Timeline for the U.S. Trademark Registration Process

One of our trademark attorneys will review your file, complete a search, and file your trademark application within about a week. However, the USPTO process is a bit longer. The U.S. Trademark Office provides a detailed timeline for each type of trademark application. It takes roughly 3 to 6 months to hear back from the USPTO regarding your trademark application. At that point in time they will either approve or reject your trademark. If approved, your trademark will receive a Notice of Publication (approval, but has to go through the opposition period). Once approved, through a Notice of Publication, you will have to wait about a month for the mark to publish, and then anyone is given 30 days where they can oppose the mark if they feel it will harm their trademark.  Once you get through the opposition period you have about another 2-3 months before you receive your trademark registration certificate or Notice of Allowance (for intent to use applications).

• 3-6 months for USPTO to respond to a trademark application
• 1-2 months for publication
• 1 month for opposition period
• 1-2 months for trademark registration or Notice of Allowance
• About 9-11 months total for an actual use application (intent to use trademark application depends on use date)

During the above process the trademark lawyer working on your file will continually provide you updates regarding your trademark application.
