Why Run a Search for Similar Marks?

Before spending your time and money filing an application, you should do a search to see if your mark is already in use or registered by someone else. A search will help avoid obvious duplications of pre-existing marks. If the USPTO rejects your application, the fees to Trademark Registration USA and the USPTO are not refundable. If your company is just beginning, it’s better to make name changes now rather than invest in building a brand only to learn that you have to change the name and lose all of your goodwill. All packages include a free, federal direct-hit search. We also offer more comprehensive searches, including wider federal, state, common law, and global searches. We ensure your application file with the USPTO without any hindrance.

• What is a trademark?

  A trademark protects the specific, unique name, logo, and symbols pertaining to your products or business brand. Trademark protection may apply to business names, symbols, logos, sounds, and even colors that are emblematic of one specific brand. Once registered, a registrant can typically start using the ® symbol after the name, logo or slogan.

• What do you mean by unique symbols?

  Think of the red-orange Reese’s peanut butter cup packaging – that specific orange color is trademarked. Think of the bite-marked fruit associated with Apple computers; that specific symbol is trademarked. Both the distinctive orange color and the familiar Apple logo create immediate brand and product recognition for consumers.

• Why is trademark registration important?

  Trademarking is an important step for protecting your brand identity. It will stop competitors from poaching your customers by imitating your brand. It can also offer you some protection if those copycats do something reputation-damaging.

• Why should I get a trademark?

  Federal trademarks provide legal protection for your brand in the entire United States and help guard against counterfeiting and fraud.

  Ward Off Copycats
  You will have exclusive rights to the names, slogans, and logos of your brand.

  Bulletproof Your Intellectual Property
  Protect your brand identity and make it easier to sue your competitors who steal your ideas.

  Save Your Time & Money
  Save yourself from the hassle of expensive redesigns after finding out you’re violating existing trademarks.

  ® Trademark Registration Symbol
  Once you register your trademark, you can use the ® trademark registration symbol which tells others to back off your brand, and makes your brand look more credible.

  Everlasting Investment
  Trademarks last forever, as long as you are still using it and file your maintenance documents.

• Who can qualify for trademark registration?

  Any person that claims to be a proprietor of a mark or is proposing to own the idea can apply for trademark registration. The application should clearly state the trademark, the services or goods, the address and name of the application and the period of use of the mark with a signature.

• When should I consider trademark protection for my brand?

  If you’re introducing a new brand identity or planning on offering newly branded services or products, you should take the necessary steps to protect your business from copy-cats and competitors.

• What could I do if my trademark is already in use?

  You can easily stop someone from using your trademark if you can prove that you were the first user of the trademark and that both names are bound to create confusion among consumers.

  Of course, the Federal Registration will have a better mechanism to stop infringers. You will also have common legal rights to stop them while you conduct legal business.

• Do I need an attorney to file my trademark application?

  No, if you’re a U.S. citizen, you don’t need an attorney to file your trademark application. However, given the high rejection rate, office actions, and limited number of attempts available, it’s highly recommended that you hire professionals to prepare your application.

  A trademark expert takes care of your application just like an attorney – only without costing you an arm and a leg.

  But, if you are a foreign-domiciled trademark applicant, you must be represented at the USPTO by an attorney who is licensed to practice law in the United States.

• Are you a legal firm?

  No, we are not a legal firm, and we do not offer legal advice. However, our professional team of trademark registration experts have helped over 50,000+ business owners register their trademark.

  They know the ins and outs of trademark registration, and know exactly how to maximize your chances of getting the trademark registered.

• How long will it take for my mark to register?

  The total time for an application to be processed may be anywhere from six months to several years, depending on the basis for filing and the legal issues that may arise in the examination of the application.

• Is registration of my mark guaranteed?

  No. The examining attorney will review the application and may issue refusals based on the Trademark Act of 1946, 15 U.S.C. §1051 et seq., or the Trademark Rules of Practice, 37 C.F.R. Part 2.

  This is why we have a team of trademark registration experts who have helped 10,000+ clients get their trademarks registered. We dot the I's and cross the T’s to maximize your chances of success.
