Trademark Registration

Protect Your Brand with Federal Trademark Registration

Your trademark is one of your most valuable business assets. It distinguishes your goods and services from competitors and builds the foundation of your brand identity. At Mark UP Legal, we provide comprehensive trademark registration services that protect your brand name, logo, slogan, and other identifiers with the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

What Can Be Trademarked?

• Business names and brand names
• Product names and product lines
• Logos and design marks
• Slogans and taglines
• Domain names (in certain circumstances)
• Sounds, colors, and product packaging (trade dress)
• Combination marks (text and design together)

Benefits of Federal Registration

• Nationwide legal presumption of ownership and exclusive right to use
• Public notice of your claim, deterring others from adopting similar marks
• The right to use the federal registration symbol (®)
• Ability to file infringement lawsuits in federal court
• Eligibility for treble damages and attorney's fees in infringement cases
• U.S. registration as basis for international trademark protection
• Right to record with U.S. Customs to block infringing imports

Our 5-Step Registration Process

Step 1: We conduct a thorough search of the USPTO database, state registries, and common law sources to identify potential conflicts with your desired mark.

Step 2: Our attorneys prepare your application with precision, selecting the appropriate filing basis, identifying correct goods/services classifications, and crafting descriptions to maximize protection.

Step 3: We file your trademark application electronically with the USPTO and provide your serial number and filing confirmation.

Step 4: After filing, a USPTO examining attorney reviews your application. If any office actions arise, our attorneys prepare thorough responses to overcome objections.

Step 5: Once approved, your mark is published for opposition. If no one opposes within 30 days, your trademark proceeds to registration.
