The total amount is $1,850 (includes the $500 “Knock Out Search” fee). Of that amount, $1,500 is payable to our firm, and the remaining $350 is the filing fee charged by the USPTO (the USPTO charges a base $350 filing fee per class of goods or services). Note: The USPTO charges an additional $200 per class if the Trademark ID Manual is not used.
There may be additional fees in certain instances, as explained below. The $1,850 fee is for the registration of a single application under a single class of goods where the description of those goods or services is a USPTO pre-populated description from the USPTO Trademark ID Manual.
A “knock-out search” is a basic search of the USPTO’s public database of registered trademarks, to identify whether there may be any exactly conflicting marks that may prevent the registration of a proposed trademark application.
No. We give you a knock-out search as to one potential mark.
Our firm charges a $500 non-refundable fee per “Knock Out Search”. This fee is included in the $1500 flat fee that the firm receives in the event that we move forward with a filing after evaluating the results of a “Knock Out Search”.
It usually takes less than ten minutes gather all of the necessary information, and the registration can be completed and filed within 1-2 days thereafter.
About 12 months. It’s important to be patient once the trademark application has been filed. After filing, it usually takes about about 6 months for an application to be initially assigned to an attorney examiner at the USPTO. If all goes well, the mark will be published for opposition and then finally registered, assuming no one opposes the registration, and assuming that you timely provide to the USPTO all information that is requested of you.
Yes, of course, but unless you’ve already run a trademark search, determined the exact class under which your mark should be registered, determined the type of application that should be filed, and are familiar with the USPTO’s application process, it likely won’t be worth your time to try and figure out the whole process just to save some money.
