Begin the process today and file your trademark through Trademark Protection Hub.

Once you submit your application, our legal team conducts a case review and availability search. If we need any additional information, we will reach out by phone or email. In most cases, your application is ready to file within 1-2 business days. Occasionally, the timeline may be extended if client responses take longer or additional clarifications are needed.

Once filed, the USPTO typically takes 6-9 months to issue the registration certificate, provided there are no legal complications with the application.

Registering a trademark generally involves legal preparation fees and federal filing fees. At Trademark Protection Hub, legal preparation for a US trademark begins at $35 plus the federal filing fee of $450 per class. During the government's examination of your application, if legal objections arise from the government or a third party due to potentially conflicting trademarks, there may be an additional fee for an office action response if you would like an attorney to prepare a response on your behalf. Attorney fees for office action responses typically range from $999 to $1,999 depending on the nature and complexity of the issue.

In most cases, no. That said, if the existing mark covers entirely different products or services, registration may still be possible, since the likelihood of consumer confusion would be lower.

A well-known example: Domino Sugar and Domino Pizza have been able to coexist because they offer distinct products in different markets, reducing the risk of consumer confusion.

Yes.

The USPTO limits each application to a single trademark. This means any one application can only cover a name, a logo, or a slogan. A logo application may include text, but in that case the design and the text together are treated as a single trademark. If you want each element protected on its own, you will need to submit two separate applications.

You can initiate the registration process before opening, but the USPTO will not formally register your trademark until you can demonstrate actual use of the mark in commerce. Some business owners launch first to confirm viability before pursuing trademark protection, while others begin the registration process upfront to ensure their brand is secured before they invest significant time and resources building the business.

Trademark classes are essentially categories that correspond to the type of goods and/or services your business provides. The USPTO classification system organizes all goods and services into 45 trademark classes — 34 for goods and 11 for services. Accurately identifying your goods and services is one of the most important parts of the application. If you fail to correctly list the goods and services associated with your mark, your registration may be denied — and no refund will be issued. The class or classes selected must match the goods and services described in the application in order to obtain full trademark protection.
