Protecting your brand is crucial for your business, and registering a trademark is a key step in that process. While the USPTO provides information and guides, navigating the registration process can be overwhelming, making it essential to consult a trademark attorney.
What to Expect
- Schedule a Consultation: During this meeting, the attorney will inquire about your business, brand, and future plans. To make the most of it, come prepared:
- Send Your Materials: Provide your logo in color and black-and-white, product photos, brochures, and advertisements.
- Document Usage: If the mark is in use, note the dates of first use, such as first sales or advertisements.
- Outline New Marks: If the mark is not yet in use, describe your plans, including products or services and potential launch dates.
- Company Details: Review your company documents, including entity type, state of formation, and officer names.
- Identify a Decision Maker: Designate a primary contact for efficient communication.
- Ask Questions and Prepare: Review your materials beforehand, formulate questions, and be ready to make decisions. This preparation will help streamline the process and allow your attorney to work more effectively.
