If you're a new brand preparing to launch a product or service, our intent to use application service is tailored to meet your specific needs. An intent to use application allows you to secure your trademark rights before you start using it in commerce. By filing an intent to use application, you can reserve the trademark for up to three years, providing you with ample time to develop your brand strategy, build awareness, and ensure your trademark is protected from potential infringement.
Securing Your Brand in 4 Simple Steps
1. Comprehensive Trademark Search
We use Markify, a professional-grade search software, to thoroughly search federal and state trademark databases, common law usage, and other relevant sources. This helps us identify existing trademarks that may conflict with your proposed trademark. After analyzing the results, we provide a detailed report outlining any potential conflicts and legal risks associated with your proposed trademark.
2. Attorney Consultation Call
After the search, we will provide you with customized recommendations for moving forward. You can schedule a telephone consultation to review the results and answer any other questions you may have in relation to your trademark application. If any issues were discovered during the search, we'll work with you to find a solution including a complimentary second search on a new mark.
3. File Trademark Application
Once we've cleared your mark, we'll prepare your application. After you’ve given your application a final review and approval, we will file it with the United States Patent and Trademark Office. At this time, you will pay the filing fee of $350 per class of goods/services to the U.S. Government.
4. Navigate Examination Process
After your federal trademark application is submitted to the USPTO, we’ll track it through the USPTO’s trademark examination process, leaving you to focus on the day-to-day needs of your business. If any non-substantive Office Actions arise, we'll respond to them on your behalf. You'll be alerted if any substantive issues come up and we'll strategize how to overcome them.

FAQs
-
Federal trademark registration is the process of registering a name, logo, slogan, or other source identifier with the United States Patent and Trademark Office. A federal registration can provide important legal benefits, including a nationwide presumption of ownership and the exclusive right to use the mark in connection with the goods or services listed in the registration.
Registration can also make it easier to enforce your rights, discourage others from adopting similar marks, and protect your brand as your business grows.
-
You are not required to register a trademark to begin using it. In the United States, you may develop limited trademark rights simply by using a mark in connection with your goods or services. These rights, however, are generally tied to the geographic area in which the mark is actually used and recognized.
Federal registration can provide broader protection and additional tools for enforcing your rights. Whether registration makes sense for you depends on your mark, your business, and how you plan to use and grow the brand.
-
It is generally best to consider trademark registration before making a significant investment in a new name, logo, product, or service. Filing early may help you identify potential problems and establish an earlier application date.
You do not necessarily have to wait until your business launches. If you have a genuine intention to use the mark but have not started using it in commerce, you may be eligible to file an intent-to-use application.
-
Yes. An intent-to-use application allows you to apply based on a genuine intention to use the mark in commerce in the future. This option can be helpful when you have selected a name or logo and are actively preparing to launch, but your goods or services are not yet available to customers.
Before the mark can register, you must begin using it in commerce and submit acceptable evidence of that use to the USPTO. Additional filings and government fees are required. Extensions may be available if you need more time to launch.
-
A standard character application protects the wording of your mark without limiting the registration to a particular font, color, or design. A logo application protects the specific design elements shown in the application.
If both the name and the logo are important parts of your brand, separate applications may provide broader protection. The right approach depends on how you use the mark, which elements are most valuable to your business, and your available budget.
-
The process typically begins by identifying the mark, its proper owner, the goods or services it represents, and the appropriate filing basis. A trademark search may also be conducted to evaluate potential conflicts and other registration concerns.
Once the application is prepared, you will have an opportunity to review and approve it before it is filed with the USPTO. The USPTO will then assign the application to an examining attorney, who will determine whether it meets the requirements for federal registration. Depending on what happens during examination, the application may proceed to publication, receive an Office Action, or require additional filings.
-
Trademark registration is not immediate and often takes a year or longer. The timing depends on current USPTO processing times, the type of application filed, and whether any legal or procedural issues arise during examination.
Intent-to-use applications generally take longer because the mark cannot register until you begin using it in commerce and submit the required evidence. Office Actions, oppositions, and requests for additional time can also extend the process.
If you partner with us for your search and clearance, we will work with you to develop a strategy to overcome this hurdle and will conduct a complimentary back-up search on an alternate trademark.
-
Yes. You are not required to hire an attorney to file a trademark application if you are based in the United States. The USPTO provides resources for applicants who choose to handle the process themselves.
Working with a trademark attorney can be valuable when you want legal guidance tailored to your particular brand and goals. An attorney can help you evaluate ownership, filing strategy, the description and classification of your goods or services, and the evidence needed to support your application. These decisions can affect both the application and the scope of any resulting registration.
-
Unfortunately, there are no guarantees when it comes to trademark registration. The USPTO independently reviews every application, and a third party may oppose an application if it believes registration would harm its existing rights.
Working with an attorney and conducting an appropriate trademark search can help identify potential concerns and reduce avoidable filing errors, but neither can guarantee that an application will register. If an issue arises, we will explain what it means and help you evaluate your available options.
