Trademark Search + 30-Minute Attorney Session
This option is for clients who want clarity before filing a trademark application.
It includes a trademark search and a 30-minute attorney session to review the results, explain potential risks, and discuss next steps.
Filing is not included and is handled separately if and when you decide to proceed.
Important details about the search-first option
The questions below explain what is included in the search-first option, how the attorney review works, and what happens next depending on your decision.
What does the search-first option include?
With this option, the Firm will:
•Conduct a trademark search focused on identifying potentially conflicting marks
•Review the search results
•Provide a 30-minute attorney session to:
•Explain the results in plain language
•Discuss risks, strengths, and potential concerns
•Answer your questions
•Talk through available filing options
This option is intended to give you context and clarity before deciding how to move forward.
Does this option include filing my trademark?
No. This option does not include filing a trademark application.
If you decide to move forward after the search and attorney session:
•Filing will be handled under a separate filing-only agreement
•Nothing is filed automatically
•You choose whether, when, and how to proceed
This separation ensures that filing is a deliberate and informed decision.
What does the 30-minute attorney session cover?
During the attorney session, we will:
•Walk through the search results
•Explain potential risks and issues identified
•Discuss the relative strength of the proposed mark
•Answer your questions
•Help you understand your filing options
This session is educational and strategic. It does not guarantee registration or approval.
Does a trademark search guarantee approval or protection?
No. A trademark search can help identify potential conflicts, but it does not guarantee approval by the USPTO or prevent future disputes.
Even with a search, risks can still exist. The purpose of this option is to reduce uncertainty, not eliminate it entirely.
A design or logo search does not guarantee that the design can be registered or protected, and does not replace a full evaluation of all branding elements.
What fees are covered, and what happens next?
This option covers attorney search and review services only, including the 30-minute attorney session.
•$595 for a wordmark search
•$695 if your mark includes a logo or other design elements
Filing fees and USPTO government fees are not included. After the attorney session, you can decide whether to proceed with filing under a separate filing-only agreement.
Nothing will be filed unless you choose to move forward.
What if I decide not to file after the search?
That’s completely fine. Many clients use the search and attorney session to evaluate their options before deciding whether to file, revise their brand, or take additional time.
There is no obligation to proceed with filing.
