Helping you protect your intellectual property
A trademark application is not merely filing your application with the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO). It requires proper research before filing to make sure that your application is likely to succeed. Our Wesley Chapel trademark lawyers do this by first conducting a comprehensive search and report so you are fully informed before filing your trademark application.
Once a client understands and confirms that they want to move forward with the trademark application, we file the application, which may require a specific strategy depending on the results of the comprehensive search report.
Although you can file a statewide application, in today’s digital age, a federal trademark application may be better for your Wesley Chapel business. We help clients file their trademark applications in the greater Pasco area including Wiregrass Ranch, The Grove at Wesley Chapel, Seven Oaks, Meadow Pointe, Epperson, Land O’ Lakes, Lutz, Zephyrhills, New Tampa, and Tampa Bay, contact us today.

What Our Clients Say
Trademark and Copyright FAQ
A trademark is anything that distinguishes your brand’s products and services. Almost anything that identifies your brand can be trademarked, including:
- Company name
- Logo
- Product name
- Product shapes and packaging designs
- Slogan or catchphrase
- Symbol
- Design
- Typeface
- Color or color scheme
- Jingle
- Sound
- Characters
- YouTube Channel Names
Your trademark lasts as long as you are using the mark in commerce. Since trademark rights are acquired through use, you have to keep using them to maintain your trademark rights.
The approval process may take a few months (six or more) and depends on the United States Patent and Trademark Office’s (USPTO) load. However, your trademark protection starts when you file your application.
No. The USPTO filing fees are not refundable, even when your application is rejected. However, part of our firm’s process is to do a risk analysis before filing.
Filing your LLC only protects your business name from being used by other companies in the state of registration. However, registering your trademark will protect it nationwide and discourage competitors from using the name or similar-sounding names. Registering your trademark allows you to sue someone using your name, whereas the LLC name overlap does not give you that right.
If you register your trademark application yourself, you risk your application being rejected, incorrectly filing the application which may result in the wrong protections, delaying the process and wasting money, and you will need to stand up for yourself in the case of an infringement issue against you.
