Federal Trademark Registration
WE ARE TALKIN’ NATIONWIDE PROTECTION & FULL ON OWNERSHIP
Before we begin, let’s cover some basics. What is a trademark? A trademark is a brand identifier. This can be your brand name, logo, slogan, color (think tiffany’s blue or UPS brown), sound etc.
I know you’re so proud of what you are building for my new business owners OR what you have built for my seasoned owners! Let’s not only make sure you own everything but let’s make sure you can protect it from copycats.
The only way to OWN your brand/logo/slogan and to assert your rights against others who try to use your intellectual property ideas is through a registered federal trademark.
Hold on Sientje, what if I have a state trademark? Honestly, great! Fantastic! You can fend off others in your state but what if you plan to expand? What if your business gets a copycat in another state? Surely you want FULL PROTECTION. This is why having a Federal Trademark is important.

HELP! I submitted my application and received an office action! What do I do?
I got you. Whether you received a substantive (most common is a 2d refusal) or one of various non-substantive office actions, we can go over the USPTO Examiner’s report and plan a roadmap for your next steps on how to respond.
can i revive an abandon trademark application with the uspto?
Maybe. I know lawyer’s are the only ones who love this answer. You have TWO months to revive an abandon USPTO trademark application. If you miss out, it’s okay, we now have the tools to re-apply knowing what we know from the previous office action to craft an even better application that will be most likely to succeed.
