Selection of Mark:
- Call me to discuss your mark! The
mark should be (1) NOT
descriptive or suggestive of any goods & services; (2) NOT descriptive
or suggestive of any "quality interences" in any associated with any goods
& services; (3) NOT a geographical entity; (4) NOT a governmental name or
symbol; (5) NOT a sound alike, look alike of an other mark;
(6) PREFERABLY the mark is not found in any dictionary of any
language; (7) An applicant is likely personally liable for an array of
liabilities, and thus it may be preferable to start a business entity
before applying for the mark as the business entity owner; (8) PREFERABLE
to avoid human or animal names including first names and especially last
names; (9) Trademarks have tax consequences: money defending a weak
trademark may require capitalization (& thus non-deductible) of
expenditures to fight for your trademark. Trademarks are ABOUT TURNING YEARS
OF HARD WORK & QUALITY INTO CAPITAL GAINS!!!
- Objective: (a) exclusive identifier of SOURCE of goods (this
means YOUR ENTITY rather than your competitors), (b) trademark should be
selected to become maximum capacity vessel for
collection of good will if selected properly; and (c) a capital gains generator on sale of
business, especially for attracting purchase value far in excess of basis.
- Full Trademark Search: $2000
( to avoid a future charge of negligent adoption) and this
price is higher based upon the required turnaround
in excess of 4 days.

- Non-ITU (regular): $1200
- ITU (Intent to Use): $1200
- Excludes Conversion/Statement of Use & Extensions
