Registering your trademark with the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) is the strongest way to protect your brand nationwide. At Augusto Perera, PA, we guide businesses through every step of federal registration, from the initial search to the registration certificate and beyond.
A federal registration creates a legal presumption that you own the mark and have the exclusive right to use it nationwide for the registered goods and services. It allows you to use the ® symbol, to record your mark with U.S. Customs and Border Protection to help stop counterfeit imports, and to bring infringement claims in federal court.
We prepare and file applications for:
Every application is prepared to reduce the risk of refusals and delays, and we keep you informed at each stage of the process.
Many USPTO refusals can be avoided with proper preparation. Before filing, we evaluate whether your mark is available and whether it is distinctive enough to be registered.
Before filing, we take care of:
After filing, a USPTO examining attorney reviews the application, usually several months later. If there are issues, the USPTO issues an Office Action that must be answered by a strict deadline. Once approved, the mark is published for opposition before it can register.
Through examination and beyond, we handle:
Daily experience with USPTO filings, examination and TTAB proceedings.
Upfront pricing and status updates at every stage of your application.
Member of The Florida Bar, admitted before the Federal Circuit and the U.S. Supreme Court.
