As a flat fee trademark attorney serving clients nationwide, I make sure your trademark is built right, from search to registration to defense, with direct attorney access and no billable-hour surprises.
I'm an intellectual property and business attorney based in Northern California. I focus on trademarks because I believe your brand name is one of your most valuable business assets, and most business owners don't realize how easy it is to lose it.
Unlike the DIY filing services you've seen advertised, I don't just submit whatever you type. I evaluate your mark strategically: reviewing existing registrations, identifying real risks, and building an application designed to succeed. When the USPTO pushes back, I know how to respond.
Trademark rights in the U.S. generally favor whoever files first. Every month you wait is a month a competitor could register a similar name and block you from using your own brand.
If another business holds rights to a similar mark, they can demand you stop using your name. At that point you're choosing between a legal fight or a complete rebrand.
Rebranding means new signage, new packaging, a new website, new marketing materials, and lost customer recognition. The cost almost always exceeds what registration would have been.
Every package includes direct attorney access and representation throughout the USPTO examination process. Handled by Michelle, start to finish.
Pay in two parts: 50% before the search and 50% before the application. Decide not to proceed after the search? You don't owe the remaining 50%.

Book a ConsultationThe package price is the price. But you pay it in two steps, and the second step only happens if you choose to move forward.
I search for conflicts and give you my honest assessment of whether your mark is a good candidate for registration.
If the results look risky, or you simply change your mind, you stop here. You don't owe the remaining 50%.
Only if you choose to proceed. I draft and file your application and handle everything through registration.
All packages cover US trademark registrations only. Additional USPTO filing fees apply for each class beyond the first. The consultation fee is credited toward your package if you move forward within 14 days.
We discuss your brand, your business, and your goals. I'll tell you what I see and what I recommend.
I run a thorough search across USPTO databases and common-law sources to flag any conflicts. Then you decide whether to file. No obligation to continue.
I draft and submit a complete, strategically crafted application. Not just a form with your name typed in.
If the USPTO raises any issues, I respond. You get updates at every stage through your client portal.
