The initial fixed price fee does not include responses to substantive office actions or oppositions from third parties. While not all applications receive office actions from the USPTO, many do. Additionally, if your application is a 1(b) "Intent to Use" application, you will need to pay an additional USPTO fee ($150 per class as of Jan 2025) when filing the Statement of Use certification later in the process. Other additional fees, though uncommon, may also arise during the application process.

• Absolutely. This is critical and we highly recommend this level of search.

• Your comprehensive search results are analyzed by a licensed attorney, before we recommend moving forward with a trademark filing.

• The comprehensive search includes: federal registry, websites, social media, state registries, various databases, and common law trademarks.

• The search is a predictive tool. Your search result will include an opinion letter as to how likely your trademark application will be met with an office action by the USPTO examining attorney. We do this by assigning a risk factor to your potential application. A "high risk" application is one that we feel has significant impediments and thus will likely be met by at least one substantive office action that will be difficult to overcome. A "low risk" application is one where we believe that no significant impediments exist and that the application should have little issue being approved. Most applications are rated as "medium risk." These are those applications where we believe impediments may exist, but that they more likely than not can be overcome by a solid response to the substantive office action.

• While the search is a valuable predictive tool, it is never a guarantee as the final say as to what impediments exist and whether they can be overcome lie exclusively in the hands of the USPTO attorneys.

Yes, we can help you even if you're outside Illinois! Trademark law is governed by Federal Law, so an attorney licensed in any state can represent clients nationwide. We assist clients from all over the country efficiently through phone calls and email. While in-person meetings aren't necessary, we can arrange video conferences if you prefer a personal touch.

In most cases, you will receive your search report within 7-10 business days of providing the requested information. The trademark application process can take between 13-16 months depending on what additional requests the USPTO examining attorney may make. Keep in mind that as soon as your application is submitted you accrue at least some trademark protection as your mark will now appear in the USPTO database as a pending mark, with protections over any similar later marks that may appear.

No, we cannot guarantee that your trademark will be registered, and no one can. However, opting for our comprehensive search will help you understand potential conflicts and challenges in your application, increasing your chances of success.

No. Because our focus is on helping trademark and service mark owners navigate through the confusing waters of the trademark application process, we concentrate on clients with that need. We do not take cases involving trademark infringement or litigation matters.
