Registering your trademark provides legal protection against unauthorized use and establishes your exclusive rights to the mark.
It also enhances your brand’s value by allowing you to use the ® symbol and creates a public record of your ownership, which can deter infringement.
Trademark registration typically takes about 8 to 12 months from the filing date, depending on the USPTO’s examination and any challenges encountered.
Delays can occur if there are office actions or oppositions, but our attorneys work diligently to respond as quickly as possible to keep the process moving.
