Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between ™ and ®?
The ™ symbol indicates that you claim trademark rights in a mark, but it does not require federal registration. The ® symbol can only be used after your trademark has been officially registered with the USPTO.
How long does trademark registration take?
The typical timeline for USPTO trademark registration is 8-12 months if there are no complications. If office actions or oppositions arise, the process can take 18 months or longer.
Do I need to conduct a trademark search before filing?
While not legally required, we strongly recommend a comprehensive clearance search before filing. A search helps identify potential conflicts that could result in refusal of your application.
What are the USPTO filing fees?
USPTO filing fees are $250 per class using TEAS Plus or $350 per class using TEAS Standard. Additional fees apply for Statements of Use, extensions, and other filings.
Can I trademark a name I'm not using yet?
Yes, you can file an Intent-to-Use (ITU) application before you begin using the mark in commerce. However, you must eventually provide evidence of actual use before the trademark will register.
How long does a trademark registration last?
A federal trademark registration can last indefinitely, but you must file maintenance documents between years 5-6 and renew every 10 years.
