We will provide you with a personalized trademark search. The search report will cover US Federal Trademark Register records on file with the United States Patent and Trademark Office, State trademark data and common law trademarks. They include all active applications and registrations in the USPTO and state databases, as well as inactive USPTO and state applications and registrations. The report is designed to uncover federal and state trademark filings or common law names which have the potential to conflict with the requested trademark and goods/services. We always recommend getting a trademark search BEFORE filing for a trademark.

The Trademark Search review is a written report from a trademark attorney that will discuss the results of your trademark search and provide a recommendation on whether or not you should proceed with the registration of the trademark. The written report you receive will include an analysis of the trademark search, discuss any potential conflicting trademarks and our recommendation on whether you should file for a trademark. The Trademark Search Review is included when you bundle.

What is a trademark or service mark? A trademark is a word, name, symbol, phrase or logo that identifies or distinguishes goods or products used in trade from one party to another. A service mark is identical to a trademark. The only difference is that a service mark is used to identify or distinguish a service used in trade, rather than goods or products. When you trademark a certain word, name, symbol, phrase or logo, you are claiming rights to that particular mark. Once your trademark is federally-registered, you have the exclusive right to use that mark in commerce in connection with the goods/services you file your trademark under. Filing a trademark with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) offers nationwide protection. Use our online filing system to file a trademark for your business name, logo, tag line, product name or anything else you want. We make it incredibly easy to file your trademark. All you need to do is fill in our online form with your business or personal information and information about the trademark you'd like to file. Our form takes you through step-by-step. Once you submit the form and pay for your trademark, we will file it online with the USPTO and send you a receipt and serial number. We will add your new trademark to our docket, continue to monitor it and provide you with status updates free of charge. If any additional filings or responses are needed, we will inform you immediately. $625 per trademark/class plus filing fees ($250 to $350 depending on the class). Note: There may be additional charges if your trademark requires any additional filings or responses.

An Office Action is a letter from the USPTO notifying a trademark applicant that there are issues with the trademark application. For example, your trademark might get refused for being too similar to a competing product, or it might get refused as being "merely descriptive" of the goods or services that you provide under your mark. Beertrademark.com will let you know if/when an Office Action is received and can also assist you with an appropriate response to the Office Action. If you do not file a response to the Office Action, your trademark application will go abandoned, and you will lose your trademark rights. The type of Office Action your trademark has received will determine the price we charge. Office Actions range from $50 (for a simple issue) to S600+ depending on what type of arguments we need to make. Ask us for a more personalized quote.

Your trademarks need to be renewed with the USPTO between the 5th and 6th year after registration and then every 10 years. After the 5th year, in addition to filing a renewal, you can also file a "declaration of incontestability." We recommend this because an incontestable mark is immune from challenge except if it has become the generic term for the goods or abandoned for nonuse, or if the registration was acquired under fraudulent conditions. In order to file any trademark renewal, you need to show that you are still using the mark in commerce. We will need you to provide a photo (or screenshot if it is a service mark) showing that you are still using the trademark name as it was originally filed. Here is the total pricing for trademark renewal filings: 5-6 year Renewal $575 total ($350 legal fcc and $225 filing fcc) 5-6 year Renewal with Incontestability (recommended) $775 total ($350 legal fee and $425 filing fee) 10-year Renewal $875 total ($350 legal fee and $525 filing fee)

If your Intent to Use trademark (a trademark application filed before you began using it) has received a Notice of Allowance and you aren't using the name in commerce yet, you will need to file an Extension. This gives you 6 more months from the due date (6 months after the Notice of Allowance date) to use the trademark and file a Statement of Use (See Statement of Use). You can file up to five 6-month extensions. Please note that no matter which day you file the extension, you still have 6 months from the due date to file an extension, so there is no need to wait until the due date to file an extension. It won't give you more time. $325 total ($200 legal fee and $125 filing fee).

If you have filed an Intent to Use trademark (i.e. you filed a trademark application before you began using it), and are now using it in commerce, you are required to file a Statement of Use with the USPTO. You will need to show the USPTO that you are using the name in commerce in conjunction with the goods/services that you filed the trademark under. Typically a photo (or screen shot if it is a service mark) clearly showing the trademark name being used with goods/services will work. You will also need to provide a date of first use. This is the date that you first used the name in commerce. $400 total ($300 legal fee and $100 filing fee).
