Let’s Get You Trademarked.

We won’t lie to you — protecting your trademark can be long and complicated. But don’t worry, we’ve broken down the whole process of providing a trademark service into plain English for you.

It surprises many business owners to learn that the trademark process will take about 15 months minimum.

To give you a better idea of why this takes so long, here’s a quick summary of our trademark service timeline.

Week 1 – Analyze Competitor Trademarks

First, we do a lot of trademark research to see if there may be issues or risks with your trademark application.

Not-so-fun fact: over 50% of trademark applications get refused. That’s why working with an experienced trademark attorney is so important.

Good-to-know: If we’re not successful in getting your trademark registered, your next one is 100% on us (including filing fee for ONE class).

Week 2 – Apply For Your Trademark

Within 2-3 weeks of signing up with Indie Law, our trademark attorneys will have your trademark application completed and submitted to the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, aka the USPTO.

Month 10 – Trademark Processed

Because half a million of trademarks are filed each year, it generally takes up to 9-10 months for the USPTO to start reviewing your trademark application. From there, your trademark registration needs to go through different stages of review before it will be successful. We’ll keep you posted throughout this trademark filing process.

After 12 Months – Trademark Registered

On average, it takes 9-12 months to register a trademark. Depending on various issues, it could take longer or get rejected entirely.

When we receive news of your registration (wahoo!), our team celebrates with you! You can expect some sweet gifts from us!
