A: Hello,
I'd be glad to help with the trademark registration for your new business to protect the name, logo, or slogan associated with it.
I am a US licensed trademark attorney and run my own trademark practice dedicated to all aspects of trademark protection. I have worked with clients in various industries, including software, hardware, manufacturing, food/beverage, e-commerce space, professional services, and many others.
I offer a flat rate package of $700 per trademark filing (plus USPTO fees which are $250-350 per class), which includes all of the below.
Search fee: $350
• a trademark search and clearance report to identify any potentially similar marks that would block a USPTO application
• covers USPTO database, state registries, domain databases, social media sites, and general internet search for potentially conflicting registered trademarks (live or dead), and common law mark)
• also includes follow up consultation with me to review and answer questions on the report
Filing legal fee: $350
• draft and file the trademark application with the USPTO
• includes drafting all applicable classes (client can choose which to include)
• responses to minor USPTO office actions
• likelihood of confusion and descriptiveness refusals are separate fee, based on details of the office action
USPTO fees:
• $250/class if you choose the USPTO pre-approved class descriptions (most of the time, this covers the client's products/services
• $350/class if you write your own class description for unique products/services
If you have any questions about the proposal or trademark process, I would be glad to set up a free 15 minute call to answer any initial questions. Thank you for your consideration.
A: Yes, it's generally possible to trademark the name of your software, as long as it is not a generic name or descriptive of the product. You should also do a clearance search to make sure no other company is using the same or similar name for similar services. I would be glad to discuss more details and help with the trademark process. Thanks.
