FAQ
One of the core questions is how much it costs to register a trademark in the US. The official fee depends on the number of classes, while a base fee is $250 for one class of goods or services. The experts of our company will give you a free consultation (up to 15 minutes) on all costs associated with registering a trademark in the United States.
A trademark application is filed online at the US Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) website. A trademark can be issued in the name of your company or in the name of an individual as an entrepreneur. You must provide the address, country of incorporation of the company or citizenship of the individual, a list of goods or services in accordance with international classification, provide an example of the use of the trademark in a special format, and the date of first use in the United States, appoint a local attorney.
When applying for a trademark in the United States, there must be evidence of use or intent to use it in the near future in the US.
It can take up to 12 months for a trademark registration certificate to be issued, and it involves further confirmation of its use after registration. It is obligatory to provide a declaration of use of the TM between the 5th and 6th year of the validity of the registration, as well as to renew the registration between the 9th and 10th year.
Moreover, once you file to the USPTO for trademark registration, you can start the process of registering with the Amazon Brand Registry, which offers many benefits for sellers on the Amazon marketplace.
