The Trademark VIP day is for you if:
SCHEDULE YOUR VIP DATE
The process begins with you selecting what day is best for your VIP day. Spots are limited so make sure you schedule as soon as you know you are ready to get your trademark application filed.
COMPLETE YOUR PRE-VIP DAY ONBOARDING DOCUMENTS
Next you will pay your invoice, sign the agreement to allow me to be your attorney of record, and fill out the questionnaire. That is all I will need to get ready for your VIP Day!
EXTENSIVE SEARCH & OPINION LETTER
On your VIP Day, the process begins with an extensive search to determine whether or not your name is available. This is more than just a google search or a knockout search on the USPTO website. We generate a report of over 100 pages and analyze it to determine your chances of getting your mark registered. I then will provide you with a letter giving my expert opinion on the likelihood of your mark getting filed and my recommendation on whether to move forward or not. We will also discuss the findings on a 15-30 minute call to make sure you have complete understanding before moving forward with your application.
CLASS DETERMINATION, CLASS DESCRIPTION & SPECIMEN CREATION
Next, based on our discussion and your questionnaire, I will do a class determination and specimen creation to include with the application which I will fill out and file. If necessary, we may need to get on another 15 minute call to review the classes before I fill out and file the application.
Lastly, I fill out and submit your application and your VIP Day is complete! Go cross “trademark” off of your to-do list!
APPLICATION PREPARATION & FILING
After your VIP Day
06.
Within 4-5 months an examining attorney will be assigned to your matter and will review the application and respond with any office actions. Office actions are complications, issues, or clarifications needed in regards to your mark that need to be addressed before your mark can move forward. These are handled by me and I will communicate with and respond to the examining attorney.
STEP
OFFICE ACTION RESOLVE
The next step is the publication period. This is when your mark is published for opposition, meaning that anyone who thinks they have rights to the name you are trying to trademark can petition to stop you from getting your mark registered. Although this isn’t common, and we try to avoid any opposition by completing the thorough search in step 1, it does occasionally happen.
PUBLICATION & NOTICE OF ALLOWANCE
The next step is the publication period. This is when your mark is published for opposition, meaning that anyone who thinks they have rights to the name you are trying to trademark can petition to stop you from getting your mark registered. Although this isn’t common, and we try to avoid any opposition by completing the thorough search in step 1, it does occasionally happen.
PUBLICATION & NOTICE OF ALLOWANCE
Once the 30 day publication period closes you will be issued a notice of allowance and your mark will be registered!
YOUR MARK IS REGISTERED

Federal filing fees are $350. These fees are for each class of goods/services you are filing in. One class of goods/services is included in the trademark VIP Day. Any additional classes you wish to file in will be an additional charge approved by you prior to filing.
What are the Federal Filing fees and are they included in the VIP Day?
What is the time committment required by me on the VIP Day?
Less than 2 hours! We will have (2) 15-30 minute calls scheduled to discuss findings before filing the application. You will also have to be available to respond to emails and approve documents within 15 minutes of receiving them. Otherwise I will handle everything else. The process is painless on your end and not a big time committment.
Your application will be filed on your VIP Day and you will receive confirmation of the filing and a copy of the application for your records. The trademark process takes between 8-18 months. Once your application is filed it takes 4-5 months for an examining attorney to be assigned to your mark and the process will move along from there.
How long does it take?
No, Your application will be submitted on your VIP Day and then the trademark process takes between 8-18 months. Once your application is filed it takes 4-5 months for an examining attorney to be assigned to your mark and the process will move along from there.
Does this mean my trademark will be registered on my VIP Day?
No, there is no way any attorney can ever guarantee a registration as each application is evaluated on a case by case basis by an examining attorney assigned by the US Patent and Trademark Office. We do our best to increase the chances of registration through the search process but nothing is ever guaranteed.
Do you guarantee my trademark will be registered?
YES! Trademarks are governed by federal law therefore you do not need to be in the same state as Alli to have her file your trademark.
When is the right time to trademark?
There are many reasons to have a trademark for your business, you can read more about the 10 most important reasons here but a trademark protects anyone else from using the same name or anything similar to yours. This is important to protect the brand and business you are building!
Why do I need a trademark?
The USPTO recommends hiring an attorney to file your trademark for you. The reason is there are many laws and rules regarding what is required to make your application acceptable and to ultimately get a registered trademark. Attorneys do this as their job full time and are experts in the field. If you want the best chance of getting your mark registered I highly recommend hiring an attorney to help you.
Why should I hire an attorney instead of doing it on my own?
I’m not in South Carolina, can Alli still file my trademark for me?
YES! Trademarks are governed by federal law therefore you do not need to be in the same state as Alli to have her file your trademark.
“Alli was absolutely wonderful to work with! Her process was professional, and she knew all of the questions to ask, ensuring no details were overlooked. Her thoughtful business insight was an unexpected bonus of working with her, and my business will no doubt benefit from her expertise. Not only have I recommended her to others, but I am already working with her on another project!”
- LAURA, FOUNDER OF ON CALL CONCIERGE CHARLESTON
“Alli was so wonderful to work with - professional, knowledgeable, personable, and super responsive! She turned my cobbled together contract into something I have so much faith in almost overnight while keeping it true to my business and my goals. I honestly was having anxiety dreams about my contract and immediately felt a sense of relief. This is something I should have done immediately when I created my business.”

“Navigating the ins and outs of my business requires a swift team, including my Small Business Attorney, Alli Elmunzer. Alli helped with key elements of my business such as orchestrating a custom Independent Contractor Contract and trademarking key programs within my business. My business moves so fast that I need a strategic attorney who specializes in my side of the world, and is able to help me navigate ongoing changes and needs within my company. Grateful Alli is the woman to make it happen and continue to keep my business legally protected!”
