Frequently Asked Questions

Can we skip or combine phases? +

Our process is built on interdependencies. Skipping discovery or legal screening often leads to costly rework later. However, timelines can be compressed by up to 20% if client decisions are made rapidly and internal approvals are pre-authorized.

What happens if a trademark is rejected? +

We conduct rigorous pre-filing clearance to minimize this risk. If an office action occurs, our legal partners draft responses. In rare cases where registration fails, we activate our backup naming strategy at no additional naming fee.

How many revision rounds are included?

Three structured revision rounds are included for branding assets. Naming rounds are unlimited until a name is selected from the vetted shortlist. Additional rounds beyond the limit are billed at our standard hourly rate.

Do you handle international trademark filings? +

Yes. We partner with verified IP attorneys in 40+ jurisdictions. International filings are available under our Enterprise tier and can be scoped during the Legal Foundation phase.
