Trademark Registration
We help you prepare, review, and submit a federal trademark application for a brand name, slogan, logo, product, or service mark. Our workflow is built for founders and businesses without a legal background.
What we prepare for you
A federal trademark application has several parts. We help you prepare each one, review it for common issues, and submit it to the USPTO.
- Owner information (individual, company, or LLC)
- Filing basis (use in commerce or intent-to-use)
- Goods and services description (proper ID manual wording)
- International class selection
- Specimen of use (for use-based filings)
- Signature and declaration
Filing basis: use vs. intent-to-use
If you are already using the mark in commerce, you file under Section 1(a) Use in Commerce. You must include a specimen showing how the mark is used.
If you have not yet used the mark but have a bona fide intention to, you file under Section 1(b) Intent to Use. After filing, you must submit a Statement of Use once the mark is actually used.
What happens after filing
After we submit your application, the USPTO assigns a serial number and an examining attorney reviews it. Timelines vary, but initial examination commonly takes several months.
- Filing receipt serial number issued
- USPTO examination 5 to 7 months typical
- Office action response (if required)
- Publication in the Trademark Official Gazette
- Opposition period (30 days)
- Registration certificate issued
What we do not do
USPT MARK is an independent trademark assistance service not a law firm. We do not provide legal advice, attorney-client privilege, or guarantee registration. Every application is reviewed on its own facts by the USPTO.
