Why register a trademark
Legal ownership
You get the exclusive right to use your brand for your products across the USA.
Amazon Brand Registry
Unlock A+ Content, Brand Store, Sponsored Brands ads and tools to remove copycat sellers.
Stop copycats
A registered mark makes it much easier to take action against people who copy your brand.
Business value
A trademark is an asset. It adds value when you sell or license your brand.

Timeline
A US trademark usually takes 12 to 18 months from filing to registration when there are no objections. In most cases Amazon Brand Registry accepts a pending application, so you can apply to Brand Registry soon after filing.
Fees
The USPTO charges a government fee for each class of goods or services.
Frequently Asked Questions
Should I register my name or my logo?
If you can only register one, register the brand name. It gives the widest protection. You can add the logo later.
What is a class?
The USPTO sorts all products and services into 45 classes. You pay for each class you want protection in.
Can the USPTO refuse my trademark?
Yes. That is why we do a search first. A search lowers the risk, but no one can promise that an application will be approved.
How long does a trademark last?
It can last forever if you keep using it and file the required renewals. The first is due between the fifth and sixth year, and then every ten years.
Do I need a US LLC to file a trademark?
No. You can file as a person or through a company from any country.
