Federal Trademarking
Protect Your Brand. Secure Your Legacy.
Your brand is more than just a name; it’s your reputation and your most valuable asset. Tell us about your mark and we’ll search the USPTO trademark records for similar marks, then send you general information about application routes and their costs.
Why register
Why Federal Trademark Registration is Critical
Using a protectable name or logo as a trademark can establish common-law rights without federal registration. Those rights are generally limited geographically and depend on the circumstances, which can make them harder to enforce as you grow. Registration on the Principal Register provides a legal presumption of the mark’s validity, your ownership, and your exclusive right to use it nationwide for the goods or services specified in the registration, subject to applicable limitations and others’ prior rights. It also provides public notice of your claim and additional enforcement benefits. Applying does not guarantee registration.
How it goes
How It Works
Tell Us About Your Mark
Complete the inquiry form below with your mark and a factual description of the goods or services you use it with.
Trademark Records Search
We search the USPTO trademark records for similar marks and send you the records we find. This is a factual report limited to USPTO records, not a comprehensive clearance search or a legal opinion about registrability, infringement or whether your mark is available or safe to use.
Application Routes
We follow up with general information about application routes and their published or quoted costs. We do not recommend a filing strategy or assess which route is legally appropriate for your circumstances.

Trademark Records Search Inquiry
Please note: The USPTO charges its own application fee ($350 per class of goods/services, plus surcharges in some cases), separate from any service fee.
Critical Business Solutions is not a law firm. Our current service is limited to a factual USPTO records search and general information about application routes and costs. We do not give legal advice, prepare or file trademark applications, or represent applicants before the USPTO. For advice about your mark, application or search results, consult a U.S.-licensed trademark attorney.
