Protect your brand
before someone else claims it

Using a name only protects it where you operate. Register it and you lock nationwide rights, so a later company can't box you into your own backyard. You don't even need to be selling yet: an intent-to-use filing lets you plant your flag before launch. Register first, or risk spending launch day rebranding.

Why waiting is the real risk

Wait, and your brand
may not be yours

A name you haven't protected is a name anyone can take. For startups that haven't launched, or haven't filed yet, the window is smaller than you think, and it's closing faster every day.

Use alone is a thin shield

The U.S. is first-to-use, but common-law rights only cover your local area. A competitor across the country can use, or file, the same name.

AI is taking names overnight

Thousands of companies spin up daily with AI builders, grabbing names, domains and filings in minutes, while you wait.

Filing locks nationwide priority

Your filing date becomes your nationwide priority date (Lanham Act §7(c)), putting every later user behind you, even in states you've never sold in.

Claim it before you launch

An intent-to-use filing (§1(b)) reserves your priority date months before the product ships. Leave it on the table and someone else can grab it.

Rebranding is brutal

A cease-and-desist after launch means rebuilding your name, domain, app and goodwill, a five-to-six-figure hit, plus the customers you confuse.

The window is days, not months

The legal system didn't change, the clock did. Every day you wait is a day a competitor can file ahead of you.

After you file

Keep your mark
alive & protected

Filing is the start. We handle the USPTO responses, deadlines and copycats that decide whether your registration actually survives.

Office Action Responses

Got a refusal or examiner objection? Most marks hit one. An attorney analyzes it and drafts the response that keeps your application alive, filed before your deadline.

From $399 + USPTO fees
Get a response →

Statement of Use & Updates

Filed on intent-to-use? You must prove the mark is in commerce to register. We prepare and file your Statement of Use and in-use updates so you don't forfeit your spot.

$250 + USPTO fees
File your SOU →

Trademark Monitoring

Catch copycats before they take hold. We watch the USPTO for confusingly similar filings and alert you the moment someone tries to register near your brand.

Why StartLegal

A brand attorney,
not a filing form

DIY filing sites leave you to guess. Big firms bill by the hour. We sit in between, real trademark attorneys, founder pricing.

01

Brand expertise

Our founder is a trademark attorney, a former CMO and a professor of brand marketing, so we help you choose and protect a name that's both registrable and worth owning.

02

Personal service

You work with an experienced attorney from search to approval, not a chatbot or a form. If your mark is unlikely to clear, we give you a free second search.

03

Cost effective

Priced a little above DIY and far below big law, flat, predictable, no hourly surprises. Members get the AI Trademark Report free and member rates on everything.

Your brand won't wait.
Neither should you.
