Questions

Questions, answered.

01What is a trademark and why do I need one?

A trademark is a word, phrase, symbol, or design that identifies and distinguishes your goods or services from those of others. Registering a trademark provides legal protection against infringement, gives you exclusive nationwide rights to use the mark, and helps build brand recognition and value. Without registration, your rights are limited to the geographic areas where you actively use the mark.

02How long does the trademark registration process take?

The USPTO trademark registration process typically takes 12-18 months from filing to registration, assuming no issues arise. The timeline includes initial review (2-3 months), publication for opposition (30 days), and final registration. If the USPTO issues an Office Action or a third party opposes your mark, the process can take longer.

03What is the difference between a Nationwide and Global search?

A Nationwide search covers all 50 U.S. states, federal trademark registrations, and common law sources within the United States. A Global search includes everything in the Nationwide search plus international trademark databases from countries worldwide. We recommend the Global search if you plan to expand internationally or if your industry has significant international competition.

04What happens if my trademark application is rejected?

If the USPTO issues an Office Action (a formal rejection or request for clarification), you have six months to respond. Common issues include likelihood of confusion with existing marks, descriptiveness concerns, or technical filing errors. Our Office Action Response service includes a strategy consultation to evaluate your options and prepare a compelling response.

05How long does a trademark last?

A registered trademark can last indefinitely, but it requires maintenance filings. You must file a Declaration of Use (Section 8) between the 5th and 6th year after registration, and then file combined Section 8 and Section 9 renewals every 10 years. Our renewal service handles all these filings to keep your trademark protection active.

06What is a Statement of Use (SOU)?

A Statement of Use is required if you filed your trademark application on an "intent-to-use" basis before actually using the mark in commerce. Once the USPTO issues a Notice of Allowance, you have six months (with extensions available) to submit the SOU with proof that you are now using the trademark in connection with your goods or services.

07Do I need to hire an attorney for trademark registration?

While not legally required, working with a trademark attorney significantly improves your chances of successful registration. An attorney can conduct comprehensive searches, identify potential conflicts, properly classify your goods/services, and handle any issues that arise during examination. Statistics show that applications filed by attorneys have higher approval rates.

08What are the government filing fees?

USPTO filing fees are separate from our professional fees. The current USPTO filing fee is $250-$350 per class of goods/services, depending on the filing basis. Additional fees apply for extensions, office action responses, and renewals. We provide transparent quotes that clearly separate our fees from government fees.
