If you’ve applied for a trademark, you may receive a notice from the USPTO called an Office Action. While there are different kinds of Office Actions, they all have strict deadlines. If you don’t respond in time, your application could be abandoned.
First, our trademark attorneys will dive into the notice from the USPTO to pinpoint exactly what needs to be fixed or clarified in your trademark application.
We’ll team up with you to create a solid plan to address the USPTO’s concerns. Our goal is to give your application the best shot at getting approved.
With our strategy in place, we’ll get to work on drafting a detailed and compelling response. We’ll make sure every issue is addressed and back it up with strong evidence and arguments.
Once you’ve given us the green light, we’ll submit your response to the USPTO quickly and make sure it’s in before the deadline.
After we’ve filed your response, we’ll keep an eye on your application. If the USPTO has any more questions or issues, we’ll be ready to handle them for you.

After you file a trademark application, it usually takes six or more months for the USPTO to complete its first review. During this step, the USPTO often issues an Office Action, even if an attorney filed the application.
An Office Action is a response from the USPTO examiner that can address procedural issues, substantive issues, or both. It might cover several issues or just one. No matter what, you have six months to respond to the first Office Action.
Crafting an effective response takes a deep understanding of trademark laws, strategic argumentation, and solid evidence. While you can respond on your own, the risks of mistakes are high. An improper response can jeopardize your application, lead to additional fees, or delay the process.
That’s right! As trademark attorneys we know this too well. We’re talking business names, logos, slogans … even podcast titles. Lots of entrepreneurs don’t protect their trademarks until it’s too late.
