Trademark Registration FAQs

Countless businesses have secured their brand with a trademark filing.

How long does it take to register a trademark, and when can I start using the ® symbol?

The time it takes to register a trademark varies, but it can typically take several months to a year. You can use the ™ symbol immediately upon filing, but you can use the ® symbol only after registering your trademark.
Can I register my trademark internationally through your service?

Yes, we can assist with domestic and international trademark registrations, helping you protect your brand globally.
What happens if my trademark registration application is rejected?

If your application is rejected, we will work with you to understand the reasons and potentially file an appeal or modify your application to address the concerns.
What is the difference between a registered trademark and a common-law trademark?

A trademark that is registered (shown by the ® symbol) goes through a formal registration process with government agencies such as the USPTO, offering strong and comprehensive legal protection on a national level. On the other hand, a common-law trademark (designated by the ™ symbol) is protected by actual use in commerce, but it is usually restricted to the area in which it is used.
Can I register a trademark for a product or service that has not yet been launched?

Yes, you can file a trademark application for a product or service in development or not yet launched. This is known as an "intent-to-use" application, and it allows you to reserve rights for future use.

Is copyright registration necessary for online content, including websites and digital media?
