Fixed Cost Trademark registration

Fixed Cost Trademark registration

The trademark registration process often leads to cost blowout. During examination, the examiner may raise an adverse examination report, such as where the examiner believes that a trademark application conflicts with an earlier filed trademark, or that the trademark application is too descriptive of the nominated goods and services.

In addressing the issues raised by the examiner, one must respond formally by way of responses to the adverse examination report. This is where most trademark attorneys make the bulk of their fees, wherein cost can oftentimes blowout to three times the initially anticipated cost.

Furthermore, it may take 6 to 11 weeks for an adverse examination report to issue, but which time branding, domain and company registration and the like may already have been undertaken. Also, in such a case, an applicant cannot change the trademark representation or broaden or change the scope of the nominated goods and services, often leaving the objection impossible to overcome.

However, Trademarkify clients don't receive adverse examination reports. We use an enhanced examination process where if there is a problem we are simply able to discuss the problems with the examiner to attempt to overcome the objections. In this way, Trademarkify clients don't receive further invoices if the examiner raises issues during the application process.

Also, if, in the rare instance that there is an insurmountable objection, we are still in a position to change the trademark representation, meaning applicants are additionally in a position to amend to overcome an objection.

Yet further, in terms of timing, we are able to achieve examination in less than 5 days, allowing for quick answers, especially useful pending launch.
