We have worked with more than 1,000 trademark application clients, which has allowed us to make our process quick and efficient. If you check out our reviews from former clients, you’ll see them raving about our efficient service.

Here’s a quick overview of how it works. For more detailed information about our trademark application process, please CLICK HERE and go to FAQ #2.

1. Get informed: We have a full FAQ with detailed legal information you need to know before you start working with us. Reading through this entire FAQ will help you provide us with exactly the information we need, which will make your application process move quickly. We touch on a few of these FAQs here, but not in as much detail as you’ll find in the full FAQ, so make sure to read through the entire thing.

2. Get in touch: Once you’ve read and understood our FAQ, please get in touch to start your application by submitting our contact form. The contact form isn’t a contract—filling it out does not obligate you to work with our firm. But we require the basic background information from the questionnaire before you can get input from an attorney.

3. Fill out the questionnaire: Our questionnaire is the key to our efficient process. This form allows us to gather all the background information we need to provide personalized advice on fees and next steps for your unique situation. All of the advice your attorney provides will be based on the basic information in this questionnaire, so make sure to provide complete, detailed responses.

4. Check your email: After receiving your questionnaire, an attorney from our trademark applications team will reach out to you within 3 business days. Your flat fee for trademark services includes email communications only, so please check your email after filling out the questionnaire so we can get started quickly.

5. Work with your attorney: You and your attorney will collaborate over email to decide on your trademark application strategy and discuss any remaining questions you may have. Aside from answering our emails, you’ll get to focus on other things while we work to get your application filed—our goal is to save you time!

6. Sign & Pay: Your attorney will outline your application, and then our office will send you an engagement letter via email with a link to e-sign and pay your invoice online. We accept all major credit cards and ACH/wire transfers. When we receive your signed engagement letter and invoice payment, we will aim to file your trademark application within 3 business days.

7. Filing & reporting: Once the application is filed, we’ll confirm with you that we’ve filed it and provide you with the official application (“serial”) number issued by the USPTO.

8. Sit back and wait for your Trademark Examination. We will continue to monitor the progress of your trademark application at the USPTO. It can be 7-9 months before the trademark office reviews your application and, if approved, an additional 6 – 12 months for the application to register, assuming no problems arose during examination. We will advise you via email of any important developments relating to your application as they occur.

When our clients read the entire FAQ, provide detailed information on our onboarding questionnaire, and respond quickly to our emails, we’re typically able to complete this entire process in less than 1 week!
