Protect your Minnesota brand name, logo, or slogan nationwide. SecureMark USA handles your entire USPTO trademark filing — from comprehensive search to registration certificate — starting at $99 + USPTO fees.
Start My Minnesota Trademark →Minnesota hosts a dense base of major corporations and a strong healthcare and retail sector around the Twin Cities. Common-law rights offer only limited, local protection. A federal registration delivers powerful advantages:
Protection in all 50 states — not just Minnesota.
A USPTO certificate is public notice of ownership and shifts the burden of proof to challengers.
Signal credibility and deter infringers.
Registered owners may recover statutory and treble damages against counterfeiters.

SecureMark USA's service starts at $99, plus the USPTO government fee of $350 per class. A separate, lower-cost Minnesota state registration is available through the Minnesota Secretary of State, but it only protects you within Minnesota.
For most businesses, a federal USPTO trademark is better because it protects your brand in all 50 states. A Minnesota state trademark only covers use within Minnesota and is best for strictly local businesses.
Filing can be same day, but USPTO examination and registration typically take several months. SecureMark USA monitors your application and updates you throughout.
U.S.-domiciled applicants are not required to use an attorney. SecureMark USA provides expert filing support and is not a law firm and does not provide legal advice.
