SEARCHES - $239 (2 Day Service)

Before an individual applies for a federal trademark, it is highly recommended they do an initial search to see if the trademark is available for registration. Trademarks, Etc. will do a broad based search covering FEDERAL and STATE trademark databases and "Common Law" sources as well. We will search your desired Mark and variations of your Mark in your specific classification. The cost of the search is $239 and will cover the following:

* The up-to-date FEDERAL TRADEMARK REGISTER which includes information on all registered, pending, and inactive trademarks. This will include all intent-to-use applications as well.

* The up-to-date U.S. STATE TRADEMARK REGISTER covering all 50 states.

* COMMON LAW SOURCES, including the "Acxiom" database: a directory containing over 12,000,000 company names, the Cumulative List of Organizations published by the U.S. Internal RevenueService: a database of over 500,000 non-profit organizations, and the Gale Group: a directory of over 60,000 computer hardware and software names.

FILINGS - $180 (2 Day Service)

Per your request, Trademarks, Etc. will prepare the forms on your behalf. This will entail your application page, your drawing page, and samples of your specimens (if the application is based on a "use of the mark in commerce"). The cost of this service is $180. We will electronically forward the application onto you for your review, approval, and "e-signature." The application will then be electronically submitted to the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office with their fee requirement of $325.

If the application is an "intent to use" one, meaning that the Mark is not in use yet, the PTO will require a "statement of use" form if they approve the application for registration. An additional filing fee of $100 must accompany the "statement of use" form. The PTO will notify you of this approximately 12 months after filing.

* Filing services not available to TX residents.
