How long does the trademark application process take?
What is an Office Action and how do I respond?
An Office Action is a formal letter from the USPTO raising concerns about your application—like similarity to another mark or vague descriptions. You have a limited time to respond (usually 3 or 6 months), and an attorney can help craft a strong legal reply to keep your application alive.
Can I apply if I haven’t started using my trademark yet?
Trademark Clearance & Search
Before we file, we thoroughly check the USPTO registry—and optionally common‑law sources—to make sure your mark is unique and not likely to cause confusion with existing marks.
Preparing & Filing Your Application
With either use-in-commerce or intent-to-use basis, we complete the application—covering the correct form, description of goods/services, and specimens or logo art—then file electronically. You’ll receive your application number instantly.
USPTO Review & Possible Office Action
About 5–6 months after filing, a USPTO examiner reviews the application. If everything is in order, your mark heads to publication. If they raise concerns, like similarity to existing marks or unclear descriptions, we draft and file a tailored response within the deadline to keep things moving.
Publication & Opposition Period
Once approved by the examiner, your mark is published in the USPTO’s Official Gazette for a 30-day “opposition” window. During this time, third parties can challenge your mark. If there are any complaints, we manage the response and represent you during this period.
Notice of Allowance or Registration
If filed on intent-to-use (1B), you’ll receive a Notice of Allowance, triggering a 6-month deadline to submit proof of your actual use in commerce—or request an extension. If already in commerce (1A), you’ll get your federal registration shortly after publication—cementing protection across the U.S.
