You Built The Brand.
Now Own It.
You spent months on the name, the logo, the audience — but none of that means you legally own it. We fix that the right way: flat-fee USPTO filing by a real, licensed attorney, one price quoted up front. No $99 traps. No "new attorney" calling next week for more money.

Free & no-obligation — your filing handled by a real, licensed attorney, not a call center.

Meet Your Attorney
A Real Attorney. On The Record.
Tap for sound. Less than a minute on why a real attorney beats a $99 filing mill — and how simple it is to start.
Who It's For
Who Needs A Trademark?
If you're building a brand people recognize, the name is your most valuable asset. These are the founders and creators we protect every week.
…and any founder, creator, or small business building a name worth protecting.
Are You Actually Protected?
"But I Already Own My Name."
Three things founders assume protect their brand — and why not one of them actually does.
✕ "I registered my LLC"
An LLC registers your company with the state. It does nothing to stop someone else from using — or federally trademarking — your name.
✕ "I own the domain & handles"
Owning yourbrand.com and the @handles isn't legal ownership of the name. Anyone can still trademark it right out from under you.
✕ "I've used it for years"
That's limited, local common-law rights at best. A federal trademark is what protects the name nationwide — and lets you stop copycats.
Only a federal trademark actually locks down your name. That's what we do — the right way, by a real, licensed attorney.
Read This First
Been Burned By A Trademark "Company"?
If you've shopped for a trademark online, you've seen them: the "$99" ads, the slick websites, the promise of "one fee, start to finish." Then the story always goes the same way — a new "attorney" you've never spoken to calls to say you owe more. The price you were quoted was never the price you paid. And too often, the person filing your mark isn't a real, responsive attorney at all.
You don't have to learn that lesson the hard way. Here's the honest difference between a filing mill and a real law firm:
Almost everyone who gets burned says the same thing afterward: "I should've just used a real attorney." That's all ELN is — a real, licensed attorney, a flat fee quoted up front, and the work actually done right the first time.
Why It Matters
A Cheap Filing Can Cost You Everything.
The USPTO has been cracking down hard on fraudulent filings — many submitted by non-lawyer "companies" using bogus or non-responsive attorney signatures. When a filing is tied to that kind of fraud, it can be refused at the end of the process, no matter how much you already paid. Worse, the cheap mills skip the clearance search and the proper drafting, so unrepresented and mill-filed applications get refused at far higher rates.
The "savings" disappear the first time you have to refile, fight a confusingly similar mark, or find out your "attorney" was never real. A federal trademark is the foundation your whole brand rests on. Build it on a real attorney — once, correctly.
Simple & Consult-First
How It Works.
The consult is free. Once you're on board, your attorney runs a real clearance search as part of your package — and if your name won't clear, we help you pick one that will.

03
We clear your name & file
Your package includes a full federal, state, and common-law clearance search. If your name won't clear, we help you pick a stronger one that will — then draft and file it correctly the first time.

We track it through the USPTO, respond to procedural issues, and deliver your registration — with a renewal calendar so you never lose it.

Applications vs. classes — how trademark pricing actually works, in a minute.
How The Pricing Works.
Now the numbers — using the same shoe brand from the video, MIKE 🐄. A wordmark, a logo, and a slogan are three separate $2,000 applications — filing one doesn't get you the others.
What it costs to protect all three of MIKE's marks
Wordmark — "MIKE"$2,000
Logo — the cow & swoosh$2,000
Slogan — "Just Moo It"$2,000
Filed separately$6,000
★ All three, filed together $4,500
Bundle all three at once and save $1,500.
Two applications? $3,500 (save $500). Or grow into it — start with one and come back as you expand; each returning mark is $1,800 (save $200), so three over time is $5,600. Filing all at once is always the best deal. Extra classes +$650 each.
⏳ Trademarks are first-come, first-served. The longer you wait, the more you risk someone filing your name first — and filing your marks together always costs less than adding them later.
Adding categories to one trademark — +$650 each
1
Category
Most single-product brands. Essentials $2,000 / Protection $2,500.
2
Categories
Add a second lane for +$650. e.g. 2 on Essentials = $2,650.
3
Categories
Brand Vault $3,500 — one application, up to 3 classes included. Need more? +$650 each.
Name first, logo later — both protected
Most founders file the name first — the broadest protection — and add other marks (a logo, a slogan) as they grow. Returning clients get every additional mark at $1,800 ($200 off).
Most brands need just one trademark in one class. Not sure? That's what the free consult is for — we map it out and quote one all-in number before any work begins.
How "all-in" works: One flat price per package, quoted before any work begins — it covers our legal work and the USPTO's government filing fee. No pass-through math to track, no add-ons mid-way, no surprise invoices. The only things that change the number are choices you make up front — extra classes (+$650 each, all-in) or additional marks — every one of them quoted before we start.
Protecting more than one mark or class? A wordmark, a logo, a slogan, a sound mark, a color mark — these are each a distinct trademark application ($2,000, one class). Adding another class to an application is +$650. We confirm exactly what you need on your free consult — one all-in number, before any work begins.
Office Action responses: Procedural responses are included. Substantive examiner refusals are real legal work, quoted separately ($300–$1,200 depending on complexity). No mystery invoices, ever.
Straight Answers
Before You File.
That "$99" is usually just a preparation fee — then the government fee, per-class fees, "attorney review," and subscriptions stack on top, and a new "attorney" often calls for more. ELN's price is all-in and quoted before any work begins — one flat number that already covers the USPTO's government filing fee. The number you're told is the number you pay.
A real, licensed U.S. attorney — Michael Okechukwu, Esq. Not a faceless "company," not a farmed-out volume processor, not a name you can't verify. You work directly with the attorney whose signature is on your filing.
Often, yes. If your filing was botched, refused, or stalled, a real attorney can review where it stands and map your options. Reach out with what you've got and we'll tell you honestly what can be salvaged.
Yes. Trademark filing is federal — we represent clients before the USPTO regardless of state. Most of our IP clients are out of state.
Filing happens within days of intake. Registration through the USPTO typically takes 8–14 months once filed, depending on whether the examiner issues an Office Action. We monitor it the entire way.
