Frequently Asked Questions
Below you’ll find answers to our most frequently asked questions. If you do not find the answer you are looking for, please visit our contact page.
How long is the trademark application process?
The trademark application process generally takes between 12 and 18 months. In some cases, it could take longer. To see the USPTO’s current trademark processing wait times, visit their website here.
Can you be my attorney, even if I am not located in Colorado?
Yes! Because applications for federal trademark registration are governed by federal law, we work with clients nationwide to prepare and file trademark applications. However, for contracts or other state-specific legal matters, we only represent Colorado-based businesses. If you're outside Colorado, we recommend consulting an attorney licensed in your state.

How ARE your services DIFFERENT from DOCUMENT PREPARATION SERVICES?
Unlike online document preparation services, we are a law firm that provides personalized legal advice and strategy tailored to your specific needs. Document preparation services cannot provide legal advice related to the strength and registrability of your trademark. If mistakes are made, they’ll file the application as-is, leaving you to deal with costly fixes later. With Williams Law, you get pertinent legal guidance from the start, minimizing the risk of errors and ensuring your application is done right.
which flat-rate package is right for me?
We offer three flat-rate packages to fit a range of client needs:
To discuss which package best suits your needs, schedule an initial consultation.
- Basic Protection Package: Perfect for small businesses and entrepreneurs looking to secure their brand with a solid foundation. This package covers the basics for protecting one trademark in one class of goods or services. It is ideal for clients who want to be involved in the process but need us to handle key aspects like monitoring the application and responding to non-substantive Office Actions. If you need additional support, we also offer additional services at an hourly rate.
- Strategic Protection Package: Best for clients looking to take a more thoughtful approach to securing their brand, with additional strategic insight and legal support beyond the essentials. It includes everything in the Basic Package, plus responses to substantive office actions. Substantive office actions involve complex legal issues, such as likelihood of confusion, that often result in higher costs. Substantive office actions are covered in this flat-rate package, so you won’t face unexpected fees if your application faces challenges during the application process.
- Complete Package: Designed for businesses seeking comprehensive brand protection, this package delivers top-tier services to safeguard your brand's most important assets. The Complete Protection Package includes two trademark applications: one for your business name and one for your logo, ensuring both are securely protected.
