A sample of client trademark registrations and live USPTO record links.
We follow a disciplined three-step workflow to identify evidentiary gaps and provide the USPTO with the specific proof of use they require.
We conduct a detailed review of the USPTO refusal to identify why your original specimen was rejected, from image quality to improper labeling.
Our team guides you in preparing a new, compliant specimen—such as point-of-sale materials or verified website screenshots—that meets federal standards.
We format your corrected evidence and draft the necessary declarations to ensure your submission addresses all examiner concerns and restores your application's standing.
Process Overview
Nature of Use: The specimen fails to show a direct link between the trademark and the specific goods or services listed in your application.
Technical Deficiencies: Submissions that include poor-quality images, lack a verified URL/date for websites, or appear to be digitally altered.
Non-Commercial Material: Using internal memos or purely promotional materials that do not demonstrate an actual "point of sale" or bona fide use in commerce.
Substantive Refusal: Even if your brand is unique, a defective specimen can lead to an Office Action that halts your entire registration process.
Risk of Abandonment: Failure to submit a compliant substitute specimen within the statutory window results in the automatic loss of your application.
Compounded Delays: Attempting to fix a specimen without a structured approach often leads to secondary refusals and increased legal complexity.
Still have questions?
Straightforward answers about trademark filing, USPTO fees, and support options.
The $45 service fee covers intake, preparation support, and filing guidance for your trademark application. USPTO government filing fees are separate and are paid per class of goods or services.
Usually, each mark should be filed in its own application. A business name, logo, and slogan may need separate filings if you want each element protected on its own.
Yes. If you have a bona fide plan to use the mark, you may be able to file on an intent-to-use basis. The USPTO will still require proof of use before registration is completed.
An Office Action is a USPTO request for clarification, amendment, or legal response. We can review the issue and help prepare the response needed to keep the application moving.
Amazon Brand Registry generally requires an active registered trademark or eligible pending application. We help align your filing details with marketplace enrollment requirements.
Similar marks can sometimes coexist when the goods, services, or customer channels are different. A trademark search helps identify risk before you file.
