Frequently Asked Questions
Do I really need a trademark?
If you want to protect your brand name, logo, or slogan from being used by others, then yes! A registered trademark gives you exclusive rights to your brand and helps prevent legal disputes down the road.
How do I know if my brand name is available?
Before filing, we conduct a comprehensive trademark search to check if your name is already taken or if there are similar trademarks that could cause issues. This step helps avoid costly mistakes.
What if someone else is already using my business name?
It depends. If they don’t have a registered trademark, you might still be able to claim it. If they do, we’ll help you explore your options—whether that’s tweaking your brand name or finding a legal way to move forward.
When is the best time to file a trademark?
The sooner, the better! Filing before you launch helps you secure your rights early. But if you’ve already started your business, it’s still important to trademark as soon as possible to avoid losing your name to someone else.
How long does the trademark process take?
On average, it takes 12-15 months for the USPTO to approve a trademark. But don’t worry—we handle all the legal steps and keep you updated along the way.
Can I file a trademark on my own?
Yes, but the process is complex, and mistakes can lead to delays or even rejections. We take care of everything—searching, filing, and handling any legal challenges—so you don’t have to worry.
What happens if someone tries to use my trademark?
Yes! You can file based on your intent to use the trademark in the future, giving you priority over others who might try to claim it.
How do I get started?
Easy! Just schedule a consultation, and we’ll walk you through the next steps.
