Questions people ask first
Is the trademark search really free?
Yes. You can search the federal register — trademark applications and registrations, plus assignments and TTAB proceedings — with no account and no charge. Paid comprehensive searches add state and common-law sources plus a written attorney opinion.
Do I need a search before I file?
It is not required, but filing blind risks losing your government fee to a likelihood-of-confusion refusal. A clearance search finds the conflicts an examiner would cite before you commit.
How long does trademark registration take?
Most applications take 8–14 months from filing to registration. Expect about 4 to 5 months from filing to the examiner's first action (USPTO, first half of FY2026); if no refusals issue and no one opposes, registration follows publication. We track every milestone and alert you when action is needed.
What does the government fee cover?
The USPTO charges $350 per class of goods or services for a standard electronic application. That fee goes entirely to the government, is not included in any package price, and is paid by you separately — it is invoiced before filing. Each package covers one class; each additional class costs another package fee plus another USPTO fee.
Do I need a lawyer to register a trademark?
US applicants are not required to use an attorney, but foreign-domiciled applicants are. Either way, a licensed attorney reviews and files every Rightsy application, which materially lowers the chance of a fatal mistake.
