TRADEMARKS
You don’t need a statement graphic T to make a statement. You can let your brand do the talking. And once you have a brand you love, you need to tell others to back off with authority.
You have some minor protections when you start using a brand name, but to really protect it you must file a trademark registration application with the USPTO.

Tell others to back off
Once you come up with a fab name, you gotta stop others from using it. And to do that, you need a registered trademark.
Protect Your Investment
Once you’ve become known for a name, making a change can sting. Registering your mark can help ensure you’re free and clear to use that name.
Increase Your Brand Value
Having free and clear ownership of your marks also increases the value of your business, which is huge if you ever plan to sell.
OUR PROCESS
Here’s a breakdown of how our process works to get your trademark registered.
STEP 1 - QUICKIE SEARCH
First, we do a quick search to check the likelihood of approval before you pay the full trademark filing fee; OR we check several names before you decide on a new brand, product, or program name.
We will give you a green, yellow, orange, or red flag on your search report.
Cost - $100
STEP 2 - APPLICATION
If you wish to move forward after the search, we will strategize with you on the best route to file and prepare the application.
Cost - $1,250
STEP 3 - Review, Sign, File
After completing the application, we will send it to you for your review and signature. Once signed, we pay the filing fee and submit.
All trademark applications follow the same general process. After step 3, it’s in hands of the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).
4. Examination
After you file, an examiner from the USPTO will review your application. Nowadays, it typically taking 8-12 months. If the examiner sees any issues with your application, they will issue an office action. We handle minor office actions in your scope of work. Any substantive issues or arguments are billed at an additional fee.
4. Publication
Once the examiner gives your mark the thumbs up, it goes to publication giving others the opportunity to dispute your mark for about 3 months.
5. Registration
If your mark makes it through publication, it will officially be registered on the primary registry. This is where our scope of work ends.
"Purchasing the Trademark Search Quickie was an absolute game-changer for me. Thanks to Brayden's ingenious offering, I didn't have to spend hours consulting with an attorney to figure out my next steps. The process was quick, effective, and incredibly insightful.

The straightforward answers and actionable next steps provided me with the confidence to make informed decisions. I wholeheartedly recommend this product to anyone navigating the intricacies of trademarks—it's a must-have in your toolkit!"

"Trademarks are quite the journey, and not one I’d want to take alone. I worked with Braden and the Not AVG Law team to file 5 trademarks. They got them filed quickly, handled the back-and-forth communication through the year long process, and kept me in the loop. It was an easy process on my end, and I feel so much better knowing I have full ownership over my brand."
