File Your Trademark — Filing Only (No Search)
This option is for clients who want to proceed with preparing and filing a U.S. trademark application only. $797 Attorney fee (does NOT include USPTO filing fees)
No trademark search or legal opinion regarding availability or registrability is included as part of this filing engagement. Even if a trademark search was previously conducted (by our firm or otherwise), this option is limited to filing services only and does not include any evaluation, confirmation, or reliance on prior search results unless expressly stated in a separate agreement.
This filing-only engagement covers preparation and submission of the trademark application and remains open for up to six (6) months from the date of engagement. If the filing is not completed within that timeframe, a new engagement may be required.
This is the fastest and lowest-cost way to file — and also the highest-risk option.
Important details about this filing option
These questions explain what is included, what is not included, and what to expect if you choose to proceed with a filing-only trademark application.
What does this filing option include?
With this option, the Firm will:
•Prepare your U.S. trademark application based on the information you provide
•File the application with the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO)
•Handle the engagement as a limited, filing-only service
This option is intentionally narrow in scope and focused solely on preparing and submitting the application.
What is not included with this option?
This filing-only option does not include:
•A trademark search
•A legal opinion regarding availability, registrability, or risk
•Review or analysis of prior search results
•Assessment of potential conflicts with existing trademarks
Filing without a search increases the risk of refusal or future disputes. By choosing this option, you are proceeding without first evaluating those risks.
Why would someone choose this option?
Clients typically choose this option when:
•Speed matters more than certainty
•Budget is a primary consideration
•They understand and accept higher risk
•They prefer to file now and address issues only if issues arise later
This can be a reasonable choice when made knowingly and intentionally.
What fees are covered, and what happens next?
This option covers *attorney filing fees only.*
Government filing fees charged by the USPTO are separate and will be required before submission. Nothing will be filed unless you review and sign the filing agreement.
The next step is simply to review the agreement and decide whether you want to proceed.
This filing-only engagement covers preparation and submission of the trademark application and remains open for up to six (6) months from the date of engagement. If the filing is not completed within that timeframe, a new engagement may be required.
