Trademark Registration Services - Protect Your Brand From $99

Federal trademark registration typically takes 10–14 months from filing to certificate for a straightforward application. If the USPTO issues an Office Action (received by over 60% of applicants), add 3–6 months per response cycle. Our team files complete, accurate applications designed to minimize delays — and we guide you through every step if issues arise.

A federal trademark registration lasts 10 years and can be renewed indefinitely — giving you permanent brand protection as long as you continue using the mark in commerce. Important: you must also file a Section 8 Declaration of Continued Use between years 5 and 6, or your registration will be cancelled. SecureMarkUSA's renewal notification service tracks these deadlines so you never miss them.

You may only use ® after your USPTO registration certificate is issued — using it before registration is a federal violation. During the application process (which takes 10–14 months), use ™ to signal your trademark claim without legal risk. The moment your certificate arrives, switch to ® on all branding, packaging, and digital assets.

SecureMarkUSA achieves a 98% success rate across all filed applications. The most common causes of refusal are likelihood of confusion with an existing mark (caught by our pre-filing search), descriptiveness issues (addressed during application preparation), and specimen errors (eliminated by our filing review). A thorough search and professionally prepared application dramatically reduces your risk of rejection.
