The Right Time to Register Is Now

Trademark priority is based on first use or first filing. Waiting to register your trademark can result in losing rights to a competitor who files first — even if you were using the mark first. We offer flat-fee registration packages including clearance, application, and prosecution through registration.

FAQ — Trademark

How long does USPTO trademark registration take?

USPTO trademark registration currently takes approximately 8–14 months for a straightforward application without office actions. If the examiner issues office actions or if the application is opposed, the process can take longer. We manage the entire process and keep you informed at every step.

Can I trademark my business name?

Yes — business names, logos, taglines, and product names that function as source identifiers can be registered as trademarks. However, purely descriptive terms, geographic terms, and surnames are significantly harder to register. We conduct a clearance search and assess registrability before filing, so you know your strengths and risks upfront.

What is a trademark office action?

A USPTO office action is a letter from the trademark examining attorney raising one or more grounds for refusal — such as likelihood of confusion with an existing mark, descriptiveness concerns, or technical application issues. A response must be submitted within 3 months (extendable to 6 months). Our attorneys handle office action responses with a strong track record of successful outcomes.
