In the past decade, the U.S. federal government has embraced the Information Age, automating and simplifying many paper-based processes that took an army of employees months or years to complete. The United States Patent and Trademark Office has several electronic systems to smooth the process for filing trademarks, including an online application form and trademark search tool.
Although the government has reduced the number of papers that employees push along to one another, it has not eliminated the circuitous maze that trademark applications must navigate. Some people might be surprised to learn that getting a trademark symbol and trademark for their company or brand name isn’t as simple as registering the name with USPTO unless someone else has already claimed the trademark. Instead of a simple registration process, the USPTO puts you through an application examination process that could result in rejection if you don’t provide adequate, timely information.
In a world of instant gratification, many business owners also might be surprised that the trademark application process typically takes about six months. That’s if your application flows through the process smoothly and does not encounter hiccups. And there are plenty of stages that could snag your application. A professional attorney who is well-versed in navigating the USPTO trademark application process can help guide you from start to finish.
