BRAND BOMBSHELL

 

Wrap Your Brand in a Luxurious Blanket of Federal Trademark Protection

What are you willing to risk? Your reputation for excellence?

You’ve been building your brand for years on end now.

You have a sizable audience and a reputation for being the best at what you do.

You’ve invested heavily to get to where you are now: logos, domain names, social media handles, email addresses, interviews, podcasts, media features – everyone online knows your brand name, tagline, slogan, or logo.

You can’t even fathom having to change it at this point.

Lose your brand recognition so your clients don’t know how to find you?

Your good will? Your reputation for excellence?

Change the branding across everything?

You’re not willing to risk any of it.

That’s why you’re ready to finally secure the legal protection your brand deserves with a federal trademark.
But as a busy entrepreneur with a growing business, you don’t have the time, mental capacity or energy to navigate through the trademark registration process on your own.

Sure, you’re an expert at what you do, but you aren’t an expert at trademarks. You may know a thing or two, but you want the most experienced and trustworthy eyes working to protect the brand you’ve toiled so tirelessly for.

That’s where BRAND BOMBSHELL comes in.

Introducing

BRAND BOMBSHELL

A done-for-you, flat-fee trademark registration program for the online entrepreneur ready to wrap the brand they’ve invested so much into with the highest level of legal protection.

Before I share more details on why you can rely on BRAND BOMBSHELL to help you secure federal trademark protection for the brand you’ve so tirelessly and passionately built, please allow me to introduce myself.

Here’s How It Works

BRAND BOMBSHELL is unlike any other trademark registration service you’ve come across.

No, seriously, though. Here’s why:

No matter how many unexpected procedural office actions or trademark updates are required, it’s one flat fee.

(In full transparency, filing fees aren’t a part of the total price as well as anything outside of the regular application process.)

Lots of law firms and discount legal service websites will offer to file your trademark application for a very low price.

But the trademark registration process extends far beyond just filing a trademark application.

Before we start on your application, you’ll be invited to a private and comprehensive Brand Strategy Session.

Inside this Strategy session, we'll go over aaalll the details of your brand and trademarks and develop a strategy to protect your valuable intellectual property.

Take a look at all the work we’ll do on your behalf to ensure your trademark can make it through the registration process:

Comprehensive Clearance Search Beyond the Basics

Many trademark services will include a “direct hit” search to make sure your trademark is available. All this means is that they’re typing your exact trademark into the US Patent and Trademark Office’s database to see if there are any identical registered trademarks.

Translation? They do a quick, less than 5-minute search for your exact trademark in the US Patent and Trademark Office’s database to see if there are any matches.

But what about trademarks that aren’t identical, but really similar to yours?

Well, guess what: those aren’t going to show up in the direct hit search.

But they will prevent your trademark from being registered. And they will cost you WAY more money than the seemingly affordable fee you originally paid.

What else won't they do?

Explain what any of this means and how it may impact your trademark application. Not unless you pay them more money, of course.

Here's what my team and I here at 180 Law Co. will do for you:

Start with a comprehensive trademark clearance search that’ll uncover identical trademarks AND the really or even remotely similar ones that could pose an issue for your trademark registration.

You’ll get a plain English explanation (no extra money required) about what we find in the clearance search, so you know exactly what to expect throughout the registration process.

If we do find something likely to prevent your trademark from being registered, you’ll get another comprehensive search for your second (and even third) trademark choices.

At no additional cost.

All Procedural, Non-Substantive Office Action Responses.

The vast majority of trademark applications will receive an Office Action from the USPTO. This can be anything from disclaimer requests, clarification of your goods/services, all the way up to likelihood of confusion issues.

(Don't worry if you're not sure what those things are. We you sign up for BRAND BOMBSHELL, you'll get the plain English explanation as many times as you need.)

If you do not respond to the Office Action in a timely manner, you’ll forfeit the application and lose the trademark altogether.

BRAND BOMBSHELL includes responding to all procedural, non-substantive Office Actions at no additional cost.

Maintaining Your Rights with Trademark Maintenance

Trademarks need to be maintained and renewed periodically to remain properly registered. It’s also important to take proper steps to enforce your trademark rights, should the need arise.

BRAND BOMBSHELL includes a guide letting you know exactly what, when, and how to maintain your trademark registration and the benefits it provides.

You can even choose to have our team monitor and help you maintain your trademark registration, too.

Do I Really Need a Trademark Registration at this Stage in My Business?

I get it. You’re “just" a small business owner, right?

There’s no way you could be infringing on another business owner’s intellectual property or vice versa...right?

Just because you’re a “small” business doesn’t mean you can’t get caught up in a costly lawsuit that forces you to completely rebrand everything you’ve worked so hard for. 

Can’t I Just Get an Online Service to Do It for Me for Cheaper?

Here at 180 Law Co., I pride myself on transparency.

So, I’ll start by saying: yes, you absolutely can....but what I'll also say is you'll more than likely regret it.

Just conduct a quick search for online trademark services like that of LegalZoom and you’ll find your share of horror stories.

LegalZoom and online services just like it aren’t actually using the expertise of lawyers to give your brand a thorough chance of success.

Their simple “knockout” clearance search can leave your brand open for an unexpected cease and desist notice or bank-breaking infringement lawsuit.

Prime example: If you wanted to trademark “Starbuckss,” a knockout search will not show “Starbucks” as a conflict.

Beyond the knockout search, goods and services can be registered incorrectly or incompletely, leaving you open for legal issues down the line.

There’s no oversight, strategy, or personalized advice with these services, and most end up needing to hire a lawyer to fix or redo the mistakes made.

Your brand, your money and your time deserve more than that.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a trademark if I already own the domain name/social media or I already have my DBA/trade name registered with the state?
Yes.

Registering a DBA or trade name does not protect a name in the same way as a trademark registration.

Registering a business like an LLC or corporation doesn’t mean the name is "secure" and/or that, since the name was available for them to use in their LLC/corp name, that it's available to use as a trademark throughout the U.S.

Watch this short video to learn why you may not actually “own” your brand name (and might be infringing on another brand!)

I don't have an LLC or corporation formed. Can I still apply for trademark registration?
Yes! You don’t need an LLC or corporation before applying. But, it IS recommended you form the company first if you're planning to do so. Otherwise, TMs can be assigned or transferred to LLC or corp later on.
What if my first choice of trademark is unavailable?
BRAND BOMBSHELL will include one courtesy redo search for your 2nd choice if the 1st choice isn't available. Also included are consultations around your strategy and how to pick the right trademark.
Why does it take so long? Can we expedite it? This other lawyer/service said they could get it done quicker.
The trademark process takes at least 14 months. With very limited exceptions, there is no way to expedite the application process. Anybody who says otherwise is truthfully speaking, not telling the truth.
I already filed/started the process. What if I just need help with an office action or filing a statement of use?
Our a la carte services are perfect for you. Whether you just need a thorough clearance search to check if you’re not infringing and your trademark is available, an office action response, or documents filed, 180 Law Co. can make your trademark process effortless.
