Trademarks & Copyrights

A registered mark, filed by the attorney who searches it first

U.S. trademark clearance, filing, and prosecution before the USPTO, plus copyright registration. Flat legal fees, for founders and brands in Los Angeles and across California. Foreign brands and foreign counsel: direct U.S. representation for USPTO trademark matters, at foreign-associate rates by email.

Trademark filing and copyright registration

One flat fee covers a direct filing: search, application, and prosecution through registration. A mark that sits close to existing marks benefits from a comprehensive clearance search and written opinion first, available as an add-on before filing begins.

Trademark registration - single class
Attorney consultation and filing-strategy review, ownership/domicile/entity-type/filing-basis review, preliminary direct-hit USPTO search, identification and classification of goods and services, application preparation and electronic filing, docketing, and review of routine USPTO correspondence with notice of material deadlines.
$500
USPTO filing fee $350 per class, billed at cost. A $200 per-class surcharge applies where a free-form goods/services identification is used instead of the Trademark ID Manual, and $100 per class for certain missing application information.
Upgrade: Comprehensive search and application - $500 total
Copyright registration
Application, deposit preparation, and filing for a single work.
$500

How it works

  1. 01
    Tell me about your matter
    A short questionnaire, scoped to what's reasonably necessary to evaluate the matter - nothing more.
  2. 02
    Conflict check and scoping
    A conflict check runs before anything substantive is discussed, then the scope and fee structure are confirmed.
  3. 03
    Engagement letter, e-signed
    A clear, written agreement with every required disclosure, signed before work begins.
  4. 04
    Work begins
    You get a direct line to the attorney handling your matter - not a triage queue.
