USPTO reviews your Statement of Use (SOU) and registers your mark.
*This timeline assumes the application proceeds with no issues, and that the client is prepared with appropriate specimens of use. TRADEMARK REGISTRATION IS NOT GUARANTEED.
**There is an abbreviated timeline for marks currently in use, where we would file a specimen of use at the time of the application filing.
Average time from filing to initial review by USPTO lawyer:
6 months
Average time from filing to receipt of registration certificate: 12 months
Approximately 1 months later
We timely file a Statement of Use (SOU) on your behalf
Approximately 1-6 months later
Around 3 months after the mark is approved for publication, USPTO Issues a Notice of Allowance, which is not a registration, but means that your trademark advanced through the 30-day opposition period and will be allowed to register after you timely file an acceptable Statement of Use (SOU), which demonstrates that your mark is being used in commerce.
Approximately 3 months later
After reviewing your application, the USPTO Lawyer either:
1. If they find no issues: Approves the application for publication a weekly online publication which gives advance notice to the public that the USPTO plans to register your trademark, OR
2. If they find issues: Writes an Office action (letter) detailing the issue(s) to be corrected or reason(s) for refusal of registration.
