I will file your intent to use application as your attorney before the uspto

An Intent to Use (ITU) application is filed to reserve a trademark before actual use in commerce. It shows your plan to use the mark within 6 months (extendable to 3 years). After approval, you must file a Statement of Use (SOU) proving real use to get full registration.

An In Use application is filed when you’re already using the trademark in commerce (e.g., selling goods/services). An Intent to Use (ITU) application is filed when you plan to use the mark soon but haven’t started yet. ITU requires later proof of use (via a Statement of Use) for full registration.

The ITU application process involves: filing the Application, which is then examined, if approved, then it gets published for opposition. Once the Notice of Allowance is issued, you will then need to submit your evidence of use, which will next be processed by the examiner.

A Statement of Use (SOU) is a filing with the USPTO that proves you’re now using your trademark in commerce. It includes: Specimens (real-world examples of the mark in use, like product labels or ads), the date of first use and details of goods/services. It must be filed within 6 months after NOA.

Yes, filing an SOU with the USPTO requires a fee of $150 per class. You must submit the SOU within 6 months of the Notice of Allowance (NOA), or request a 6-month extension of time (also subject to a $150 - $200 filing fee).
