About
The Absolute Best Way to Trademark Your Name, Slogan and Logo Design art.
Worldwide.
Since 1992, TradeMark Express® has been the absolute best, most unique way to trademark a name, slogan, or logo. Every trademark filing we do is based upon actual expert comprehensive clearance legal research to determine legal availability of our client’s intended trademark. Legal research is broken into 3 steps – preliminary, trademark and common law. We offer our clients access to choose between our network of 10 trademark attorneys to analyze our typical 600-800 page reports. Each attorney has at least 30 years experience. IF a mark is blocked, then clients can salvage their remaining fee by rolling over to a new mark. No other trademark service in the World offers this common sense approach to achieve a trademark. We even have a $1000 Challenge if you can find a better trademark service than TradeMark Express®.

Expert Comprehensive Clearance Legal
Trademark and Common Law Research
NOTE - Any trademarking service less expensive than us, is NOT doing what you need - i.e. actual, true, deep comprehensive legal research.
Any attorney, doing LIKE work, as you need, will be in the $3000-$4000 range for the 8-10 hours of work to achieve a successful trademark.
TradeMark Express conducts expert Federal Trademark, State Trademark, and Common Law Research (first use) on the leading online sources of Thomson Reuters Westlaw & CompuMark SAEGIS network of 6500 databases.
Each area of potential similarity is thoroughly searched for trade name conflict and similarities — based on name similarity of sound, appearance, and meaning. These online databases, with billions of references to search through, are updated daily.
A typical trade name search may involve researching thousands of different compiled informational databases to find a potential problem.
We know from the experience of conducting over 500,000 trade name research strategies that similarities are much more likely to affect a clients’ legal use, than conflicts which a preliminary search will uncover. Most strong similarities in sound, appearance, and meaning are found only when conducting a comprehensive IP search.
Thus, TradeMark Express only conducts comprehensive IP searches for its clients because of its expertise.
Unique Step-By-Step Money Saving Approach. IF legally blocked, then salvage & rollover unused funds to new trademark.
