THE TRADEMARK PROCESS / EL PROCESO DE MARCA REGISTRADA

You don't have to register a trademark to own it. In fact, you own your trademark the minute you put it in the stream of commerce for others to see. Registration puts the world on notice that you own the intellectual property and that only you can use it.

We register your mark by taking the following steps.

1. You provide us with information about the mark using the form below (or feel free to contact us directly.)

2. We review the mark and conduct a search of the United States Patent and Trademark Office ("USPTO") database to make sure it is eligible for registration (i.e. it meets the legal requirements to be a registered trademark and no one else is using the same mark or something confusingly similar).

3. We prepare the application and contact you to review it prior to filing.

4. With your approval we file the mark electronically with the USPTO.

5. Approximately 4 months after the application is filed, the USPTO will appoint a trademark examiner. The examiner will either (1) approve the mark application as is, (2) request changes to the application, or (3) indicate that the mark cannot be registered on legal grounds. Changes to the application are usually formalities and we modify and resubmit the application (with your approval). An indication that the mark cannot be registered on legal grounds is very rare and requires a more in depth response. We will contact you to discuss options and strategies.

6. The mark is approved by the examiner and submitted to the Official Register for publication. Publication gives the public an opportunity to object to the mark. In the almost 20 years that we have been in business that has never happened to a mark we've filed.

7. You receive a certificate of registration from the USPTO.

Even though there is a set process for registering a mark, every case is a little different and we cannot guaranty results.

Use this Rapid Intake Form below to provide the preliminary information that we need to start processing your trademark application.

"My name is Anastasia Yecke Gude and I am the owner of Healing Hands Therapeutic Massage LLC. In the process of my company’s growth and expansion, I suddenly found myself a few weeks ago in need of a 1099 contractor agreement, and I needed it ASAP. As in, the very next day! I contacted the Law Office of Yoel Molina and his assistant put me in touch with Mo. I sent him what I had drafted up and he replied within a few hours with suggested revisions and clarifications, as well as a few insights I had not even considered. I was thoroughly impressed by the quality of work he provided, especially considering the time crunch I put him in (sorry, Mo!). I definitely recommend his services to anyone in need of a good contract attorney, and I will be calling him again for future work…hopefully in less of a rush next time!"
