Protect What Makes Your Brand Unique
Our process begins with a personalized consultation to understand your brand, goals, and any specific questions. During this session, we conduct a quick “knockout search” to identify any immediate conflicts with your brand name or logo. This initial step gives you a fast assessment of your trademark’s feasibility.
After you’ve retained our services, we conduct an in-depth comprehensive search. This search goes beyond the knockout, uncovering any potential conflicts that may affect your trademark’s success. We’ll review the results with you, allowing you to make an informed decision about whether to proceed with the application or consider adjustments.
Once you’re ready to move forward, we meticulously prepare and file your application with the USPTO. Our team handles every detail to ensure your application is thorough, accurate, and compliant, setting it up for a smooth review process.
After submitting your application, it enters the USPTO’s queue for review by an examining attorney. We keep you updated on the progress and monitor the application throughout this waiting period.
If the USPTO raises any questions or concerns (called “office actions”), we handle the response, providing any additional information needed to address issues and keep your application on track.
Once your trademark is approved, you may want to protect it by monitoring for possible infringements. While we don’t offer monitoring services directly, we can refer you to a trusted monitoring company. We also send reminders when it’s time to renew your trademark, helping you maintain your brand’s protection over time.

Build Immediate Trust and Credibility
A registered trademark shows customers that you’re serious about your business. It gives your brand a professional edge, attracting more clients who trust in your brand’s quality and reliability. -
Secure Your Brand as Your Own
A trademark is the only way to legally claim your brand name, logo, and slogan. It’s your official shield against copycats, letting the world know: This brand is mine. -
Protect Your Growth for Years to Come
As your business expands, your trademark will be there to protect your brand’s reputation and uniqueness. This long-term security even allows you to license your brand, creating potential income streams and partnership opportunities. -
Defend Your Business Without Costly Legal Fights
Having a trademark is the simplest way to protect yourself against copycats. It allows you to stop others from using your brand without getting into expensive, time-consuming disputes. -
Expand Nationwide and Stay Safe Online
Your registered trademark protects you across the entire U.S., giving you peace of mind to grow your brand nationally and online. With a trademark, you can legally act if someone tries to misuse your brand, even if they’re far away.
-
Others Can Legally Use Your Brand Name
Without a trademark, anyone—even competitors—can use your name or logo. They could confuse your customers or harm your reputation, and you’d have little power to stop them. -
You Might Be Forced to Change Your Brand
If someone else trademarks your name or logo first, you could be forced into an expensive, time-consuming rebrand, leaving customers wondering if you’re the same trusted business. -
Damaged Reputation Due to Copycats
Without a trademark, copycats can easily mislead your customers. They can offer poor services under your name, damaging your hard-earned reputation and driving customers away. -
Limited Legal Options to Defend Your Business
Without a registered trademark, protecting your brand becomes a lot harder. You won’t have the legal tools you need to stop others from copying or harming your business’s reputation. -
Missed Opportunities for Growth
Investors, partners, and even potential clients see trademarked brands as more stable, trusted, and valuable. Without a trademark, you miss out on these growth opportunities and risk being seen as less credible.
Trademarked vs NOT Trademarked
What can I trademark?
You can trademark names, logos, slogans, and even unique product shapes or sounds that distinguish your brand. If it sets your business apart, it may be eligible for trademark protection.
Why should I trademark my brand?
Trademarking protects your brand from being copied, helps build customer trust, and strengthens your brand’s value as your business grows. It’s an essential step in securing your business’s identity.
How long does the trademark process take?
The full process can take anywhere from 8 to 12+ months, depending on factors like USPTO review times and any office actions that arise. We guide you through each stage to keep the process as smooth as possible.
