Therefore we strive to clearly identify what is included and what is not included.
Why? Many reasons. First, hopefully you have a list of prospective names you are considering and would like to make an educated decision regarding which one is most likely to be protectable and provide the best scope of protection. Second, realistically it is likely that 70%, or more, of your prospective names will have “issues,” which means that they are unlikely to be protectable or would expose you potential risks. The “Multi-Shot” package allows you to compare the search results of many prospective names so that you can make an educated decision about which one will be best for your business, without having to “strike-out” multiple times using the “Single-Shot” package (and save some of your hard-earned money). What’s the catch? In exchange for the savings, the goods/services must be the same for each search, and this package only includes the 3 “preparation” steps outlined in the “Single-Shot” package for 1 of the 10 prospective marks. To get started simply enter an order for each of the 10 prospective marks within 1 hour, and we will issue a credit card refund for three of the searches within 1 business day.
The USPTO filing fee for a single class;
The USPTO fee for the statement of use associated with an intent to use application (in a single class);
The preparation and filing of up to 5 extensions of time to file a statement of use (it does NOT include the USPTO fees for any necessary extensions since the number of extensions required is in your control, not ours);
The preparation and filing of one response to a substantive office action if necessary;
Ongoing monitoring of the application with the USPTO and updates sent to your inbox;
An electronic copy of your registration certificate along with a guide on the proper use of a registered trademark IF trademark registration is granted; and
Email communication throughout the process to answer questions.
Is this package right for you? It depends. If you use the “Single-Shot” or “Multi-Shot” package to make an educated decision in the selection of a mark on which to pursue trademark registration, then you are most likely to save money utilizing one of those packages because it may be unlikely that a substantive office action response is required. However, if you are worried about the amount of additional costs after the preparation and filing of the application, then this package may provide you with a certain level of comfort. Obviously, no one can ever guarantee that the USPTO will approve your application for a federal trademark, and likewise there is no guarantee that any search will uncover all possible conflicts.
To get started simply enter an order for each of the “Single-Shot” package, let us know in the “notes” section of the order form that you wish to order the “A-Z” package and then we will contact you to cover the cost difference.To get started simply enter an order for each of the “Single-Shot” package, let us know in the “notes” section of the order form that you wish to order the “A-Z” package and then we will contact you to cover the cost difference.
The U.S. Patent and Trademark Office occasionally refuses trademark applications after an initial review by an Examining Attorney. Such refusals entitle the applicant to respond within 6 months of the mailing of the office action/provisional refusal. Non-substantive USPTO office actions may be informal, requiring clarification or amendment of the application in order to place it in proper condition for publication. Informalities include problems with the identification of goods or services, the legal entity status or citizenship of the applicant, improper specimens, or improper dates of use.
Substantive USPTO office actions are based on more complicated problems identified by the Examining Attorney. Substantive USPTO office actions may involve substantive legal refusals based on statutory prohibitions, such as refusals based on mere descriptiveness (or generic marks), likelihood of confusion, surnames, false suggestion of connection, or scandalous marks. Upon receipt of a substantive USPTO office action, we will provide a free evaluation to determine whether or not the problem can be fixed and provide an estimate of the fees associated with responding to the office action.
