Does registering my business name give me federal trademark rights?
No. Registering a state business name does not automatically grant federal trademark registration. Using a name to identify goods or services may create trademark rights. USPTO overview ↗
Is a search for the exact name enough?
No. Conflicting marks may be similar in appearance, sound or commercial impression. An initial word search does not replace a comprehensive clearance search or qualified legal advice.
What does the $449 attorney fee cover?
The stated fee covers the agreed registration attorney service scope. The USPTO base fee of $350 per class is separate and the applicant is responsible for paying it. Extra classes, additional official fees, office-action responses and later filings may increase costs; confirm the engagement terms before proceeding.
How much does the USPTO charge?
For qualifying applications, the USPTO base filing fee is $350 per class. For example, the initial attorney fee ($449) plus one base class ($350) totals $799. Other fees can apply. Current USPTO fee schedule ↗
Can you guarantee my trademark will register?
No. A search is not an approval decision. The USPTO examines each application, and third parties may have relevant rights.
