Best for

Client responsibilities
- Provide the exact mark, logo files, and the goods or services it will be used on.
- Confirm the date of first use in commerce, if any.
- Review and approve the application before filing.
Assumptions
- One mark in one class. Additional classes are quoted per class.
- One business entity as applicant.

- No material adverse facts discovered after engagement.
Scope-change triggers

Deliverables
Written clearance report and the filed trademark application with its USPTO serial number.
Typical timing
Typically 1–2 weeks to filing.
Watch out for
The biggest risk is building a brand around a name you never cleared. Rebranding after launch costs far more than a search before it.
What usually comes next
Clients who start with a trademark filing often return for portfolio monitoring, international filing, or an office-action response, and many add patent or contract work as the product grows.
