The Process

Six stages. One attorney-led path.

Every Secure Mark engagement follows the same disciplined workflow — so you always know what's happening with your application.

  1. Stage 01

    Intake & strategy

    We capture your mark, the goods and services you sell, and your priority states. Our team translates that into a USPTO-ready filing plan.

  2. Stage 02

    Federal clearance search

    We screen against active federal registrations, pending applications, and common-law marks to surface conflicts before the USPTO sees them.

  3. Stage 03

    Attorney review

    A licensed U.S. IP attorney reviews your classifications, specimen, and disclaimers — flagging the choices that affect approval odds.

  4. Stage 04

    USPTO filing

    Once you approve, we file electronically with the USPTO and become the attorney of record on the application.

  5. Stage 05

    Office action handling

    If the examining attorney raises an issue, we draft and file the response on your behalf within the deadline.

  6. Stage 06

    Registration & monitoring

    When the mark registers, we deliver your certificate and (on eligible plans) actively monitor for infringers.
