Trademark Attorney
About this Gig
Most founders come to me with trademark questions at one of three moments:
1) they want to know if their name is protectable before they invest in it,
2) they've already fallen in love with a name and need to understand what they're working with, or
3) they're ready to file an application with the US Patent & Trademark Office and want a second set of trained eyes before anything gets submitted.
I was a trademark attorney at the USPTO for a decade. I've reviewed thousands of applications, so I know exactly how examiners think.
Basic: I'll conduct a comprehensive clearance search and strength analysis for your trademark/brand name, then deliver a written memo in plain English with a clear green, yellow, or red signal for your mark.
Standard: I'll run a comprehensive trademark search, draft your identification of goods/services, and file the application on your behalf (you are responsible for the USPTO filing fees in addition to my service fee)
Premium: I'll review and respond to substantive Office Actions.
*Each service incudes one trademark, in one class. Additional trademarks and/or classes incur additional fees. Discounts applied for multiple classes and marks.

FAQ
When is the right time to file a trademark?
Earlier than most founders do it. The best time is before you launch, or as soon as you have a name you're ready to commit to. Trademark rights in the U.S. are priority-based, which means the first to file generally wins if two parties are using the same or similar mark. Every
Can I just file the trademark application myself?
U.S. citizens are allowed to file pro se. But most DIY applications get refused or encounter problems, usually because of incorrect class identification, weak identification of goods and services, specimen issues, or a likelihood of confusion with an existing mark the applicant didn't find
I own the social media handle and/or have an LLC, don't I already own the trademark?
Domain registration and social handles don't create trademark rights. They're registrations with private companies, not the federal government. A trademark is what gives you the right to stop someone else from using a confusingly similar name for the same or related goods and services.
What is an Office Action and what happens if I get one?
It's a written letter from a USPTO examining attorney explaining a problem with the application. It might be a likelihood of confusion with an existing mark, a descriptiveness refusal, a specimen issue, or something procedural. It's not a final rejection but requires legal arguments in response.
