File Application with USPTO
Type in your chosen mark and select the classes related to your particular business.
Do not worry at this stage if you are not sure under which classes your trademark should be registered. Our attorneys will ensure that your application is filed in the correct class(es).
As an example: if your business is the supply of washing machine parts, you would select ‘Machinery Products’. Do not worry at this early stage if you are not 100% sure under which classes your trademark should be registered. Once your application is submitted, our attorneys will ensure that your trademark is fully protected for all areas of your business.
Submit your trademark search – our patented software will do a preliminary check of the latest feeds direct from the USPTO database to make sure there are no obvious problems, such as another business already owning that specific trademark for your chosen trademark class or classes.
Comprehensive Legal Check
Specialized Trademark Attorneys Conduct Searches & Provide Legal Opinion
No Objections
Accuracy
After your preliminary search, you will be asked to create a free account, and choose one of the 3 Plans or service packages available. All Plans except the Basic include a full clearance search, with a legal opinion on the availability of the trademark. This search report will also tell you about other marks which may be similar to yours so you can make an informed decision, pay, and place your order. After choosing your Plan, you will be asked to input your credit or debit card details for the full amount of the Plan price, including all service and official fees payable, but if you decide, after reviewing the search results and legal opinion, not to proceed, all amounts charged except the search fee will be refunded.
To proceed with your trademark application, you will be asked to input your credit or debit card details for the full amount of the quote, but if you decide, after reviewing the search results and legal opinion, not to proceed with the application, all amounts charged except the search fee will be refunded.
Before your application is filed, our attorneys will conduct a comprehensive legal check to ensure:
- Your trademark application complies with the US Lanham Trademark Act.
- Your trademark application will not face insurmountable objections from other trademark owners on the grounds of confusing similarity.
- Your goods and services are accurately described.
