| Step 2: File a Trademark
Filing with the U.S. Patent and 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, one of out licensed attorneys specializing in trademark law will prepare the trademark application for your name, brand or logo.
- We will send you the application details for your review and approval within five business days. At that time, we will also advise you of the total cost of your application.
- After we receive your approval, we will file your trademark application with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) and charge your credit card .
- A trademark examining attorney at the USPTO will reply to the application with any questions, requests for clarification or formal objections.
- We will monitor your application and advise you of correspondence received from the USPTO, if any. At that time, we will also advise you or the cost of filing a response, if any.
- If there are no unresolved objections, the trademark will be registered and a certificate of registration will be issued. While awaiting registration of the trademark, you may place the ™ symbol beside your trademark on any products and promotional materials.
