My practice outside of Illinois is limited to intellectual property matters as I am licensed to represent clients before the United States Patent and Trademark Office (since 1992).

Your Trademark Attorney questions, answered

Answers to commonly asked questions from the experts on Thervo.

How much does it cost to trademark a name or logo?

The cost to trademark a name or logo is $250 or $350 per class of goods and services if you file the application yourself. Hiring a trademark attorney to assist you with the trademark registration process costs $750 to $2,400 per class on average, including the filing fees. Using a trademark service instead of hiring an attorney costs $300 to $750 per class, including the government filing fees.

The United States Patent Office (USPTO) offers two filing options--TEAS Plus and TEAS Standard. TEAS Plus is cheaper at $250 per class but requires all documentation up front. The TEAS Standard costs $350 per class but allows you to submit some of the documentation later.

The total cost to trademark a name or logo depends on the type of application you choose and the number of classes of goods or services you select.

What is the difference between a trademark and a copyright?

  • A trademark protects a name phrase, design, or symbol that identifies a company or brand. Some examples include a company logo, slogan, or brand name.
  • A Copyright protects original artistic, literary, or musical work. Common law protects these works automatically, but it's easier to enforce when the work is registered with the U.S. Copyright Office.

How long does it take to trademark a name or logo?

Registering a federal trademark takes 12 to 18 months on average, depending on your filing basis. The review process alone, once you submit your application, is typically about 4 to 6 months. The USPTO publishes estimated timelines for each filing basis and their current trademark processing wait times on their website.

Processing time for a state trademark varies by state, but they are usually much quicker than federal trademark registration. Many states also offer expedited processing for an extra fee.

How long does a trademark last?

A federal trademark can last indefinitely provided you continue to use it and follow the required maintenance and fee schedule. The initial trademark registration lasts 5 years before the first maintenance documentation is due. You'll need to submit a renewal application, along with other documentation showing your use of the trademark, between the 9th and 10th year, and then every 10 years after that.

How do I choose the best trademark attorney near me?

Registering a trademark is a complicated process with a lot of very specific requirements. Follow these guidelines to help you choose a trademark attorney with the experience and expertise you need:

  • Check out their reviews on Thervo and Google.
  • Hire a lawyer who specializes in trademarks.
  • Verify their credentials and state licensing information.
  • Confirm their office location is nearby or convenient for you.
  • Ask up front about their costs and fee structure.
  • Discuss your needs with them before hiring to make sure your personalities are a good fit.
  • Review all contract terms before signing.

What questions should I ask when hiring a trademark attorney?

Consider asking these questions to help you choose a trademark attorney:

  • How long have you been a trademark attorney?
  • What is your license number?
  • Is your entire practice devoted to trademark services?
  • What potential issues do you see with my application?
  • What is the best way to reach you?
  • Where is your office located?
  • What is included in your trademark service fee?
  • What other services do you offer?
  • Who will be working on my application?
  • What happens if my trademark application is not approved?
  • Do you offer ongoing assistance to keep my trademark active?
