FAQs About Trademarks in Nashville
1. Do I really need a lawyer to file a trademark?
DIY filings are possible, but a trademark attorney in Nashville cuts rejection risk and speeds approval.
2. How much does it cost?
Our flat legal fee is $1,000, plus the USPTO’s $350 filing fee for each class of goods or services.
3. How long does the USPTO process take?
Most applications move from filing to registration in 8–12 months, depending on examiner workload and any objections.
4. What counts as a “class”?
A class groups related goods or services. For example, clothing (Class 25) and coffee shops (Class 43) are separate classes and carry separate USPTO fees.
5. What’s the difference between ™ and ®?
™ can be used at any time to claim common-law rights; ® is reserved for federally registered marks.
6. Can I trademark a slogan or phrase?
Yes—if it is used to identify the source of goods/services and is not purely descriptive.
7. Can I use my mark before registration is complete?
Absolutely. In fact, proof of use is required for most U.S. filings—but use without protection exposes you to copycats.
8. Will my federal trademark protect me internationally?
No, but it is the prerequisite for using the Madrid Protocol to file in up to 130 other countries.
