Ready to own your brand with a trademark?

Having a registered trademark is the best way to get exclusive ownership rights over your brand while giving you the peace of mind that it’s protected from copycats.

 

Schedule a Trademark Consultation ($97)

See below for why we charge for consultations + average cost of services

Please note: if you wish to cancel a scheduled appointment you may do so and receive a full refund provided cancellation was made at least 24 hours prior to your appointment. If cancellation is made less than 24 hours in advance of your scheduled appointment no refunds will be issued and rescheduling the appointment is at the sole discretion of Kelli Jones Law, PLLC.

Disclaimer: scheduling a consultation does not form an attorney-client relationship.

*Pricing varies based on the number of applications, the number of classes of goods/services we are filing in, and the type of application but begins at $3000 + filing fees.*

 

Many business owners think that having an LLC secures their name; however, this is not the case.

 

If you want to own your name and prevent others from using it for similar products or services, you need a trademark.

 

Having a federal trademark:

  • Gives you presumed ownership over your trademark in connection with your goods and/or services;

  • Priority over your name in the U.S.;

  • Protection against similar trademarks filed after yours;

  • Gives you the right to use ® in the U.S.;

  • Gives you the right to sue for infringement in federal court;

  • Helps with enforcing infringement online;

  • Provides public notice of your ownership;

  • Basis to register a trademark in other countries; and

  • Is one of the most valuable assets in your business.

Don't wait until your business grows to trademark.

 

By then your name or brand may not be entitled to trademark protection - or worse, you could be infringing on someone else's name and be forced to entirely re-brand.

 

Proactive cost:

a few thousand (we have payment plans!)

Reactive cost:

fighting for your brand in court will likely cost you 35x more than that ($95,000 is the average), or be forced into rebranding

Why We Charge for Trademark Consultations:

 
 

It’s not just a free discovery call to see if we’re a fit to work together.

 

CONFLICTS

  • When you share the words that you want to trademark with us on a call, we are then conflicted out of working with someone else that may have a similar trademark within a similar industry.

  • In some instances, even if the 1st party didn’t end up hiring us, we still may not be able to represent you either, because we already heard their side and know enough information that makes us unable to represent you too.

  • This means there’s an increased potential for lost income. By taking that 1st consultation, we are potentially barred from some future work.

LEGAL ADVICE

  • We cannot give legal advice to you during a free consult.

  • An important part of the call is to see if there are any major red flags right away that would make trademarking your brand difficult. That is legal advice.

  • Often, people think something is just a “quick question” or simple answer, but giving legal advice is actually required. This means you then may rely on that legal advice… AND come back to use if it does not work in your favor.

  • This means we are taking a risk. If we are taking on that liability, we cannot do so for free.

Ready for a consultation?

We’ll go over the process, timeline, and answer your questions.

But we’ll also tell you if there are any major red flags either with a potential conflicting mark that can be seen just from a basic free search on the USPTO, AND whether the mark can actually function as a trademark.

Scroll up to schedule a consultation. We can’t wait to learn more about you and the brand you want to protect!
