Your trademark

Start by telling us what kind of trademark you want to protect.

What kind of trademark is it? Not sure? Choose the closest option. We confirm the right approach during review.

The applicant

The applicant is the legal owner of the trademark. That may be you personally or your company.

Who owns the trademark?
Use of the trademark

The answer here decides how the application is filed.

Have you started using the trademark?

You can file before you start using the trademark, under intent-to-use. Here is what that costs:

  • Filing the application: $1,200 attorney fee, plus the USPTO filing fee of $350 per class.
  • Statement of Use: once the USPTO allows the application and you have started using the trademark, a Statement of Use must be filed. That costs $500, plus $150 per class.
  • Extensions: if you need more time to start using the trademark, extensions are available for an additional fee.

We explain the steps and confirm the cost with you before anything is filed.

No problem. We work out the right filing approach with you during attorney review.
Goods and services

Describe what you do in plain language. We choose the official wording and the class for the application.

Do you sell or provide these today?
Show us the trademark in use

Give us the web page where the trademark appears with your goods or services, upload photos or screenshots, or do both. One or the other is enough. Good examples are a product, its packaging or label, a web page where customers can order, or an ad for your service. Mockups and computer-made renderings usually are not accepted by the USPTO.

Uploads can total up to 8 MB.

Process

What happens after you submit.

  1. You tell us about your trademark

    You complete the application above. It takes only the information the USPTO needs to evaluate your mark.

  2. An attorney reviews it

    Your information is reviewed by a trademark attorney at Kimball Anderson, who identifies anything missing and determines the right filing approach. If it is useful, we also discuss a clearance search.

  3. We prepare the application

    We identify the correct goods and services and class, choose the filing basis, and draft the application around your business.

  4. You review and approve it

    Nothing goes to the USPTO without your sign-off. You see the completed application and can ask questions first.

  5. Fees are paid, then we file and monitor

    Once the USPTO filing fee is paid and you confirm the information is correct, we file, send you a copy, and monitor the application through to registration.

Scope

What the flat fee covers, and what it does not.

Included

  • Review of your proposed trademark
  • Identification of the goods and services covered
  • Preparation of the application
  • Your review of the completed application before filing
  • Filing with the USPTO
  • Confirmation and a copy of the filed application
  • Monitoring from filing through registration

Not included

  • A substantive response to an Office Action
  • A third-party opposition

If either comes up, we explain what is needed and agree on a fee before doing the work.

Questions

Frequently asked questions

How much does this cost?

Our fees are listed in the pricing section of the main site. The attorney fee is a flat fee, and the USPTO charges its own filing fee per class of goods or services. Most applications cover one class, and we tell you upfront if yours needs more.

Who prepares and files the application?

Jeff Lillywhite, Partner at Kimball Anderson, is your point of contact from the first review through filing. Kimball Anderson provides the legal representation on your application from filing through registration.

What happens after I submit the application form?

A trademark attorney reviews what you submitted, identifies any missing information, and follows up with you. Nothing is filed with the USPTO until you have reviewed and approved the completed application and the USPTO filing fee has been paid.

Does the flat fee guarantee my trademark will register?

No. The fee covers preparing and filing a well-built application. Filing does not guarantee registration. The USPTO examines every application, and some require additional legal work afterward.

What happens if the USPTO issues an Office Action, or someone opposes my application?

We review it with you either way. A substantive response to an Office Action, or defending against a third-party opposition, is not part of the flat fee. We quote that work separately before doing it, so you are never left to figure it out on your own.

Can you check whether my trademark is available before I file?

Yes. A clearance search can be done before filing, and it is worth it if you are about to invest heavily in a new or important brand. Raise it on your consultation or in the notes on the application form. For a quick first look, try the free common-law trademark search, which finds businesses and brands already using a name on the web.

What if I am not using my trademark yet?

The same flat fee applies whether you are already using the mark or you file under intent-to-use before you start. Intent-to-use applications incur additional costs later: once the USPTO allows the application, a Statement of Use has to be filed, which carries its own fees, and if you need more time to file it, extensions are available for an additional fee. Current pricing is on the main site.

How long does registration take?

Filing is only the start. Once submitted, the application goes through USPTO examination. The timeline depends on the USPTO's queue and whether any issues come up. It is not immediate.
