Trademark or copyright — which one protects what
They protect different things, and most people need one far more urgently than the other. Here is how to tell which.
How to register a trademark
The filing form is the easy part. Everything that determines whether the application succeeds happens before and after it.
What a trademark costs
There are two separate costs, and only one of them is the attorney. Here is what sits in each, and what moves the number.
You received an Office Action
A refusal is not the end of the application. It does have a deadline, and that is the part worth acting on today.
Trademarks for Amazon sellers
Brand Registry asks for a trademark, which is how most sellers end up here. The part nobody warns them about is how long registration takes.
That trademark renewal invoice is probably not from the USPTO
Trademark owners receive official-looking notices demanding renewal fees. Many come from private companies with no connection to the trademark office.
