Registered Trademark
Basic Steps to filing a registered trademark.

Lee Wilson, The Trademark Guide

The steps in getting a Registered Trademark:

1) If you have done a trademark search and found that there are no conflicting registered trademarks in your industry, have an attorney file a Trademark Registration form for your name, brand or logo.

2) Once the attorney completes the federal application, the application will be sent to you to sign and forward to the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office (USPTO). You have to include a check for $335 to the USPTO as a Registered Trademark fee.

3) A trademark examining attorney will then reply to the application with any formal objections.

4) Once there are no unresolved objections, the trademark will be issued. While waiting for the trademark, you may list your name with the TM logo next to it.
