What you get
Everything a US trademark gives you — and everything we handle
A US federal registration, granted by the USPTO, gives you nationwide exclusive rights to your brand name, logo, or slogan for the goods and services you sell. Without it, your rights are limited to the areas where you can prove you were already using the mark.
Your rights once it’s registered
- The legal right to use the federal ® symbol on your brand.
- A nationwide presumption of ownership and validity.
- The right to sue infringers in federal court and recover damages.
- A basis to extend protection to 130+ countries through the Madrid System.
- A public record that puts every other US business on notice of your rights.
What’s included when you file with GTC
Every step is handled by your US-licensed attorney — not a paralegal or an automated form.
-
Attorney-led clearance search
A federal and common-law search with a US attorney's read on your odds — plus a free second search if your first mark conflicts.
-
Drafted & filed by your attorney
Your classes chosen and the application prepared and filed with the USPTO; your attorney is counsel of record.
-
Office Actions handled
Responses to standard procedural Office Actions, included at no extra cost§.
-
A year of aftercare
One year of post-registration attorney representation, included.
-
Enforcement head-start
An attorney-drafted cease-and-desist template to help you stop misuse of your mark.

- USPTO government fee ($350.00 × 1)$350.00
- Payment processing (5% on govt fees)$17.50

What makes up your price
-
$200.00GTC attorney fee$200.00 first class, $150.00 each additional — clearance search, drafting, classification, filing, and standard prosecution by a US-licensed attorney.
-
$350.00 / classUSPTO government feePaid directly to the US government, at cost. Non-refundable, even if your application is refused.
-
≈$17.50 / classPayment processingA 5% fee on the government fees we collect on your behalf, itemised separately before you pay.
Only if it applies: a Statement of Use ($150.00 USPTO + $100.00 attorney) if you filed Intent-to-Use, and substantive refusals quoted upfront before any work§ — never a surprise.
What it costs to keep it
A US registration can last forever. The first maintenance filing (a Section 8 Declaration of Use) is due between years 5 and 6, then renewals every 10 years thereafter. We track every deadline for the life of your portfolio so nothing lapses by accident.

Your request
Select every country or region you want protection in — we price each separately.
The exact word or slogan to protect — spelling, capitalization and spacing all matter.
Word only (e.g. NIKE), logo only (the swoosh), or both — this changes what we can protect.
💡 Not sure? Choose "Combined" if your brand uses both a logo and text together.
If your mark uses foreign words or non-Latin script, offices require a translation/transliteration.
How it works
Three steps. One US attorney. Zero guesswork.
Free attorney-led knockout search
Tell us your brand name and class. A US-licensed attorney runs a USPTO knockout search and tells you — in plain English — whether to file, refine, or pivot. No charge, no obligation.
We prepare and file with the USPTO
We draft your goods/services description, classify correctly, prepare the specimen, and file directly with the USPTO. Your attorney's name appears on the application as counsel of record.
We handle the USPTO from filing to registration
Office Actions, examiner calls, deadlines, publication, and final registration — your attorney monitors and responds. You get notified at every milestone.
How long
From search to registered — what to expect, and when
Most US applications take 12 to 18 months end to end. Filing is fast; the long wait is the USPTO’s examination queue. Here’s the honest timeline.

- * Attorney representation.
- Every US trademark application filed through GTC is prepared and filed by a US-licensed attorney who appears as counsel of record on the USPTO application. Foreign-domiciled applicants are required by USPTO rule to be represented by a US attorney.
- † USPTO filing fees.
- The USPTO charges $350 per class of goods or services, paid directly to the US government and passed through at cost. A 5% payment-processing fee applies to government fees paid through us (about $17.50 per class), itemised separately before you pay. Government fees and refund treatment across every service we offer are governed by our Refund & Credit Policy.
- § Procedural Office Actions.
- Standard procedural Office Action responses (specimen replacements, identification clarifications, disclaimer requirements, minor amendments) are included in the new-filing service fee. Substantive refusals — including §§ 2(d) likelihood of confusion and 2(e) descriptiveness — are quoted upfront before any further work begins. See scope of work for the full breakdown.
- ‡ Refusal & success statistics.
- Roughly 40% of US trademark applications receive at least one Office Action, and likelihood-of-confusion (Section 2(d)) is the most common refusal, affecting about one in five applications (USPTO trademark statistics, 2023–24). Applicants represented by counsel register at materially higher rates than self-filed applicants — about 60% versus 46% across a study of ~5.4 million applications (D. Gerhardt & J. McClanahan, “Do Trademark Lawyers Matter?”).
