YES. Our attorneys are licensed and in good standing with the State Bar of California.

After a trademark application is filed, a USPTO trademark attorney examins it to determine if it meets certain criteria. The application can be drafted in a way to maximize the chances of being approved by the USPTO.

If approved, the application is then published online and third-parties have an opportunity to object to the trademark’s registration. If no objection is filed, or if the objection is not sustained, then a trademark registration certificate is issued by the USPTO and mailed to the attorney, which is forwarded to the client with future deadlines and information regarding enforcement.

US trademark filing fees depend on 1) the number of classes applied for and 2) whether the USPTO has pre-approved your goods and services. To learn more about the classification of goods and services, read our blog post on trademark classes.

It typically takes a minimum of 7 months for a trademark application to mature into a registration, but it may take 24 months or more.
