Protect Your Brand with a US Trademark
Secure your business name, logo, or slogan before someone else does. Our partner TM Kings handles the full process, from trademark search to filing to 24/7 monitoring.
What a trademark actually protects you from
A US trademark gives you the exclusive legal right to use your business name, logo, or slogan in commerce. Without one, anyone in the US can use a similar name or branding, and you'd have limited legal standing to stop them.
Without a trademark
- Competitors can use a similar name or logo
- You may be forced to rebrand if someone registers first
- Limited legal options if your brand is copied
- Amazon, Etsy, and other platforms won't protect your brand name
With a trademark
- Exclusive right to your brand in the US
- Legal grounds to stop infringers
- Eligible for Amazon Brand Registry
- Increases brand and business valuation

Global coverage
What a US Trademark Actually Costs
A trademark filing has two separate costs: the firm that prepares and files it, and the government fee the USPTO charges to examine it. The package price you see below does not include the USPTO fee.
| Cost | Amount | Who charges it |
|---|---|---|
| TM Kings service fee | From $390 | The Basic package covers the trademark search, application filing and attorney review. Paid to TM Kings. |
| USPTO base application fee | $350 per class | Paid to the USPTO, not to us or TM Kings. Charged for each class of goods or services you register in. |
| Free-form description surcharge | $200 per class | Applies when the goods and services are written as free text instead of chosen from the USPTO Trademark ID Manual. Another $200 per class for each additional 1,000 characters. |
A class is a category of goods or services. Selling both clothing and software means two classes, so the USPTO fee doubles. Fees change, so check the current USPTO fee schedule before you file.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can a non-US resident register a US trademark?
Yes. You do not need to be a US citizen or resident to own a US trademark. Applicants whose address is outside the United States are required to be represented by a US licensed attorney before the USPTO.
How much does a US trademark cost in total?
Two costs apply. TM Kings charges from $390 for the Basic package covering search, filing and attorney review. The USPTO charges its own base application fee of $350 per class of goods or services. Additional surcharges apply when the goods and services description is written as free text rather than selected from the USPTO Trademark ID Manual.
What is a class, and why does it change the price?
A class is a category of goods or services. The USPTO fee is charged per class, so a brand covering both clothing and software is filed in two classes and pays the government fee twice.
How long does a US trademark registration take?
Registration usually takes several months to over a year. The USPTO examines the application, publishes it for opposition, and issues the registration only if no successful challenge is raised. TM Kings files the application within 1 to 2 weeks of your order.
What can be trademarked?
Business names, logos, slogans and other marks that identify the source of your goods or services. Generic terms and purely descriptive wording are difficult or impossible to register. A search before filing shows whether your mark is likely to clear.
Do I need a trademark for Amazon Brand Registry?
Amazon Brand Registry requires an active registered or pending trademark. A registered US trademark is the route most sellers use to qualify.
What happens if someone challenges my trademark application?
After examination the USPTO publishes your mark and third parties have a window to oppose it. TM Kings responds to office actions and handles oppositions as part of their service.
Does a US trademark protect me in other countries?
No. Trademark rights are territorial. A US registration covers the United States. Protection elsewhere requires filing in those countries or through an international system such as the Madrid Protocol.
Do I have to renew a US trademark?
Yes. A US registration requires periodic maintenance filings with the USPTO to stay alive, and it lapses if those are missed. Keep your renewal dates tracked from the date the registration issues.
