you operate without a trademark, someone could file for the same or similar mark. If they file first, you could be forced to rebrand, losing all the equity you've built in your name, logo, and domain.

Rebranding costs startups tens of thousands of dollars once you factor in new websites, marketing materials, and lost momentum. A trademark costs a fraction of that.

What Protection Gets You

  • Exclusive nationwide rights to your mark
  • Legal presumption of ownership
  • Ability to sue infringers in federal court
  • Use the ® symbol (registered trademark)
  • Foundation for international protection
  • Increased company valuation

Don't confuse trademark with business registration

Forming an LLC or corporation doesn't give you trademark rights. State business registration only prevents another company from using your exact name in that state. A federal trademark gives you nationwide protection and prevents anyone from using a confusingly similar mark in your industry, across all 50 states.

The Process

How trademark registration works

Comprehensive search, strategic filing, and ongoing support

1

Initial Consultation

We discuss your mark, do a "knockout" search, and assess the strength of what's protectable.

2

Comprehensive Search

We search the USPTO database, state registrations, common law uses, and domains for conflicts.

3

Search Results & Analysis

We present our findings and a legal opinion on your likelihood of success.

4

Application Preparation

We prepare your USPTO application with the proper classification and basis for filing.

5

Filing & Monitoring

We file with the USPTO and monitor for office actions during examination.

6

Office Action Response

If the USPTO issues an office action, we draft and file a response. Included in your flat fee.

7

Publication & Registration

Once approved, your mark is published for opposition. If no one opposes, you receive your registration within a few weeks.

FAQ

Common Questions

When should I file for a trademark?
File as early as possible, ideally before you launch. You can file based on "intent to use" if you haven't started selling yet.
What makes a strong trademark?
The strongest marks are invented or arbitrary words unrelated to your product. Descriptive marks are weak and harder to protect.
Do I need to trademark my logo separately?
If your logo is distinct from your company name, yes. Many companies file both a word mark and a logo mark for maximum protection.
What if someone is already using my name?
It depends on their industry and whether they hold a federal registration. This is why the comprehensive search is so important.
How long does trademark registration take?
Typically 7-10 months from filing to registration if there are no issues.
