FAQs

Do I need a search before filing?

A comprehensive search reduces the risk of refusals or conflicts. We’ll score risk and recommend a filing plan.

How long does it take to register?

Most applications see a first USPTO review in 6–9 months. Timelines vary by basis and any refusals or oppositions.

Flat fees or hourly?

Searches and standard filings are flat-fee. Responses and enforcement actions can be flat-fee or scoped upfront.

Do you help with copyright registration and licensing?

Yes. We support creators and brands with copyright strategy, registrations when appropriate, and licensing/usage terms that match how your content is used commercially.

Do you handle litigation?

No. We provide transactional counsel only (no litigation). We can support negotiation strategy and pre-suit resolution planning, but we do not appear in court.
