How it works
Common-law uses on the open web: websites, marketplaces, listings and social media. Federal records are on the roadmap.
Check surnames, foreign wording, descriptiveness, geographic terms, and the applicant’s name and address before they go into the application.
Build a TM Application Intake with USPTO ID Manual wording that the company reviews before you file.
Check the application against the company’s other records. Ownership, Chain of Title, Specimen, and Full audits are available now.
MarkMyLogo prepares and checks application information. You or your attorney file with the USPTO; MarkMyLogo does not file. The checks flag items for review and are research aids, not legal conclusions.
