Everything Your Brand Needs to Be Legally Secured

We help entrepreneurs, business owners, creators, and organizations secure their brands through trademark registration, trademark maintenance, and other intellectual property services.

Many brand assets can be trademarked, including names, logos, slogans, product names, and in some cases, sounds.
A trademark identifies goods or products, while a service mark identifies services. The registration process is generally the same.

Most trademark applications take about 12 to 18 months to complete, although timelines can vary depending on the application and the USPTO review process.
An Intent-to-Use application allows you to apply for a trademark before you've officially launched, as long as you have a genuine intention to use the mark in the future.
A trademark search helps identify existing trademarks that could create conflicts before an application is filed.
An Office Action is an official letter from the USPTO explaining issues or requesting additional information before your application can move forward.

Our trademark package includes a discovery or onboarding call, preliminary knockout search, attorney opinion letter, consultation, trademark application preparation and filing, applicable USPTO filing fees, and status updates throughout the process.
The cost depends on your specific situation and filing needs. We'll discuss your options during your discovery call.

A trademark can last indefinitely as long as it's actively used and the required maintenance filings are submitted on time.
Yes. Trademark owners must file maintenance documents at specific intervals to keep their registrations active.
Yes. Trademark ownership can generally be assigned or transferred through a written agreement and recorded with the USPTO.
If a trademark is no longer used in commerce for an extended period, you may risk losing your trademark rights.
Certain updates may be possible depending on the type of change. Our team can help determine the appropriate next step.
It depends. Every situation is different, which is why a trademark search and legal review are important before filing.
