Finish your expanding business masterpiece – GET A TRADEMARK!
Add value and credibility while protecting and expanding rights in sound, appearance and meaning, under trademark law. The big 4 of the 5 reasons to get a trademark.
The 1st – BE LEGALLY CLEAR, under trademark law.
This week I am holding a 7am-7pm Trademark Consultation “Fest”. Why now? One reason is that USPTO application fee goes up $100/class in January 2025.

Every company and product has a name, therefore a trademark issue. Trademark I.P. should never be taken lightly.
It’s critical.
By now you must know if business justifies trademarking. Isn’t it time? But, CAN this name be trademarked? IF so, don’t you want to OWN the name, by getting a trademark? Use the well-known ® symbol? Gain credibility?!
Trademarking broadens rights in sound, appearance & meaning. Enforcement is 100x easier when you clearly own the trademark. Having a trademark makes your firm MORE VALUABLE.
If you’ve neglected your firm’s intellectual property, and would like to get back on track – then let’s talk. My free expert trademark consultations zero into the needs of your business. If not ready to trademark now, then learn what you need to do in the near future.
Here’s a quick chart of new USPTO fee increases

Trademarks are an amazing asset for any business who wisely invests in them.
A) Trademarks way more easily protect your past common law rights.
B) Trademarks expand your rights in sound, appearance and meaning.
C) Trademarks achieve ownership rights.
D) Trademarks make enforcement against infringers 100X easier as it is clear to everyone you own the name, slogan or logo.
E) Trademarks make your company TWICE as valuable to any buyer, when ownership is nationwide, instead of local or limited to almost direct infringers.
F) Anytime you can be on the right side of a trademark issue, saves you either $600/hour attorney fee to argue, or literally hundreds of thousands of $ in costs to re-establish your company or product under a new name.
(In 1992, it cost me $300k in lost sales, to rebrand a mere 4 State service. I have seen it time and again in our client’s experiences.)
G) The comprehensive clearance research process of getting a trademark ensures that you can use the mark. For start-ups this is essential even when not seeking a trademark.
It is ALWAYS BEST to clear a company or product name BEFORE USE.
Trademarks are much broader than almost everyone assumes. Similar names in sound, appearance and meaning matter. Related goods and services matter. Channel of distribution, famous names and overly litigious companies’ matter. Attorney analysis is needed, as we provide with our network of 12 independent attorneys.
Remember, it is our approach, and uniqueness is what saves you $2000 – $3000 over a $600 trademark attorney who does LIKE work. No trademark service has ever done business like TradeMark Express.
So, if your enterprise start-up or worthwhile going concern is proving itself viable for the long term, then don’t let cost stop you form doing the right thing for your business. Get a trademark!

Take a look at our new TradeMark Express flexible pay package.
30% Trademark Express $1000 Premium Package – $300 Order. Then $100 Month – Long Term 8 Month Pay Plan – Please contact us to discuss. See: https://conta.cc/3B7YVSw.
This option is ideal for one-time idea orders and others who have already used a mark for years and despite research will not change their mark, even when research finds someone else owns the trademark.
So, if your name, logo or slogan were to be blocked at the trademark research level, (35% to 40% chance), then you have the option to bail on the trademark order at no additional fee/payments. Further payments will be cancelled.
When continuing to the Common Law research and application preparation services, then this option allows trademark fee to be spread out over 8 months for TradeMark Express $1000 Premium Package orders.
Pay $300 at the time of the order, (here), then $100 per month for the next 7 months = 8 month pay plan. We must have a credit card on file.
This option is not available for our Urgent Trademark level of services.
Please be aware if the mark is blocked, and you are going to rollover to a new mark, then replenishment will be needed to redo the Trademark research $300 and/or Common Law research $300 – as MAY be needed. TBD.
Be aware each comprehensive clearance search takes 3-3.5 hours.
Also, this package does include creative naming services and 12-month monitoring services, as included our TradeMark Express package.
Unlike any of our competitors, over the last 32 years, our comprehensive clearance legal research is uniquely conducted in a step-by-step fashion for our clients, to keep their fee lower.
Please contact us to discuss.
