Frequently Asked Questions
Here are some common questions we get with regards to trademarking and copyrighting your brand…
How Do I Know if I Need to File for a Federal Trademark?
All businesses have a trademark whether you know it or not. A trademark secures your brand identity. Your brand is how consumers recognize your business in the marketplace. You can trademark your business name, logo, slogans, product packaging, taglines, etc…
You do not have to register in order to have trademark protection. However, in order to protect your brand from the use by others, you should secure a federal trademark. A federal trademark gives you exclusive rights to the trademark and will allow you to enforce your rights in court.
What Is the Process to Get a Trademark?
The trademark application process can take over a year to complete. Utilizing an experienced attorney can help avoid many of the delays associated with the process.
What Are the Classes of Goods and the Fees?
The trademark office issues registrations based on different classes of goods and services. Your trademark package includes the filing fee for one class. Additional classes will require additional filing fees.
How Will I Know if My Brand Is Eligible For a Federal Trademark Registration?
The comprehensive search will provide the level of risk we will face during the application process. If the search reveals that your application will be high-risk, you can choose to have a free re-branding session or request a refund for the amount you paid for your trademark package, minus the search fee ($500).
What Is a Non-Substantive Office Action?
Office Actions can be substantive or non-substantive in nature. Substantive office actions are issued when the Examining Attorney does not think your application should be approved based on legal grounds. A common example here includes a refusal based on a likelihood of confusion with another previously applied for or registered trademark. Another common example is when the Examining Attorney thinks your trademark is merely descriptive and not entitled to trademark protection. A substantive office action requires you to present a detailed legal argument stating why your mark should be allowed to register.
Non-substantive office actions are typically less complicated such as the need to provide some additional information on your application or for clarification purposes.
Do You Offer Payment Plans?
Yes. You may pay for your trademark package in full. Or you may choose a 30 or 60-day payment plan. However, your application process will not begin until all fees are paid in full.
Our Process
Registering your trademark makes your brand official. And with that magnificent Certificate of Registration you can get copycats Fired from Facebook, Gone on the ‘Gram, rouge websites taken-down, and take the issue to court when someone illegally uses your trademark. Why? Because your federal registration will cover and protect you in all states and provide you with the exclusive rights to use your name.
The timeline for a successful registration can take up to a year. Therefore, it is critical that your application be filed sooner than later to give you a priority date. The first to file typically wins the rights to the mark. Additionally, you will want to protect your brand from infringement from other individuals and companies as well. The exposure that your presence in commerce will bring can always lead to others using your name without permission.
