| Step 2: File a Trademark
filing with the Federal Trademark Office.
"Satisfying the complicated requirements imposed by the Trademark Office is not easy, and filing without the help of a trademark lawyer is likely to result in the rejection of the application." Lee Wilson, The Trademark Guide
Steps for a federal trademark or service mark application:
- If you have done a trademark search and found that there are no conflicting trademarks in your industry, have an attorney file a trademark application for your name, brand or logo.
- Once the attorney has completed the federal application, the application will be sent to you to sign and forward to the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office (USPTO). You will need to include a check for $335 to the USPTO as a trademark application fee.
- A trademark examining attorney at the USPTO will then reply to the application with any formal objections.
- If there are no unresolved objections, the trademark will be issued. While waiting for the trademark, you may list your name with the ™ logo beside it.
