Office Action Response:
Crafting a comprehensive response to USPTO Office Actions.

An Office Action Response is a crucial step in the patent or trademark application process where you address concerns or objections raised by the examiner. When you receive an Office Action, it means the examining authority has identified issues or requires additional information about your application. Responding promptly and thoroughly to these issues is essential to keep your application on track. Your response should address each point raised in the Office Action, providing necessary clarifications or amendments to meet the legal requirements and advance the application towards approval.

General questions

Frequently Asked Question.

  • Q: What is a trademark?

    A trademark is a recognizable sign, design, or expression which identifies products or services of a particular source from those of others. They give trademark owners the exclusive right to use the mark and prevent others from using a similar one. Examples of trademarks include brand names, slogans, and logos.

  • Q: What is a trademark, and why do I need one?

    A trademark is a symbol, word, or phrase legally registered to represent a company or product. It protects your brand from unauthorized use and helps distinguish your business from competitors.

  • Q: Do I need a trademark if I have an LLC?

    Yes, an LLC and a trademark serve different purposes. An LLC protects your business structure and limits liability, while a trademark protects your brand name, logo, or slogan from being used by others.

  • Q: What is trademark classification, and how many classifications should I file in?

    Trademark classification categorizes goods or services into specific groups. The number of classifications you need depends on the scope of your business. For example, a clothing brand might file under Class 25 (clothing), Class 35 (retail services), and a third classification for imprinting services on merchandise.

  • Q: How long does it take to register a trademark?

    On average, the trademark registration process can take 10 to 15 months, depending on the complexity of the application and if there are any issues or opposition.

  • Q: What’s the difference between a ™ and a ® symbol?

    The ™ symbol can be used with a brand name or logo that has not yet been officially registered. The ® symbol is used only after your trademark is successfully registered with the USPTO.

  • Q: How much does it cost to register a trademark?

    The filing fee is $350 per classification, and our service fees vary based on the package you select. Additional services, such as trademark monitoring or private registration, may have added costs.

  • Q: Can I trademark a logo, slogan, or business name?

    Yes, you can trademark all of these. Logos, slogans, and business names that are unique to your brand and distinguish it from others are eligible for trademark protection.

  • Q: What happens if someone opposes my trademark?

    If someone opposes your trademark, you'll receive a notice, and the issue will need to be resolved before your registration can proceed. We can assist in responding to oppositions.

  • Q: Can I register my trademark internationally?
