Three Steps We’ve Used to Register 8,000+ Trademarks

  • 01 Comprehensive Trademark Search

    Once you complete our engagement form, we will conduct a comprehensive federal, state and common law trademark search. Our search is performed utilizing software provided by Corsearch, an industry leading trademark search software used by the largest law firms in the world. Our search works to identify any potential issue with your desired trademark prior to making a trademark filing.

  • 02 Trademark Attorney Consultation

    Within 7-10 days of commencing work, we will return the trademark search results for your review. You can then set up a time to talk to one of our attorneys about the search results and any other questions you have about the trademark registration process. In the event that our search uncovers a problem, we offer a complimentary second search on a different trademark.

    Our experienced trademark attorneys will prepare your trademark application for your review and approval. Having drafted and successfully registered over 8,000 trademarks since 2008, our attorneys understand the intricacies of a US trademark application and will ensure your application is drafted to give you the best chance of approval possible.

Helping Our Customers Succeed

Jon Payne

The IP Advocates is fantastic at what they do - intellectual property law. I have used them for about a dozen trademarks over the past 7 or 8 years now and each time they have been comprehensive in their research, swift in their deliverables and always acted with integrity and a focus on the best interest of me and my company. I cannot recommend them highly enough!

Autumn Bitterlich

I am thoroughly impressed by Josh and his colleagues. They helped me through the detailed process of filing and my Trademark, which would have been an extremely stressful process for me to do alone. I could depend on them to contact me in a timely manner to keep all of the filings up to date, and CORRECT. I can't say enough positive about them. The whole team was quick to respond to my questions and made me feel secure in my choosing them.

We Are Attorneys Committed to Doing
Trademark Registration the Right Way

  • Proper Attorney Review

    There are many online trademark services that offer trademark searches without the proper review from a team of trademark attorneys. We ensure that our firm’s experienced attorneys review the search results and provide an opinion regarding the likelihood of success of each trademark application.

  • A Comprehensive Search

    We offer just one trademark registration service, because we do not believe in doing “partial” searches. Our belief is that only by conducing a comprehensive, federal, state, and common law search, can we truly minimize the likelihood that our clients will face a trademark infringement lawsuit down the road.

  • Peace Of Mind

    As experienced trademark attorneys, we leave no stone unturned when conducting your trademark search. Our goal is to provide as much assurance as possible that no one else owns the rights to your proposed trademark. We search the U.S. Government’s federal trademark database, databases in all 50 states, and common law databases as part of our flat fee trademark registration service.

  • Knowing the Complexity

    Trademark law in the United States is complicated due to the multiple layers of possible rights a trademark owner may have. For instance, successfully registering a trademark at the federal level may not ensure that you own all of the rights to the trademark. Further, a trademark may be registered not only at the federal level but also within any of the state governments.

  • Hand-Drafted Application

    To further ensure its accuracy and completeness, our licensed attorneys will hand-draft and file your trademark application. A trademark application is a complicated legal document. If the application is not completed properly, the USPTO may refuse the application, or, a third party may later challenge the validity of the trademark registration.

  • Individual Attention

    From search to approval our firm believes in giving each client the individual attention necessary to ensure the success of their trademark registration. If you have any questions about our trademark registration package, please get in touch.

  • AI-Guided Trademark Development: Mitigating Infringement Risks

    Over the last few months, I’ve been receiving this question more often: Can I use generative AI to develop a protectable trademark?

  • What happens if the opposing party does not respond to discovery in a TTAB Opposition or Cancellation?

    Navigating the USPTO’s Trademark Trial and Appeal Board (“TTAB”) can be a formidable challenge, especially for new practitioners before the Board. A common scenario that unfolds during these proceedings involves an opposing party—or more specifically, their attorney—engaging actively during the initial stages, only to become unresponsive as the case progresses and demands more time and resources. This behavior is not […]

    For most companies, when it comes to registering trademarks, time is of the essence. With the standard time between application submission and review at the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) now stretching to ten months or more, the desire for expedited reviews has become more prevalent than ever.
