Before you print packaging, buy the domain, or pay a designer. Clearance is cheap. A rebrand after you have traction is not.
When the USPTO refuses your application. Most refusals are answerable, but the response window is fixed and missing it abandons the application.
When you expand into a new product category, because your existing registration only covers the classes you actually filed in.
Before an investor or acquirer reviews your brand assets, so ownership and chain of title are clean before anyone looks.

View serviceTrademark questions we get asked
I registered my LLC name with the state. Is that a trademark?
No. Forming an entity reserves a business name in that state’s corporate registry, which is a filing office, not a rights system. It does not stop anyone in another state from using the same mark, and it does not give you the right to stop them. Federal trademark registration is what creates nationwide rights in connection with the goods and services you actually sell.
How long does registration take?
Plan on roughly eight to fourteen months from filing to registration when nothing goes wrong, and longer if the examining attorney issues a refusal. The useful thing is that your rights date back to the filing date once the mark registers, so filing early is worth more than filing quickly.
What is a class, and why does it change the price?
The USPTO sorts goods and services into forty five classes, and both the government fee and the scope of your protection are per class. Software is one class, clothing is another, consulting services are another again. Filing in three classes means three government fees, so class selection is a real budgeting decision and not just paperwork.
Should I register the name and the logo separately?
Usually yes, if the budget allows. A word mark protects the name in any typeface, which is the broader and more durable right. A design mark protects the specific logo. Registering only the combined logo means a competitor can adopt your name in different styling and you have a weaker position against them.
