Quick Facts — Trademark Lawyers

How Much Does a Georgia Trademark Lawyer Cost?

Hiring a trademark lawyer usually costs approximately $200 to $600 per hour, depending on the tasks you need done. For some projects, your lawyer might charge you a flat-fee pricing structure.

You can save money on your costs by using an online legal marketplace like ContractsCounsel, one of the largest online legal marketplaces that gives you access to a network of vetted lawyers.

A trademark lawyer on ContractsCounsel charges an average of $150 to $350 per hour. Projects that are straightforward usually make use of a flat fee, such as trademark applications that will cost an average of $850 for the entire process.

What are Some Common Trademark Costs?

Legal services for trademarks can vary quite a bit, because people’s needs can be very different. Here’s a rundown of some of the most common trademark costs you might encounter:

  • Conducting a trademark search: approximately $300 to $1,000. This involves your lawyer checking for conflicting trademarks that are already registered or appear on databases, giving you peace of mind that you’re registering a trademark that isn’t going to be rejected.
  • Trademark registration application filing fees: usually $350 per class. This is the cost you have to pay to the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) when submitting an application.
  • Office action responses: approximately $300 to $1,000. These are common activities a lawyer will do on your behalf after your trademark application on the USPTO platform. They involve handling queries from the USPTO’s examining attorney who is reviewing your trademark application. Some queries can be complex, so a lawyer’s guidance is valuable.
  • Drafting a cease-and-desist letter: approximately $460. If you’re hiring a lawyer for a trademark dispute, your lawyer might draft a cease-and-desist letter, notifying the offending party of their actions and telling them to stop. On ContractsCounsel, legal drafting of a cease and desist costs a flat fee of approximately $460, but it depends on the complexity of the document.

What are Typical Trademark Lawyer Pricing Structures?

Trademark lawyers usually make use of hourly pricing and flat-fee pricing.

  • Hourly fees. These are considered for ongoing or complex work that can’t be limited to a flat fee, such as if your trademark lawyer needs to provide assistance with an ongoing trademark infringement dispute.
  • Flat fees. For work that is straightforward, a trademark lawyer will usually charge clients a flat fee. A common example is if you need a document drafted or reviewed.
  • Hybrid pricing. This is a mix of hourly and flat-fee pricing. A lawyer will suggest this structure if they need to complete various tasks that don’t suit a simple pricing structure.

How Can You Save Money on a Georgia Trademark Lawyer?

Trademark legal services don’t have to be expensive. There are various ways in which you can reduce your costs.

Discuss a Flat-Fee Pricing Package

During your consultation with a Georgia trademark lawyer, you should ask about the pricing structure and if you can use flat-fee pricing as much as possible to reduce your overall costs.

Avoid Hiring Lawyers in Large Cities

Working with a trademark lawyer in Georgia’s city hubs and affluent areas will be costlier than those in less affluent suburban locations. Some of the most expensive areas include Atlanta, Alpharetta, and Roswell. It’s worth seeing if you can find a lawyer who’s based elsewhere to reduce your costs.

Ask About Money-Back Guarantees

Paying for trademark registration applications can be costly, especially if your application gets rejected. There are some lawyers who will consider refunding at least some of your legal costs should your application be rejected, or who will assist you to remedy the issue at no further cost.

Hire an Experienced Trademark Lawyer

Hiring a lawyer with lots of expertise and experience can result in higher costs, but this can actually save you money. When you work with a qualified lawyer who has assisted other clients with trademark legal services, you’ll avoid paying for work that doesn’t meet your requirements.

Find a Lawyer on an Online Legal Platform

You can easily find a lawyer and pay less for trademark legal services by using an online legal platform instead of contacting traditional law firms in Georgia, which can incur expenses for personnel and overheads.

The online platform provides you with lawyer transparency. It gives you a range of data and research about the lawyers, preventing you from having to conduct your own legal research when locating the most appropriate lawyer.

1. Visit the ContractsCounsel marketplace, where you can post your project for free.
