Protecting Your Mark for the Long Haul
Trademark MAINTENANCE& RENEWAL
A federal trademark isn’t a one-time filing—it’s a long-term asset that requires ongoing maintenance. Failure to renew and maintain your trademark can result in cancellation and loss of rights, leaving your brand vulnerable to competitors.
At Kaleidoscope IP, we ensure that your trademark remains active, compliant, and fully protected by tracking deadlines, filing necessary documents, and advising on continued use requirements.

everything that's included:
When you’ve poured your passion into building something meaningful—whether it’s a global tech venture or a beloved neighborhood boutique—your brand becomes a reflection of your vision, your story, your legacy. Protecting it isn’t just a legal step; it’s a powerful move to claim your space, amplify your reach, and ensure your brand stands strong for years to come.
We take the trademark application process seriously and conduct thorough research, analysis, and preparation to give your application the highest possible chance of success.
However, trademark registration is not guaranteed. The USPTO examines applications independently, considering factors such as likelihood of confusion, descriptiveness, and compliance with federal trademark laws. Our role is to leverage our expertise, conduct diligent clearance searches, and craft strong applications to position your brand for approval.
We do not proceed with filing a trademark application unless we have determined, based on our analysis, that it has a strong likelihood of success. While we cannot control USPTO decisions, we proactively anticipate challenges and guide you through the process with transparency and strategic counsel.

Yes, conducting a comprehensive trademark search before applying is crucial. This search helps identify any existing trademarks that are identical or similar to yours, which could lead to a refusal of your application due to a likelihood of confusion. A thorough search can save time and resources by uncovering potential conflicts early in the process.
At Kaleidoscope IP, our Kaleidoscope Signature Offering includes a full Search & Clearance analysis because we are dedicated to only filing applications with the strongest chance of approval. By ensuring a strategic approach from the outset, we help our clients avoid unnecessary refusals and position their trademarks for success.
No, trademark registration is not guaranteed, as the USPTO examines each application independently based on legal requirements, including likelihood of confusion and distinctiveness. However, at Kaleidoscope IP, we take every measure to position your application for success by conducting comprehensive Search & Clearance, crafting strong filings, and leveraging insider USPTO knowledge to anticipate and mitigate potential challenges. Our Kaleidoscope Signature Offering is designed to ensure only the strongest applications move forward for filing to give you the best possible chance of approval.
Failing to trademark your brand name means you do not have exclusive rights to it, leaving your business vulnerable to infringement, rebranding costs, and potential legal disputes.

Is trademark registration guaranteed?
The trademark registration process typically takes about 16 months in total. Approximately 10 months after filing, a trademark examiner at the USPTO will be assigned to your application. This timeline can vary based on factors such as the accuracy of your application, the distinctiveness of your mark, and any legal issues that may arise during examination.
how long does the trademark registration process take?
The USPTO charges federal filing fees of up to $350 per class.
At Kaleidoscope IP, our Kaleidoscope Signature Offering is inclusive of federal filing fees for one International Class, ensuring no unexpected costs in the initial filing process. If your application requires additional classes, we will discuss any extra fees before proceeding.
