What do I need to start the trademark registration process?

Founder & Trademark Attorney

To start the process, you should first submit your brand name or logo for a lawyer’s check online. These reviews assess distinctiveness and check for existing registrations that might conflict with yours. If a legal expert deems your brand as eligible for registration, you then provide your applicant details and the goods and services you want covered under the application. Based on that information, the legal team drafts and prepares the application and files it on your behalf.

No special documentation is required at the outset beyond the mark itself and a signed Power of Attorney, which the legal team prepares for your review before filing.
