Diligent Oversight, Accessible Support
Trademark Application and Filing Process
Throughout this process, clear communication and expert guidance are paramount. We are committed to supporting you every step of the way, ensuring that your trademark journey is smooth and successful. By choosing to work with us, you're not just filing a trademark; you're investing in the future of your brand.
1
Filing with the USPTO
We use the Trademark Electronic Application System (TEAS), which incurs a $250 government fee per class of goods. There are two application types:
​
-
Regular Application: For those currently using the mark in commerce.
-
Intent-to-Use Application: For those planning to use the mark in the future. This option includes the same initial fees, plus an additional $100 government fee when you start using the mark.
Our service fee for filing the application is $499, regardless of the number of classes entered.
2
Examination Process
A USPTO examiner will review the application to ensure compliance with all legal standards. We handle responses to any Office Actions, including rejections or requests for clarification, as part of our fee.
3
Publication
The mark is published in the Official Gazette, allowing any third parties to file opposition.
4
Registration
If no oppositions are encountered or after resolving any disputes, the mark is officially registered. The USPTO no longer issues certificates in each case, but you will be able to see your application and eventual trademark at www.uspto.gov.
5
Maintenance Filings
To maintain the trademark registration, a Section 8 Declaration (proof of continued use), will need to be filed between years 5-6. At year 10, a combined Section 8 and Section 9 will need to be filed to keep the trademark active. Repeat Section 8 and 9 filings every 10 years to maintain the mark.
Why trust us?
In addition to our comprehensive trademark services, we offer a sophisticated automated monitoring system designed to meticulously track your application and safeguard against any missed deadlines. This vigilant oversight includes proactive responses to office actions and ongoing application monitoring—features that set us apart from many online trademark providers.
Our commitment extends beyond the initial registration; we maintain an open policy for post-registration questions and services. Unlike other trademark sites that may disengage after the document is signed, we continue to monitor your trademark actively. Our system keeps watch over any developments at the USPTO regarding your mark, ensuring you're promptly informed of any occurrences.
