A FEW GOOD QUESTIONS

Let’s make
the next step clearer.

How much does it cost to hire DBA for a trademark application?+

Our qualifying use-in-commerce search-and-application package is $2,700 in attorney fees for one mark in up to two classes. Base USPTO application fees are currently $350 per class, so the starting totals are $3,050 for one class or $3,400 for two, before additional fees or out-of-scope work. Contact us to confirm eligibility and scope. Details and sources

How long does trademark registration take?+

There is no fixed completion date. Examination queues, the filing basis, refusals, publication and any opposition affect the timeline. An intent-to-use application also needs the required proof-of-use filing before registration. Use the USPTO’s current processing information for planning, and distinguish an average from a deadline or promise for your application. Details and sources

How does DBA charge for a trademark office-action response?+

Standalone office-action response work and substantive refusals are billed at our current hourly rates. A nonsubstantive response expressly included in an existing qualifying registration package remains within that agreed scope. Appeals and other substantive work are hourly. Send the complete USPTO letter and serial number so we can evaluate the issue, deadline and engagement terms. Details and sources

Can we work together if I’m outside Virginia?+

Yes. Our federal trademark practice serves clients in all 50 states. We can discuss your brand and work through the application process remotely.

Can you help with both a name and a logo?+

Yes. We’ll discuss the elements of your brand, your priorities, and whether separate applications make sense. We can also discuss pricing for associated names and logos.

What is included in the flat-fee package?+

The $2,700 package includes a clearance search, an attorney opinion and consultation, application preparation and filing, tracking, responses to nonsubstantive office actions, and delivery of the registration certificate if issued. It applies to one mark in up to two classes that meets the use-in-commerce requirement. The base USPTO fee is $350 per class; additional government fees may apply. Contact us for a quote.

Does the package guarantee registration?+

No. The USPTO decides whether to register a trademark. Our role is to assess potential issues, advise you, and handle the work within the agreed scope. A search and application do not guarantee approval.

What should I bring to our first conversation?+

Bring the name or logo you want to protect, a description of your products or services, and any correspondence about the trademark. If you’re still deciding on a brand, we can start there.
