Let's protect what you've worked so hard to build.

As soon as you can, really. Even if you haven’t gotten any clients or made any sales yet, we can file what’s called an “Intent to Use” to begin the process of evaluating and protecting your chosen name, and update your application when you start to use the name publicly in commerce (sell something using the name).

Words, phrases, logos and symbols. You can’t trademark ideas or processes. Some examples of things I’ve trademarked for clients:

• Brand names
• Group program names
• Online courses
• Masterminds
• Podcasts
• Masterclasses
• Healthcare practices
• Physical products (e.g. journals and other tangible goods)
• Non-course digital products

Once you choose the “I’ll Pay in Installments!” button above, you’ll be taken to an initial screen where you’ll fill in your name, business name, and business email address. You’ll then be taken to a screen where you’ll review and e-sign the contract for trademark services, and on the next screen, you’ll see your invoice. At the bottom right, where you see the pink Klarna button, click to “Pay Now.” On the next screen, “Billing Information,” choose Klarna and click “Pay Now.” You’ll then be able to set up a Klarna account if you don’t already have one, and choose whatever payment plan you prefer (all options might not be available to you), and complete your payment.

If you are interested in multiple trademarks at a time and would like to pay in installments, please reach out to Mairin via email or the Contact Us form and we can roll those payments into a custom payment plan.

No, sorry. We do everything we can to maximize your chances of success. Our preliminary search is so comprehensive and thorough, we go into the application process armed with as much information as possible so we can really assess your likelihood of success. I walk you through what I’ve found in the search results, and if there is something I’ve found that’s concerning and could either prevent or impede successful registration, will work with you to tweak your chosen name if necessary. But nothing is fool-proof. At the end of the day, it’s a judgment call by the trademark examining attorney as to whether your name is too close to an existing name, or whether it’s too generic, or any other number of possible reasons for denial (which is why you work with an experienced lawyer to minimize those risks!)

No, sorry. We do everything we can to maximize your chances of approval. If after we complete our thorough search, we discover a conflict or something that makes us doubt your chances of success, we will contact you to discuss how to proceed. This could include tweaking your chosen name to bolster your likelihood of successful registration. I’ll provide you guidance every step of the way.

The only thing speedy about the trademark process is our response time to you. The entire process will likely take 14 months or longer given the backlog of the Trademark Office, so all the more reason to get started ASAP. Generally, after I complete my call with you, we’ll file your application within 2 weeks. It takes that long to conduct a thorough search, review and analyze all search results, and complete and file your application.

Yes, it’s an investment. We offer installment payments to make it a little easier for you. I will say that this is one of the most important things you can do for your brand, though, as it’s the only way to truly own your name and keep someone from using it.

As for Legal Zoom, I’d say beware. It might be less expensive upfront, but if you have questions, or the Trademark Office has questions/needs more information (which is not uncommon), you will have to pay additional fees, which you won’t know at the start. I’m not even sure if LZ gives you an actual lawyer or just facilitates the original connection. Either way, you need someone who is going to be with you from start to finish, someone who is an actual lawyer with experience, who can walk you through the process, level set your expectations, provide you updates, and answer any questions you have.

Yes. In fact, you can’t trademark a name from outside of the United States unless you work with a lawyer licensed in the United States. So you’re in the right place.

Yes! If you would like to purchase more than one trademark, we will discount additional trademarks by 50%. Two options for proceeding: either go ahead and purchase your trademark here and we can chat on our call about your second (or third) trademarks which will be invoiced separately (they can be rolled into a payment plan, too), or reach out via the Contact form with specific details around what you want to trademark and how many trademarks you’re interested in, or email or DM us on Instagram if we’re connected, and we can roll all of your trademarks into one payment plan and get them knocked out simultaneously.

Unfortunately, no. The Trademark Office requires a name and logo to be filed separately, as it’s two different applications, two different sets of searches, and different sets of evidence required to be submitted with each application. We can trademark both simultaneously, however, but it is two separate applications. I recommend either trademarking both your name and logo at the same time, or, first trademarking your name and then trademarking your logo later. Please contact us via the Contact form about trademarking both your name and logo if you want to do both now.
