What are the common reasons a trademark is rejected?

To avoid delays in the trademark registration process, here are some potential roadblocks to trademark registration you should be aware of:

You can’t register a trademark for non-business purposes.

You can’t register a generic or descriptive name, as your trademark name has to be distinctive or unique in some way to be approved.

You can only trademark a brand name that you’re using in business or that you intend to use in business in the near future.

The name you are trying to trademark can’t be too similar to another registered trademark or a pending trademark. This is because consumers could get confused and mistakenly believe they come from the same source. That’s why every trademark application must specify the type of goods or services where that trademark will be used.

How much does a trademark cost?

If you choose to work with a traditional attorney on a trademark application, expect to pay for their services (often billed by the hour) in addition to the USPTO filing fees.

The USPTO charges a base application fee of $350 per class of goods or services. Your trademark is valid for five years, after which you’ll pay a $325 renewal filing fee per class. Following that, you’ll only need to renew every 10 years.

If you choose to work with us, our trademark registration package costs $649 (plus federal filing fees§).
