Law Office of Michael P. Eddy +1 800 770 0940

What we do

Clear the mark, file it, and keep the file alive.

The USPTO will not give legal advice. A search-and-file shop that is not a law firm cannot appear for you. We can search, prepare the application, file it, and stay on the case when the examining attorney writes back.

Clearance search

A look at the federal register and common-law use before you spend money on labels, a domain, or a filing. A search is not a guarantee. It is how you learn what is already sitting in your lane.

Application preparation

Attorney-prepared U.S. applications from $200, plus USPTO fees. A $350 USPTO fee applies to one-class filings that qualify for the reduced fee (for example, no custom descriptions). Other filings may cost more.

Foreign-domiciled clients

If you do not have a U.S. domicile, the USPTO requires a U.S.-licensed attorney. We file and prosecute for owners outside the United States, including Canadian owners.

Office actions

Likelihood of confusion, descriptiveness, specimen problems, and identifications that need a rewrite. Deadlines are short. The response is the case.

Portfolio and maintenance

Declarations of use, renewals, and the quiet work of keeping a registration from dying on a missed date. One mark or a stack of them.

Disputes and the TTAB

Oppositions, cancellations, and the federal-court side of a brand fight when the public record calls for it. We do not promise a result. We tell you what the papers actually say.
