How Much Does a Texas Trademark Lawyer Cost?

Hiring a trademark lawyer usually costs between $200 and $600 per hour, depending on what you need. However, you can also make use of flat-fee pricing for specific tasks.

On ContractsCounsel, one of the largest online legal marketplaces that gives you access to a network of vetted lawyers, you can pay a flat fee of $910 for preparing and filing a trademark application to protect your brand, based on real project data from the platform.

Trademark lawyers in Texas usually charge an hourly charge or a flat fee for legal services.

What are Typical Trademark Costs?

Costs for registering trademarks can vary quite a bit because there are so many different activities involved, such as filing a trademark registration with the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) or conducting a trademark search. Here’s a rundown of some of the most common trademark-related expenses you can expect.

  • Conducting a trademark search: approximately $300 to $1,000.
  • USPTO trademark registration application filing fees: usually $350 per class.
  • Office action responses: approximately $300 to $1,000.

For ongoing work, such as trademark monitoring, you can expect to pay a lawyer much more money, such as several hundred dollars per year. Generally, costs vary depending on the complexity of what you require.

What are Common Trademark Lawyer Pricing Structures?

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

  • Hourly fees. A lawyer typically charges you per hour for ongoing or complex work, such as if you need legal assistance with a trademark infringement dispute.
  • Flat fees. A lawyer charges a flat fee for work that’s straightforward, such as if you want to submit a simple trademark registration application.

Alternatively, a trademark lawyer might suggest a retainer, in which you pay upfront for ongoing work. There’s also hybrid pricing, in which you’re charged a flat fee for certain legal tasks and an hourly charge for others.

How Can You Reduce Costs When Hiring a Trademark Lawyer in Texas?

There are various ways to lower your expenses when working with a Texas trademark lawyer.

Choose a Flat-Fee Pricing Package

Discuss pricing with your lawyer during your consultation so that you can find ways to make use of flat fees as much as possible, as this will help you to reduce your overall costs.

Consult a Lawyer Prior to Filing a Trademark Registration

You can spend lots of money on correcting trademark registrations that get rejected, such as if you don’t have all the documents or specimens you require for your application. By enlisting the help of a lawyer from the start of the process, this will ensure you do it correctly and without additional expenses.

Hire a Trademark Lawyer in a Smaller Texas City

If possible, it can help you to hire a trademark lawyer in a smaller city or rural area in Texas. This is because trademark lawyers located in metropolitan areas like Houston or Austin tend to charge higher rates.

Work with an Experienced Trademark Lawyer

Although lawyers with expertise and lots of experience tend to charge higher rates than general business attorneys, working with them will actually help you lower your costs because you’ll avoid risking the legal services not meeting your requirements.

What Factors Influence Trademark Costs?

While location can affect trademark lawyer costs, there are other factors that will influence how much you spend.

Trademark Complexity

A trademark can be complex to deal with, such as if you attempt to register a mark that’s too similar to other trademarks. The lawyer will have to take more time to conduct trademark searches, which will increase your costs.

If your trademark involves office actions, which are letters the USPTO sends you and could require you to take action to fix issues in your trademark application, hiring a lawyer to handle these will also result in additional costs.

Hiring a Lawyer for the Full Registration Process

You might be able to do some aspects of your trademark registration yourself, such as conducting trademark knockout searches on the USPTO platform. This is especially the case if you’ve submitted applications before.

How to Hire a Trademark Lawyer in Texas

The platform provides you with lawyer transparency. It gives you a range of information about the lawyers, all conveniently on the platform, so that you don’t have to conduct your own time-consuming research.

I was born in Charlotte, NC and primarily raised in Dalton, GA. I graduated from Dalton High School in 1981 where I was in the band and the French club. I also participated in Junior Achievement and was a member of Tri-Hi-Y. New York granted my first license as an attorney in 1990. I then worked as a partner in the firm of Broda and Burnett for almost 10 years and as a solo practitioner for about 2 years. I worked as a general practitioner (primarily doing divorces, child abuse cases, custody matters and other family law matters, bankruptcy, real estate closings, contracts, taxes, etc.) and as a Law Guardian (attorney who represents children). I obtained my license in Tennessee in December 2002 and began working as an associate at Blackburn & McCune from February of 2003 until May of 2005. At Blackburn & McCune I provided telephone legal counsel to Prepaid Legal Services (now known as Legal Shield) members, wrote letters for members, reviewed contracts, attended hearings on traffic ticket matters and represented members with regard to IRS matters. In May of 2005, I went to work for North American Satellite Corporation where I served as Corporate Counsel. I handled a number of taxation issues, reviewed and wrote contracts, counseled the CEO and Board of Directors on avoiding legal problems and resolving disputes, and represented employees on a variety of matters, and also assisted the company for a period of time as its Director of Accounting. In 2010, I volunteered as a law clerk for Judge Robert Adams in Dalton, Georgia until I obtained my license to practice law in Georgia in November, 2010. In Georgia, I have handled a variety of family law matters, drafted wills, advanced health care directives, power of attorney documents, reviewed and drafted contracts, and conducted real estate closings.
