• First, choose a qualified U.S. trademark attorney.
• Second, start your preliminary trademark application.  Tell us the mark and the goods/services to protect. If you are currently utilizing the mark, one of our attorneys will help you show the USPTO how you’re using the mark in commerce. This pre-filing application provides important information for the official trademark application. Please note that the assigned attorney may require additional information to complete the official U.S.P.T.O application.
• Third, a qualified U.S. trademark attorney will contact you. The attorney will speak with you to understand your needs and to complete your application. For instance, if you are planning to use the mark, our qualified U.S. attorneys will explain what specimens (demonstration of how you’re using the mark in commerce) are acceptable. If you choose, the attorney may complete a trademark search on your behalf. Further, this will be the time where a fee for filing the trademark application will be required (fees range from $225-$400 for each applied for class). Please note that a filing fee is required by the U.S.P.T.O and the attorney will charge their own fee for their expert trademark advice (please review fees before selecting a qualified attorney). 
• The trademark attorney will do the hard work and assist you through the process of obtaining your trademark. Some U.S. trademark applications may move forward to the first phase of the trademark process, which is publication, without any issue. Some trademark applications may receive an office action. Please note that this latter process may be costly. An expert U.S. trademark attorney can advise you accordingly.
• Please note the U.S.P.T.O generally reviews an incoming trademark application within three (3) months. If there are no intervening issues, and you are currently using your mark, please expect a trademark within six-nine (6-9) months.
• Companies who are not currently using their marks in commerce may have to utilize important strategy to match their business goals/objectives and desires. Intent to use applicants will be required to provide a statement of use later in the trademark application process. This strategy should be orchestrated by your qualified trademark attorney.
