My flat rate fees may be a little higher than those offered by several "form filling" services offering to register trademarks for you. But you will have a highly-experienced attorney advising you and taking care of the many legal requirements of proper trademark and/or copyright protection and registration. With record numbers of applications being being filed in the United States Patent and Trademark Office each year, it is getting harder to successfully register, and examining attorneys are getting very tough, refusing trademark applications for any one of MANY reasons. The success of your application and your legal rights in your brand, depend on accurate filings. Legal Zoom's trademark services, to take but one example, are subject to the following Disclaimer: "We are not a law firm or a substitute for an attorney or law firm. We cannot provide any kind of advice, explanation, opinion, or recommendation about possible legal rights, remedies, defenses, options, selection of forms or strategies." Is that good enough for your business name and brands?
I understand that some people may be confused apprehensive about how legal work is charged, and are fearful of getting bills they don’t expect. Avoiding “sticker shock” is one of my goals. I make sure my clients know exactly what they are getting into when it comes to costs.
My fees are, in general, one third to one half less than those charged by large intellectual property law firms, one of which I was a partner with for over ten years. I am flexible in offering flat fees for many projects, and working with clients to make sure they receive affordable, efficient and enforceable IP protection. I accept checks, wire transfers, debit card and Paypal payments, Mastercard, Visa and Amex.
And by the way, I return phone calls the same day!
