Stokes Law Group · Brand Protection

Your brand is an asset.
Protect it like one.

A social media handle isn't a trademark. An LLC filing isn't brand protection. Domain registration isn't ownership. The only thing that gives you federal legal rights to your brand name, logo, and identity is a registered trademark — and we handle the entire process, attorney-led, from clearance to certificate.

Why This Can't Wait

Most founders don't lose their brand because they failed.

They lose it because they built without protection. Without a registered trademark, a competitor can legally use your brand name, register your logo, or file on your slogan — and once they do, recovering it is expensive, uncertain, and often impossible.

Social media handles, domain names, and LLC filings do not create legal ownership. Marketplaces, investors, licensing partners, and grant committees look for one thing when evaluating a brand: federal trademark registration.

If growth, monetization, or long-term legacy is part of your vision — trademark protection is not optional. It is foundational.

"This isn't just a trademark. This is your legacy's first line of defense."

Your Trademark Roadmap

From strategy call to registered mark — here's how it works.

01

Book a Strategy Session

One focused hour that diagnoses your brand's eligibility and charts your filing timeline.

02

Receive Your Clearance Opinion

A plain-language legal opinion delivered within 7 days — including risk assessment and next steps.

03

We File & Shepherd

We draft, submit, and track your application — updating you through your secure client portal at every stage.

04

Celebrate Registration

Certificate in hand, monitoring activated, and your next expansion searches already calendared.

After Registration

Registration is the beginning, not the finish line.

A registered trademark requires maintenance to stay active. Sections 8 and 15 filings between years 5 and 6. Renewal at year 10. Ongoing monitoring to catch infringers before they become a real problem.

We offer standalone maintenance and support services for brands at every stage — whether you registered with us or came to us after the fact.

Standalone Support Services
TM Renewal (Sections 8 & 15) $2,575
TM Renewal + Watch Services $2,500
TM Watch Services $3,500/yr
Office Action — Non-Substantive $1,000
Office Action — Substantive $2,500
Copyright Registration $2,565
Rebranding Package $1,000

Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

What is an Office Action and what happens if I get one?

An Office Action is a formal objection from the USPTO during your trademark application review — not a denial, but a legal challenge requiring a strategic written response within a strict deadline. Non-substantive Office Actions (procedural issues) are $1,000. Substantive Office Actions (likelihood of confusion, descriptiveness refusals) are $2,500. Legacy Builder™ and Logo Bogo™ clients have unlimited Office Action responses included at no additional cost.

Does my LLC or domain name protect my brand?

No. An LLC filing creates a legal business entity — it does not give you exclusive rights to use your business name as a brand. A domain name secures a web address. Neither provides the federal trademark protection needed to stop competitors from using your name, sue for infringement, or license your brand.

How long does the trademark process take?

We deliver your legal opinion letter within 7 days of intake and file with the USPTO within 14 days of your approval. Federal review typically takes 8–12 months depending on USPTO workload and whether Office Actions are issued. We track every milestone and keep you updated in real time throughout the process.

What does "filing fee included" mean?

All three of our trademark packages include the USPTO government filing fee for one trademark classification — baked directly into the package price. There are no additional fees at checkout. If your brand requires filing in multiple classes, that is discussed and disclosed during your strategy session before any commitment is made.

Which trademark package is right for me?

The Trademark Titan is best for founders who want fast, attorney-led registration without extended ongoing support. The Legacy Builder™ is our recommendation for most founders — it includes a full year of monitoring, quarterly check-ins, and the do-over guarantee. The Logo Bogo™ is for founders who need both a name and a logo protected at the same time.

What is the Built, Branded & Protected™ program?

It's an ongoing support benefit included with every SLG trademark package — not an upsell. It includes quarterly brand strategy check-ins, complimentary knockout searches for future marks, and an annual trademark watch report. It was built to ensure our clients are protected beyond the filing date as their brand continues to evolve.

Can you tell me if my name will be approved before I pay?

Trademark eligibility requires a formal legal review — we cannot give a binding opinion before completing the appropriate clearance process. That's exactly what the strategy session and legal opinion letter are for. We assess risk, identify conflicts, and give you a clear picture of your options before you commit to filing.

Every Client Matters

Your legacy, wealth, and protection are our priority.

Start with a $500 Strategy Session — one hour with Attorney Stokes to assess your brand's eligibility, identify your risk, and build a clear protection roadmap. Applied directly to your retainer if you retain the firm within 14 days.
