Trademark Registration
Basic Steps to filing with the Trademark Office.

Lee Wilson, The Trademark Guide

Steps for a Trademark Registration or service mark application:

1) If you have done a trademark search and found that there are no conflicting 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 Trademark Registration 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.
