Question 1

How long does the trademark filing process take?

Accepted Answer

Once you complete the intake form and pay, erwin's AI prepares your Trademark Center application materials. A Lynch LLP attorney then reviews, prepares, and files your application — typically within 3–5 business days. After filing, the USPTO typically issues an initial response within 3–4 months. The full registration process usually takes 8–12 months if there are no issues.

Question 2

What does Attorney Filing include?

Accepted Answer

Attorney Filing includes AI-powered conflict search, AI-assisted goods and services drafting, Trademark Center application preparation, and a Lynch LLP attorney who reviews all application materials, fills out and signs the application as attorney of record, and provides written recommendations. The entire attorney filing fee goes to Lynch LLP for legal services.

Question 3

What is a registerability analysis?

Accepted Answer

A registerability analysis is an optional add-on to your Lynch LLP attorney filing. Your Lynch LLP attorney reviews an AI-assisted distinctiveness assessment and delivers the result as attorney work product under your engagement letter. It is not sold separately.

Question 4

What are USPTO filing fees?

Accepted Answer

The USPTO charges a government filing fee of $350/class when using pre-approved descriptions from the USPTO ID Manual. Classes with custom (free-form) goods and services descriptions incur an additional $200/class surcharge, for a total of $550/class. These fees are paid directly to the USPTO and are non-refundable once the application is submitted.

Question 5

Can I file in multiple classes?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Many businesses need protection across multiple classes. For example, a clothing brand may need Class 25 (clothing) and Class 35 (retail services). Each additional class incurs the USPTO filing fee of $350/class (or more for custom descriptions).

Question 6

What happens if I receive an office action?

Accepted Answer

An office action is a letter from the USPTO examining attorney raising issues with your application. Office action responses require additional legal work and are handled at a separately quoted fee. Lynch LLP attorneys are available to assist with both non-substantive issues (minor clerical matters) and substantive refusals (descriptiveness, similar existing marks).
