Frequently Asked Questions

Why do I need a lawyer for a trademark when online filing tools exist?

82% of DIY trademark applications face Office Action rejections due to incorrect classification or similarity conflicts. We ensure your application is built to withstand USPTO/EUIPO examination and actually enforceable in court.

What happens if someone already registered a similar name?

We conduct a comprehensive clearance search first. If conflicts exist, we advise on brand tweaks, co-existence agreements, or cancellation proceedings against abandoned marks.

How long does a trademark registration last?

Trademarks last indefinitely as long as you continue using the mark in commerce and file required maintenance renewals (e.g., Section 8 & 9 filings in the US between Years 5 and 6).
