Our full-service trademark package includes a comprehensive clearance search, a legal opinion on registrability, preparation and filing of your application with the USPTO, and monitoring until registration. It also includes responses to all non-substantive Office Actions. If a substantive Office Action is issued, we will respond at no additional charge only if we previously advised that your application had at least a 50% likelihood of approval. Otherwise, substantive responses will be offered as a separate service.

Our flat-fee trademark package starts at $1,850 for one class of goods or services. This includes your search, legal opinion, application filing, and responses to non-substantive Office Actions. If we advised a 50% or greater chance of approval, substantive Office Action responses are also included. If your trademark had less than a 50% chance of approval, any substantive response would not be covered and would require a separate engagement.

Yes. If you filed your trademark on your own or through another service, we offer standalone Office Action response services.

– Non-substantive responses start at $350

– Substantive responses start at $1,250

These are flat-fee services handled by a licensed trademark attorney and include legal review, strategic advice, and preparation of the formal response.

A non-substantive Office Action usually involves simple, administrative fixes—such as disclaimers, formatting issues, minor clarifications, or entity corrections. These are routine and are included in all trademark packages.

A substantive Office Action, however, is a legal refusal—commonly based on: – Likelihood of confusion with another registered trademark – Descriptiveness of the mark in relation to your goods/services – Failure to function as a source-identifying mark

Responding to a substantive Office Action is the equivalent of drafting a legal brief. It often involves 10–30 pages of written legal argument, statutory and case law research, and supporting exhibits such as screenshots, declarations, and third-party evidence. These responses require significant legal analysis and are only included in our trademark package if we originally assessed your chances of approval at 50% or higher.

On average, the trademark registration process takes 8 to 12 months. However, this timeline can be extended if the USPTO issues an Office Action that requires a legal response or if other complications arise during examination.

It’s important to understand that trademark registration is not a simple or automatic process—it is a legal process governed by federal law, and each application is reviewed by a USPTO examining attorney. Delays are common, and responding to refusals or objections can add several months to the timeline. At Lawbrella, we closely monitor your application from start to finish and keep you informed every step of the way.
