From $149 per noticeThe process
Four steps, and you only do the first one
You supply the brand details once. We handle classification, drafting, filing and everything the USPTO sends back.
- 01
Tell us about the brand
The mark, who owns it, what you sell, and when you started selling it. One form, about ten minutes.
- 02
We search and classify
A knock-out search of the federal register, the correct Nice class, and a goods and services description drafted against the Acceptable Identification Manual.
- 03
You approve the exact wording
Nothing is submitted until you have seen precisely what will be filed and confirmed the owner details and dates.
- 04
We file and then track it
Your serial number comes back the same day. We monitor the case through examination, publication and registration, and flag anything that needs a response.
Why owners choose us
Filing services are easy to find. Honest ones are not.
We tell you when to stop
If the search turns up a mark that will sink your application, you hear it before you pay the government fee. A filing we know will fail is not a sale worth making.
Fixed price, separate government fee
Our fee is on the page. The USPTO fee is quoted separately and paid to the USPTO. No bundled totals that hide which is which, and no surprise line items later.
We know where our limits are
We are not attorneys, and we do not pretend otherwise. Preparation and filing we handle. Oppositions, cancellations and litigation need counsel, and we will say so.
Pricing
Three packages, no hourly billing
Pick the level of checking you want before the application goes in. Government filing fees are always quoted and paid separately.

Client feedback
What people say once the paperwork is done
I came in with a lot of questions about trademark classes and the filing process. They gave me clear answers, handled the details, and made sure everything was filed correctly. It was much easier than I expected.
The trademark process felt overwhelming before I reached out. They helped me identify the right classification, explained exactly what was needed, and took care of the filing from start to finish. Very smooth experience.
I wasn’t sure how to classify my products for trademark protection, but they made the whole process simple. They explained my options, handled the classification, and got everything filed without the usual confusion.
Comments are from clients of Your Trademark Guide and describe their own filings. Every application is decided on its own facts by the USPTO.
