Consider the above pricing. Other services may initially charge less than $1,000 to get started but then start billing you to keep going. I hate it when clients feel like they are hostages to their own lawyers, don’t you? And if you find yourself in that situation, how would you know when its actually going to end?
I’m different from other services. I’ve already shown you estimated prices for every step of the process. I’ve totalled it up and quoted you a flat price that is less than a quarter of what it might cost me. It won’t cost me that much every time, and usually, it won’t. But I’m happy to absorb that risk so that you never worry about ongoing, runaway costs. I want to lift your brand, not your wallet.
Now, let’s examine the reality of services claiming to offer “guaranteed” trademark registrations.
Trademark Application v. Registration
Knowing the difference between “trademark registration” and “trademark application” services can save you significant stress and resources. When searching for trademark help, you might type “trademark registration services,” but no one can guarantee registration.
Registering a trademark is like climbing a mountain. You can prepare well, but obstacles may arise that are unpredictable and uncontrollable, like bad weather or rockslides.
Similarly, a good lawyer can help you prepare a strong trademark application, but the USPTO decides whether it gets registered. The USPTO is like the mountain – it determines the outcome.
Companies promising “guaranteed registration” are like hiking guides promising you’ll reach the mountain’s top. It sounds good but is an unrealistic promise.
Instead, you want to look for a service that’s upfront about this. An “application” service means they’ll do everything they can to give you the best chance of success. However, they’re honest that the final decision is up to the USPTO.
It’s like a hiking guide saying, “I’ll help you train, equip, and navigate, but I can’t control the mountain. We’ll do our best, but I can’t guarantee reaching the top.”
That kind of honesty and clarity is really important. You want a guide you can trust, who will prepare you well and be there to help you navigate any challenges. Also who is also realistic about what’s in their control.
When seeking trademark help, remember – “application” services are straight with you. They’re not making unrealistic promises. They focus on providing the best service and support while being upfront about expectations. That’s the kind of guide you want, whether climbing a mountain or registering a trademark.
My Trademark Applications Cost More: Here’s Why
I charge more than others for my trademark application service because my expertise and dedication provide a better long-term value.
Consider this: online filing mills often outsource to non-attorneys, prioritizing profits over quality. The USPTO has even disciplined attorneys for signing applications without proper review. Shockingly, statistics show you’re more likely to successfully register a trademark on your own than with these low-cost services.
On the other hand, larger law firms charge premium prices to cover their overhead. But are you truly getting the best value for your investment?
Let’s compare the pricing and success rates associated with various trademark application servicers.
Filing Method | Quoted Cost* | Cost Plus Hidden/Extra Fees* | % of Applications that become Registrations | Cost per Registration |
---|---|---|---|---|
Doing it yourself | $N/A | $250-$350 | 39% | $897 |
Online Filing Mills | $45 – $800 | $1252 on average | 27% | $4,630 |
Law Firms | $800 – $3,000 | $2662 on average | 48% | $5,5467 |

Thus, while law firms have higher success rates, the cost per registration is still substantial. That’s where Trademark Valet comes in.

How Long Does a Trademark Registration Last?
A trademark registration lasts indefinitely as long as you maintain it properly. You must file maintenance documents and pay fees every 5-6 years after registration. Between the 5th and 6th year, file a Declaration of Use. Between the 9th and 10th year, file a combined Declaration of Use and Renewal.
How Long Does Trademark Registration Take?
The trademark registration process typically takes 12-18 months from filing to registration, assuming no major issues arise. This timeline can vary based on the complexity of your application, potential office actions, and the current workload of the USPTO.
Do I Need a Lawyer to Register a Trademark?
For US residents, hiring a trademark lawyer is not legally required but often beneficial. Non-US residents, however, must hire a US-licensed attorney to file and prosecute applications. An experienced attorney can conduct thorough searches, navigate obstacles, respond to office actions, and increase registration success. For complex cases or international protection, professional legal guidance is particularly valuable.
How do I get a Registered Trademark?
To obtain a registered trademark, conduct a comprehensive search, file with the USPTO, respond to office actions, and await approval. The application should include your mark, goods/services description, and proper specimens. After publication and no oppositions, your mark will be registered.
