Trademark Search
& Application Prep.
We conduct a preliminary knockout search to identify obvious conflicts, then prepare and coordinate your USPTO trademark application. Document preparation and submission coordination only — not legal advice or legal representation.
$499 service fee.
USPTO fees billed separately.
USPTO charges a per-class application fee ($250–$350 per class depending on application type). These are government fees passed through at cost on a separate line item.

USPTO TEAS Plus: ~$250/class. TEAS Standard: ~$350/class. Most word marks in one class use TEAS Plus. Government fees are passed through at cost — not marked up.
From search to submission.
We search the USPTO's TESS database and common-law sources to identify marks that are identical or confusingly similar to yours in the same or related classes. Obvious conflicts are flagged before you pay a filing fee. Note: this is not a comprehensive legal clearance — a trademark attorney can provide a full opinion.
We prepare your USPTO application (TEAS Plus or TEAS Standard), including mark description, goods/services identification, international class selection, applicant information, and basis (use in commerce or intent to use). We also guide you on specimen requirements if you're filing based on current use.
We coordinate filing via the USPTO TEAS portal and deliver the serial number and filing receipt to your document vault. The mark enters the examination queue — typical USPTO review is 8–12 months from filing date.
USPTO will examine the application and may issue an Office Action requesting clarification or refusing registration. Responding to Office Actions is legal work — members who receive an Office Action are directed to retain a licensed trademark attorney for the response. We can refer you to our referral network if needed.
