MarkMyLogo pairs you with trademark counsel to prepare, review, and file your U.S. trademark application — for one flat fee, agreed before any work begins.
Consultation: 20 minutes, no obligation. Already talked with us? Fill out your application details online and we'll review them before anything is filed.
Pricing
The $1,200 attorney fee covers your application from filing through registration, however long USPTO examination takes. It doesn't change if examination runs long or the file needs extra attention on our end.
It does not cover a substantive response to an Office Action or a third-party opposition. If either comes up, we'll explain what's involved and quote it separately before doing any of that work.
This fee applies whether your mark is already in use or you file under intent-to-use, before you start using it. Intent-to-use applications incur additional costs later; see the FAQ below.
Why use an attorney
The USPTO's online system will let anyone submit an application. It won't tell you whether your goods and services are described correctly, whether your filing basis is the right one, or whether a specimen will hold up under examination. Mistakes here don't just get rejected — they can cost you the fee, the filing date, or the mark itself.
Kimball Anderson reviews these decisions with you before anything is filed, so the application is built to withstand examination rather than just submitted and hoped for.
Process
Book time through Calendly. We'll talk through your brand, your business, and what you're trying to protect.
Kimball Anderson reviews the proposed trademark and, if useful, discusses a clearance search before you commit further.
We identify the correct goods and services, choose the right filing basis, and draft the application around your business.
Nothing goes to the USPTO without your sign-off. You'll see the completed application and have a chance to ask questions first.
We submit the application, send you the filed copy, and monitor it all the way through to registration — flagging you the moment anything needs a response.
Scope
If either comes up, we'll explain what's needed and agree on a fee before doing the work.

Questions
$1,200 flat attorney fee, plus the USPTO's filing fee of $350 per class of goods or services. Most applications cover one class; we'll tell you upfront if yours needs more.
No. The fee covers preparing and filing a well-built application. Filing doesn't guarantee registration — the USPTO examines every application, and some require additional legal work afterward.
We'll review it with you either way. A substantive response to an Office Action, or defending against a third-party opposition, isn't part of the flat fee — we'll quote that work separately before doing it, so you're never left to figure it out on your own.
Yes. A clearance search can be done before filing, and it's worth it if you're about to invest heavily in a new or important brand. Bring it up on your consultation.
The same $1,200 flat fee applies if you file under intent-to-use, before you've started using the mark in commerce. Intent-to-use applications incur additional costs later: once the USPTO allows the application, a Statement of Use has to be filed — $500 plus $150 per class — and if you need more time to file it, extensions are available for an additional fee.
Filing is only the start. Once submitted, the application goes through USPTO examination, and the timeline depends on their queue and whether any issues come up — it isn't immediate.
