Every number on this table is the real number. Most firms won't publish their Office Action pricing at all — it's listed here because you should know the full range of possible costs before you file, not after.
A comprehensive clearance search of the federal register and common-law sources, attorney analysis of the results (including an honest recommendation not to file if the mark won't clear), selection of the correct classes and description of goods and services, preparation of the application with proper specimens, and filing with the USPTO under Michael Meyer's name and registration number.
The USPTO's own fees ($350 per class, paid to the government), or responses to Office Actions if the examining attorney raises an issue — those are priced separately on the table above, and the entire purpose of the upfront clearance work is to make them rare.
If your application needs something beyond this scope, you'll know the price before the work begins. That's the whole point of flat fees.
Search, application, and filing — the $850 package above, for names, logos, slogans, and other marks, in any industry, nationwide.
Included with every registration, and available standalone if you're choosing between brand names before committing.
If the USPTO issues a refusal or requirement, the firm prepares the legal response — $300–$500 for most Office Actions, $1,500 for substantive likelihood-of-confusion refusals.
Section 8 declarations, Section 15 incontestability, and Section 8/9 renewals ($325, $250, and $650 per class in USPTO fees respectively, plus a $300–$400 attorney fee) — with docketing so deadlines never pass unnoticed.
Cease and desist letters, responses to infringement claims against you, and opposition and cancellation proceedings before the TTAB. Details on the trademark infringement and trademark opposition pages.
The USPTO itself recommends hiring a U.S.-licensed attorney, and its reasoning is worth reading before you spend money anywhere — including here. The short version: filing platforms type what you tell them into a form. They cannot advise you whether your mark is registrable, whether the search results are actually clear, which classes and descriptions protect your real business, or how to respond when the USPTO raises a legal issue — and their fine print says so, even when their marketing implies otherwise.
The practical difference shows up at exactly two moments: the clearance analysis before filing (where most doomed applications should have been stopped) and the Office Action after filing (where platforms hand you back to yourself). An attorney is accountable to you, and to the bar, at both moments. Michael Meyer's registration number is 78,575 — you can verify it in the USPTO's attorney database right now.
Michael Meyer holds a chemistry degree, is registered to practice before the USPTO in both patent and trademark matters (Reg. No. 78,575, verifiable at oedci.uspto.gov), and has handled 200+ trademark matters alongside 500+ patent matters. When you call, you get him — not a sales team, not a paralegal queue. Small firms are supposed to cost more per hour and deliver less scale; this practice is built to invert that: flat fees, direct access, and no office tower baked into your bill.
Trademark registration is federal law — a USPTO-registered attorney in Gretna, Nebraska files the same application, with the same examining corps, as a firm in Manhattan billing $600 an hour. What changes is the overhead you're paying for. The firm's clients are nationwide; its rates are Nebraska's. If you're local to Omaha or greater Nebraska, we can also meet in person.
The stage-by-stage detail is in the trademark registration process guide and the timeline breakdown.
$850 for a single-class registration: the $500 flat attorney fee plus the $350 USPTO fee. Additional classes add $350 each in government fees. The clearance search is included — there is no separate search charge.
Included: comprehensive search, legal analysis, class selection, application preparation, specimen review, and filing. Excluded: USPTO government fees and Office Action responses, which are priced on the published table above — never discovered after the fact.
$300–$500 for most Office Actions; $1,500 for a substantive likelihood-of-confusion refusal. You'll always get the exact quote before the response is begun.
Michael Meyer personally — USPTO Reg. No. 78,575, verifiable in the USPTO's Office of Enrollment and Discipline database. No case managers, no hand-offs.
Roughly 10–14 months for a clean application, with USPTO examination starting around months 6–8.
If you're a U.S.-domiciled applicant, the USPTO doesn't require one — but strongly recommends it, and the failure points of self-filing are predictable. The honest breakdown is in what a trademark attorney actually does.
Yes — the majority of the firm's trademark clients are outside Nebraska. Federal registration practice is nationwide by design.
Free consultation, straight answers, and a real price before any work begins.
