    Trademark Application Process - Step 3

    Choose Your Trademark Class

    Begin outlining the products and services associated with your trademark. Trademark File Help will review the description you provide and offer suggestions from the USPTO ID Manual for your review.

    Do you sell, or intend to sell, a goods or service?

    GOODS - Which of these categories best describes the industry or way in which you will use your mark?

    SERVICES - Which of these categories best describes the industry or way in which you will use your mark?

    *Provide a few more details on the goods and services you are selling with your trademark.

    When detailing your goods and services, provide precise information and avoid using phrases like "including but not limited to," "like," "such as," and "etc." Utilizing these terms might cause delays in processing your application.

    Trademark Application Process - Step 4

    Know before you file! Get a Comprehensive Search Report.

    Before proceeding to pay the USPTO fees, it's advisable to conduct a quick search to determine if your trademark is already in use or registered by another individual or entity. This search aids in avoiding unintentional duplications of existing marks. Our Basic Federal Direct-Hit Search is provided as part of this service. If the search reveals a direct match with an existing or pending application, we'll notify you before any fees are submitted to the USPTO. This allows you to reconsider your choice of trademark or decide whether to proceed with the trademark process.

    Especially if your business is in its early stages, it's wiser to address any name changes now, rather than invest years in building a brand, only to later discover that a name change is necessary, resulting in loss of brand reputation.

    For added certainty, you might want to consider a more comprehensive search. While the basic free search covers the USPTO, it doesn't encompass all 50 states, common law, domain names, international searches, or provide a detailed report. A more comprehensive search provides more information for making informed decisions. If you choose this option, you can still complete the application now. However, no application will be submitted to the USPTO until you've had the chance to review any of the paid searches, approve the application considering the search results, or make adjustments here before filing your application.

    *What type of trademark search would you like us to conduct?

    If we find that your trademark is already taken, we will not file for the trademark, we will contact you and refund your trademark filling and USPTO fees. Which saves you time and money.

As we move forward, Trademark File Help will take care of collecting and covering the government’s discounted filing fee of $350 for the TEAS Standard electronic application. In specific cases, your application might meet the requirements for the less commonly used TEAS PLUS system. If that’s the case, we’ll send $250 to the USPTO to streamline the process. If your application qualifies for TEAS PLUS, we’ll use it, and Trademark File Help will keep the surplus amount between the TEAS Standard and TEAS Plus fees due to the extra effort involved.
