week 1
Analyze Competitor Trademarks
First, we do a lot of trademark research to see if there may be issues or risks with your trademark application.
Not-so-fun fact: over 50% of trademark applications get refused. That’s why working with an experienced trademark attorney is so important.
Good-to-know: If we’re not successful in getting your trademark registered, your next one is 100% on us (including filing fee for ONE class).
Analyze Competitor Trademarks
Within 2-3 weeks of signing up with Sleight Law, our trademark attorneys will have your tradehmark application completed and submitted to the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, aka the USPTO.
week 2
month 10
Because half a million of trademarks are filed each year, it generally takes up to 9-10 months for the USPTO to start reviewing your trademark application. From there, your trademark registration needs to go through different stages of review before it will be successful. We’ll keep you posted throughout this trademark filing process.
Trademark Registered
On average, it takes 9-12 months to register a trademark. Depending on various issues, it could take longer or get rejected entirely.
When we receive news of your registration (wahoo!), our team celebrates with you! You can expect some sweet gifts from us!

Why not handle trademarks yourself?
Not sure if NOW is the time to trademark?
Meet Ashley. Ashley runs a thriving, multiple-six figure company, and she waited to take care of trademarks because that’s what her trusted advisors and coaches recommended. But after getting blindsided by a cease and desist letter and being forced to rebrand, she came to Sleight Law for help. Here’s what Ashley has to say about her biggest lessons learned.
Why Sleight Law over other law firms & legal options?
Great question. Here’s our friend Harlan Shillinger to share his thoughts. Harlan is a legal marketing expert, and he knows LOTS of attorneys and law firms. In this video, Harlan shares his thoughts about what made working with Sleight Law special and why he recommends our trademark service over other law firms.

STILL GOT QUESTIONS?
We’ve Got Answers!
What should I trademark first?
#1 | BUSINESS NAME (WORDS ONLY)
Your business name is likely your most valuable trademark. It’s smart to get that trademark protection first!
#2 | FLAGSHIP PRODUCT OR SERVICE
Do you have a popular product line? An online program? A podcast? Those are protectable as trademarks as well.
#3 | SLOGAN, CATCHPHRASE, MOTTO, OR MISSION STATEMENT
You will eventually want to protect these with trademarks. You want to be proactive about these trademarks so that another business doesn’t claim these in the future and force you to rebrand.
#4 | STYLIZED NAMES + LOGOS
Most trademark applications protect the “words only” of the trademark. But if your branding has a particular stylizing or look to it, that can have IP protection as well.
#5 | YOUR SOMEDAY/MAYBE STUFF
Are you considering a rebrand, a name for a new business, or a slogan you want to start using? It’s possible to apply for a trademark before you even start using it. In fact, this is what our biggest clients do so that they can lock in trademark protections before they spend time or money committing to the brand.
What does a federal registration give me that I don't already have?
How long will this take?
When you sign up, we will get right to work for you and have your trademark application submitted in 2-3 weeks. After we apply, however, it could take 10-20 months or longer to work its way through the US trademark office.
When can I start using the TM or ® symbols?
What if I decide to not apply after seeing my search report?
If you review our comprehensive trademark search report and decide not to apply with that trademark, you can receive a complimentary second comprehensive search on a different trademark. If ultimately, you decide not to proceed, we will refund the cost of unused service.
What if my application gets rejected?
What happens after my application gets accepted?
Are government filing fees included in Sleight Law's packages?
No. Applying for a trademark registration requires a filing fee per class (or category of goods/services). Our packages do not include trademark filing fees for your trademark application. Trademark filing fees for any classes will be collected from you before we submit the trademark application.
What are the advantages of an "intent to use" application?
What if I live outside the United States?
A U.S. trademark registration offers strong, nationwide exclusive protections. But those exclusive rights do not extend beyond the United States. Still, if your business is based outside the United States, we can still help! As long as you are selling to customers in the United States, you are able to seek a U.S. trademark registration.
Can I enforce my trademark rights while my application is pending?
Otherwise, there is a risk that your exclusive trademark rights will weaken if you wait to enforce your rights.
You Still Here?
Look, we know the legal side is scary. But if you made it this far, then you also know it’s super important. Why don’t we schedule a free trademark consult
(did we say it’s free?!) and see if we’d be a good fit for each other?
