About this directory
This directory lists the attorneys named as the attorney of record on trademark filings in our library. It is built only from the USPTO records we have collected, so it is not a complete list of every trademark attorney, and it does not rank or recommend anyone. Attorney of record means the person the USPTO shows as representing the applicant on a filing. Use it to see which filings an attorney is named on, then confirm anything important against the official USPTO record.
Our library currently names 1,689 attorneys across 3,286 federal records.
Common questions
What is a trademark attorney?+
A trademark attorney is a licensed lawyer who helps businesses and individuals choose, clear, file, and maintain trademarks with the United States Patent and Trademark Office. They advise on whether a name or logo is available, prepare the application, respond to the examining attorney's office actions, and track renewal deadlines. In our records an attorney appears when they are listed as the attorney of record on a filing.
What does a trademark attorney do?+
A trademark attorney typically runs a clearance search, files the application, and manages the back and forth with the USPTO until the mark registers or is refused. They also handle post-registration maintenance, such as the Section 8 and Section 9 filings, and can represent an owner in disputes like oppositions and cancellations. The specific work varies by matter, so the records here show only the filings where a given attorney was named.
Do I need a trademark attorney to register a trademark?+
If you are a US-domiciled applicant, you are allowed to file on your own. If your domicile is outside the United States, USPTO rules require you to be represented by a US-licensed attorney. Even when it is not required, many applicants use an attorney because clearance and office actions can be technical. This is general information, not legal advice.
Can I file a trademark without an attorney?+
Yes, a US-domiciled applicant can file a trademark application directly through the USPTO without hiring an attorney. Foreign-domiciled applicants must have a US-licensed attorney under the USPTO 2019 rule. Filing on your own is possible, but a refusal or a procedural mistake can cost time and fees. Weigh your comfort with the process before you decide.
Can any attorney file a trademark?+
Any attorney licensed and in good standing with a US state bar can represent an applicant before the USPTO for trademarks; a separate patent-bar admission is not required. That said, trademark practice has its own rules and deadlines, so experience with USPTO filings matters. A represented applicant must name a qualifying US-licensed attorney. Our records list the attorney of record for each filing, not their qualifications.
How much does a trademark attorney cost?+
Attorney fees for trademark work vary by firm, location, and how complex the matter is, and many attorneys charge a flat fee per class while others bill hourly. Separate from the attorney fee, the USPTO charges its own government filing fee for each class of goods or services. Because pricing depends on the specific attorney and matter, we do not publish individual rates. Ask any attorney for a written fee estimate before you engage them.
When should I hire an intellectual property attorney?+
Common moments are before you invest in a brand name, when you are ready to file, or when you receive an office action or a cease-and-desist letter. An attorney can also help if you are expanding into new products or markets, or if someone challenges your mark. The earlier you get advice, the more options you usually have. This is general information and not a recommendation about any specific matter.
What does attorney of record mean?+
The attorney of record is the person the USPTO lists as representing the applicant or owner on a particular filing. It is a role recorded on the public file, and it can change over the life of a registration. On these pages an attorney appears because their name is on the record for one or more filings in our library. It does not indicate the result of any matter or an ongoing relationship.
How do I find a trademark attorney?+
You can search this directory by name to see the filings in our library where an attorney is listed as the attorney of record. You can also check a state bar directory to confirm that an attorney is licensed and in good standing. When you speak with an attorney, ask about their experience with filings like yours and request a written fee estimate. This directory is a starting point, not an endorsement of any attorney.
What is a trademark registration?+
A federal trademark registration is a right granted by the USPTO that helps protect a brand name, logo, or slogan used in commerce. It gives the owner nationwide notice and legal advantages when enforcing the mark. Registration is not automatic; the USPTO examines each application and can refuse it. Our records show the status of each filing, such as live, pending, or dead.
