Why Trademark Registration Matters

Your trademark is more than a name or a logo—it’s the promise of your business. It tells customers who you are and what you stand for. A federal U.S. registration with the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) gives you legal strength, nationwide priority, and the ability to enforce exclusive rights to use your mark in connection with your goods or services.

Without registration, you may have rights through use—but an unregistered mark often lacks the full layer of protection, recognition by investors and potential partners, and a clear deterrent against copying. At Protectors of Tech, we help you turn your brand into a defensible asset that supports growth, licensing and even exit possibilities.

What Makes a Strong Trademark?

Selecting the right mark matters—and strength often translates into easier registration and stronger protection. According to the USPTO, the strongest marks are fanciful, arbitrary or suggestive—not simply descriptive of the goods or services.

Examples:

“Kodak” for cameras (fanciful)
“Apple” for computers (arbitrary)
“Greyhound” for bus services (suggestive)

Marks that are too generic or descriptive face higher risk of refusal or opposition. Our attorneys help you evaluate and refine your mark early so you begin on the best possible footing.

Our Trademark Registration Process

We follow a clear, strategic workflow to make registration efficient, smart and aligned with your business goals:

1. Discovery & Clearance

We begin by understanding your brand, your goods and services, and your strategic goals. Then we conduct a thorough trademark search and clearance analysis to assess whether your proposed mark is strong, registrable and free from conflicting marks. A stronger mark means fewer obstacles ahead.

2. Application Strategy

Next, we work with you to define the correct filing basis (e.g., “Use in Commerce” vs. “Intent to Use”), identify the appropriate class(es) of goods/services, and craft the mark format (standard character, stylized/design, sound mark) that maximizes your protection.

3. Prepare & File with USPTO

Our team prepares the application with precise descriptions of goods or services (aligned with the USPTO’s Acceptable Identification of Goods and Services Manual), drafts your mark specification, and handles filing via Trademark Center. From there, we monitor your application and keep you updated.

4. Respond & Advise During Examination

After filing, your application is reviewed by a USPTO examining attorney. If issues arise (such as office actions related to likelihood of confusion or descriptiveness), we guide your response, argue on your behalf, and help you navigate to registration.

5. Registration & Long-Term Maintenance

Once your mark is approved and registered, we don’t just step away. We advise on proper mark use, monitor renewal deadlines (including the 5th–6th and 9th–10th year filings), and help you build a strategy for policing your mark and expanding international protection if relevant.

FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions

Find answers to common questions about trademark registration.

Do I need to use my trademark in commerce before filing?

Not necessarily. You can file based on actual use (“Use in Commerce”) or based on a bona fide intention to use (“Intent to Use”). Filing on intent reserves your rights while you start using the mark.

Can I protect my trademark internationally?

Yes. If you are expanding into other countries, you can use the Madrid Protocol to file an international registration covering multiple countries in a single streamlined process.

How long does the trademark registration process take?

While the timeline varies depending on complexity and backlog, many applications move through examination and without major objections in approximately 8-12 months, sometimes longer if issues arise.

What happens after registration?

Post-registration, you still need to monitor proper mark use, renew your registration on time, and watch for potential infringers or mis-use of your brand. We help you set up these systems.

What is a patent?

In the U.S., a patent is a property right granted by the U.S. Government to an inventor "to exclude others from making, using, offering for sale, or selling the invention" for a limited time in exchange for public disclosure of the invention.

What types of patents do you handle?

We handle both utility patents and design patents. Our attorneys have expertise in various technical fields including software, electronics, data storage, AI, semiconductor devices, and more.

How long does it take to prepare and file my patent application?

Preparing and filing your patent application typically takes 3-6 weeks from our initial invention disclosure session. The variance depends on the complexity of the invention, and the results of a prior art search.

What is the difference between a provisional and non-provisional patent application?

A provisional patent application establishes a priority date and gives you 'patent pending' status for up to 12 months, but a provisional patent application is not examined and must be "converted" to a non-provisional within a year or it goes abandoned. A non-provisional application is a formal patent application that is examined by the USPTO and thus can result in an issued patent.

How much does it cost to obtain a patent?

The cost of obtaining a patent can depend on the complexity of the invention, the type of patent sought, and other factors. We provide upfront, transparent, flat fee pricing so you know exactly what you will pay before the work starts. In fact, just put "Patent Fees" in the contact us form, and we will send you our fees.

What can and cannot be patented?

What can be patented?

Utility patents are provided for a new, nonobvious and useful:

- Process

- Machine

- Article of manufacture

- Composition of matter

- Improvement of any of the above

Design patents are provided for the ornamental design of an article of manufacture.

Plant patents are provided for asexually reproduced plant varieties.

What cannot be patented:

- Laws of nature

- Physical phenomena

- Abstract ideas

- Literary, musical, and artistic works (these can be Copyright protected)

How long does it take to get a patent?

While the exact time to receive a notice of allowance varies, on average it takes between 20 to 30 months for a new non-provisional patent application. There are different ways to expedite this process and we will go over those with you to see if it would make sense for you to pursue an expedited process.
