Trademark Registration Process

Registering a trademark with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office is not just a matter of clicking some buttons on the USPTO website and submitting a form.  There are several steps and potential twists and turns along the way.  We have created this infographic to show the process for registration of a basic trademark for a product or service that is already in use.  Currently, in the best case scenario, if there are no administrative of substantive issues resulting in an Office Action, the entire process takes about 12-13 months.  Our most popular package involves representing clients from the initial clearance search, all the way through registration.
