A trademark protects all of your branding elements (e.g., your business name, logo, slogan, tag-line, course or program name, even product packaging). Owning your trademark gives you the right to stop copycats from using the same or similar mark to sell their products and services.
Without trademark registration, you don't legally own the rights to the name of your business, logo, slogan, or any of your brand assets.
The trademark registration process takes anywhere between 8-18 months.
Although registration is not guaranteed, as a serious business owner, you owe it to yourself to make sure that your brand is 100% yours.

"The process took less than a year to finalize because of Zara's due diligence."
Thanks to Zara, I own my first trademark for my t-shirt brand, Lider x Falouer. The process took less than a year to finalize because of Zara's due diligence. As a rising entrepreneur, I was drawn to Zara's mission to help brands and businesses protect their intellectual property. She sets the bar high for trademark attorneys, and I am happy that I retained her legal services!

I will send you a trademark intake form to complete so that I can gather background information on your mark and your business that will help me perform the trademark search and that will help me file your application.
From the questionnaire that you completed, I will use the information you provided to prepare your application. I will provide instructions on what types of proof the United States Patent and Trademark Office accepts.
We work together to select the best form of evidence to submit and we decide on which classifications to file and how to best describe your trademark.
Once you provide the required information and materials and assuming the mark is available, I’ll file your trademark application with the USPTO.
I monitor your application, handle all correspondence with the USPTO examining attorney throughout the 8-18 month process.
I handle all emails, calls, and any additional information requested from the USPTO, including responding to Office Actions. Most law firms do not include responses to Office Actions as part of their fee.
"Zara is not only thorough, organized, and extremely knowledgeable about every in and out of trademark law, but she is deeply supportive, thoughtful, and compassionate."
What I knew about Trademarking: It is necessary if you want to grow your own business. What I did not know: It is a nearly year-long process of back and forth with USTPO attorneys, other businesses, revisions, and check-ins. After going through this process, I can honestly say that there is no way I could have done it successfully without Zara. Zara is not only thorough, organized, and extremely knowledgeable about every in and out of trademark law, but she is deeply supportive, thoughtful, and compassionate. If things were difficult on her end, I would never know it, because Zara made me feel like my trademark process was the only thing she was working on. Never perturbed by a question and always available when I needed her, it is clear to me that Zara does her absolute best for every client. Plus, she was incredibly transparent about the cost, timeline, and logistics of the process. Kindness + Honesty + Skills = the perfect Trademark Attorney. Honestly, I cannot recommend Zara enough. Thank you Zara!

My question to you is what is not securing your trademark going to cost you over the next ten years?
If you compare the cost of having to stop using a mark after spending years building up the value of the mark through advertising and marketing campaigns, and the over $100,000 cost of litigating a trademark dispute, it becomes clear that hiring an expert trademark attorney is the less expensive alternative.
You could keep building your brand, gaining more visibility, and exposing your brand unprotected, but I’m sure that this isn’t a risk that you’re willing to take.
Let’s secure your mark!

"Zara made the process so easy and seamless."
I’m so glad I found Zara on Instagram and decided to reach out! I was nervous going through the trademark process with a lawyer in another state, but Zara made the process so easy and seamless. Zara was helpful every step of the way, answered all of my questions and was extremely knowledgeable about the trademark process! I never felt like I couldn’t ask a question or reach to her when I needed to! I will definitely come back to utilize more of her services! Thank you Zara!
