Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) ### Is LegalHoop a reliable service? Yes. LegalHoop is a highly-rated legal technology platform with a 4.5/5 rating on Trustpilot. Our service is led by U.S.-licensed attorneys with over 10 years of experience, working to ensure every application is prepared in accordance with rigorous USPTO procedural standards. ### How much are total USPTO filing fees? The total investment consists of LegalHoop's professional service fee (starting at **$249**) and the mandatory USPTO government filing fee (**$350 per class** for Standard applications). If your goods/services require a custom description outside the USPTO Trademark ID Manual, a **$200 USPTO surcharge** will apply. Our attorneys proactively work to avoid this surcharge for you. ### Why is LegalHoop more affordable than traditional law firms? Traditional U.S. law firms typically charge a median of **$1,200 for a search** and **$1,000 for the filing** (*Source: AIPLA 2022 Economic Survey*). LegalHoop is not a "cheap" alternative; we are a more efficient one. By specializing exclusively in trademark technology and automating procedural tasks, we reduce overhead costs by 85% and pass those savings directly to you, while maintaining 100% attorney oversight. ### How long does the registration process take? The current USPTO processing time in a smooth case is approximately **8-12 months** from filing to registration, depending on government backlogs. ### What is a Trademark Specimen? A **Specimen** is real-world proof of how you use your mark in commerce. * **For Goods**: Branded packaging, labels, or website screenshots showing the product with an "Add to Cart" button and price. * **For Services**: Marketing materials, brochures, or website headers clearly linking the mark to the offered services. > **Note**: The USPTO rejects digital mockups or "Photoshopped" logos. Actual photos of live products are required. ### Can I reserve a trademark before I start selling? Yes. You can file under an **"Intent to Use" (1b)** basis. This allows you to secure a filing date and "reserve" your brand name while in development. You will be required to submit a **Statement of Use (SOU)** and a specimen once you officially launch in the U.S. market. ### Do foreign applicants need a U.S. attorney? Yes. Per USPTO regulations, all foreign-domiciled individuals and entities **must** be represented by a **U.S.-licensed attorney**. This representation is included in all LegalHoop packages to ensure full compliance and protection from third-party scams. ### What is the advantage of an Attorney-led filing? Statistics from the USPTO indicate that applications managed by licensed attorneys are **50% more likely** to achieve registration. While no search can fully eliminate the risk of an examiner's refusal, our attorneys provide a professional **"Likelihood of Confusion" analysis** to identify potential conflicts before you file. By accurately classifying your goods and services according to USPTO standards, we help minimize the risk of avoidable **Office Actions** and procedural delays. ### What happens if the USPTO issues an Office Action? An **Office Action** is a formal letter from the USPTO raising legal issues. For "Simple Office Actions" (procedural issues), LegalHoop's **Guaranteed Package** includes attorney-drafted responses at no additional professional cost. ### Can I trademark my logo and brand name separately? Yes. It is generally recommended to trademark the **Standard Character Mark** (the name itself) first. This provides the broadest protection, allowing you to update your logo's design or font in the future without needing a new registration. ### What marks cannot be registered? The USPTO generally refuses marks that are merely descriptive (e.g., "Cold Beer" for beer), geographically descriptive, or those that cause a Likelihood of Confusion with an existing mark. Our Federal Search is designed specifically to identify these risks before you pay the non-refundable government fees. --- ## 6.
