How It Works
From Intake to Filing
Complete the intake form and describe your mark, the goods or services you offer under it, and whether you are currently using the mark in commerce or intend to use it.
John Ogilvie reviews the request, performs a conflict check, and confirms availability. If your matter is a fit, he sends a DocuSign engagement agreement and payment instructions.
Work begins on receipt of the signed engagement agreement and full payment into trust. Fees are transferred from trust to operating account as milestones are reached.
John Ogilvie conducts a preliminary non-comprehensive availability search and reports the results to you before preparing the application.
Application prepared and filed with the USPTO. You receive confirmation of filing and the serial number assigned by the USPTO.
If the USPTO issues an office action, John Ogilvie contacts you to scope and price a response. Office action responses and appeals are handled as separate engagements.
Availability Search — Important Note
The preliminary search included in this service is non-comprehensive and is not a substitute for a full clearance search or a formal trademark opinion. It covers the USPTO register and is intended to identify obvious conflicts before filing. If you need a comprehensive clearance search or a formal opinion on registrability, describe that in the intake form and John Ogilvie will address it in the scoping discussion.
