Frequently Asked Questions
How much does it cost to trademark a name?
The minimum USPTO filing fee is $250 per class (TEAS Plus) or $350 per class (TEAS Standard). With an attorney, total costs are typically $1,000-$2,000 for a single-class trademark. Self-filing saves on attorney fees but increases the risk of errors and rejections.
How long does trademark registration take?
The typical timeline is 8-12 months from filing to registration if there are no issues. If the USPTO examining attorney raises concerns (office actions), it can take 12-18 months or longer. Intent-to-use applications may take even longer as you need to show actual use.
Do I need a trademark attorney?
While not legally required, the USPTO recommends using a trademark attorney. Applications filed with attorneys have significantly higher success rates. An attorney can conduct proper clearance searches, correctly identify goods/services classes, and handle office actions effectively.
