Process for USA Trademark Registration
At Hellaw IP, we make the complex process of US trademark registration simple, transparent, and efficient for entrepreneurs, startups, and established businesses. Our step-by-step approach ensures that your brand is legally protected in the United States with minimal hassle.
1. Trademark Search & Analysis
Before filing, we conduct a comprehensive USPTO database search to check for identical or similar trademarks. This helps assess your trademark’s availability and reduces the risk of rejection.

2. Choosing the Correct Class & Description
Trademarks are registered under specific International Classes based on the goods or services you offer. We ensure your application is filed in the right class with accurate descriptions that meet USPTO standards.
3. Preparing & Filing the Application
Our experts draft your USPTO trademark application with all required details, including:
Owner information
Trademark name/logo
Class of goods/services
First use date (if applicable)
We then submit it electronically via the USPTO TEAS system for faster processing.
4. USPTO Examination & Office Actions
Once filed, your application is assigned to a USPTO examining attorney who reviews it for compliance.
If there are objections (Office Actions), Hellaw IP responds with legal arguments and evidence to protect your claim.
5. Publication in the Official Gazette
If approved by the examiner, your trademark is published in the USPTO Official Gazette for a 30-day opposition period, where third parties can challenge it.
6. Registration & Certificate Issuance
If no opposition is filed, or if any opposition is overcome, the USPTO issues your Trademark Registration Certificate.
For intent-to-use applications, a Statement of Use must be filed before registration.
7. Post-Registration Maintenance
To keep your US trademark active, you must file maintenance documents at specific intervals (between 5th-6th year, 9th-10th year, and every 10 years thereafter). Hellaw IP offers ongoing monitoring and compliance services.
