Registering a trademark in the USA can be complex. We simplify this process, ensuring your trademark is both registered and protected against potential violations.
The initiation starts with your detailed request, encompassing the word mark, associated design, target territory, and the mark's current usage status.
Invoicing and Payment:
After data collection, we send an invoice, which initially covers only the trademark search cost.
Phone Consultation:
We schedule a 30-minute call to align our understanding, evaluate the mark's strength, define search parameters, and discuss potential alternatives.
Trademark Search:
Our experts perform a comprehensive global trademark search, including the US and WIPO databases, along with other online resources.
Recommendations:
We provide advice tailored to the search outcomes, suggesting appropriate goods/services classes, potential mark modifications, and the selection between a word or design mark.
Client's Decision:
Armed with our knowledge, you will take the time to make a decision and determine the next steps in choosing the right trademark for you.
Adjusted Invoice:
The invoice may be revised based on your decision. If you opt out, we'll settle any search-related charges.
Application Filing:
With your go-ahead, we submit the trademark applications, sharing our recommended goods and services description beforehand.
Publication and Opposition:
Once approved, the application is published, granting a 30-day window for public objections.
Opposition Handling:
If opposed, the application is reviewed by the Trademark Trial and Appeal Board. We can draft a response, liaise with the opposing party, or assist in submitting a counter-response.
TTAB Proceedings:
Opposition responses initiate TTAB proceedings. If opposition persists, you can either withdraw or engage a specialized TTAB attorney. We're here to represent you.
Registration/Notice of Allowance:
Absent opposition, the USPTO registers in-use trademarks. For future-use marks, a Notice of Allowance (NOA) is granted.
Statement of Use:
For future-use marks, we submit a Statement of Use (SOU) within 6 months of NOA, evidencing the mark's commercial use. Successful submissions lead to registration; otherwise, further filings may be required.
Assignment:
If you transfer a mark or its application, we facilitate the registration of that transfer. We are ready to provide a full range of services to ensure a successful outcome.
