Pursuant to 37 C.F.R. § 11.27(b), the Director of the United States Patent and

Director of the Office of Emollment and Discipline ("OED Director") an Affidavit For

Consent Exclusion pursuant to 37 C.F.R. § 11.27, executed by Matthew H. Swyers

("Respondent") on December 20, 2016. Respondent submitted the twelve-page Affidavit

For Consent Exclusion to the USPTO for the purpose of being excluded on consent

pursuant to 37 C.F.R. § 11.27.

For the reasons set forth herein, Respondent's Affidavit For Consent Exclusion

shall be approved, and Respondent shall be excluded on consent from practice before the

Office in trademark and non-patent matters commencing on the date of this Final Order.

Jurisdiction

Respondent, of Vienna, Virginia, is an attorney licensed to practice law in the

Commonwealth of Virginia and the District of Columbia and has practiced before the

USPTO in trademark matters. As such, he is subject to the USPTO Code of Professional


Case 5:18-cv-00043 Document 1-1 Filed 01/03/18 Page 13 of 137

Responsibility, which is set forth at 37 C.F.R. § 10.20 et seq., and the USPTO Rules of

Professional Conduct, which are set forth at 37 C.F.R. §§ 11.101through11.901.1

Pursuant to 35 U.S.C. §§ 2(b)(2)(D) and 32 and 37 C.F.R. § 11.27, the USPTO

Director has the authority to approve Respondent's Affidavit for Consent Exclusion and

to exclude Respondent on consent from the practice of trademark and non-patent matters

before the Office.

Allegations of the Disciplinary Complaint

A disciplinary complaint is pending against Respondent (Proceeding No. 2016-20)

which alleges that:

a. Respondent, an experienced trademark lawyer and former USPTO


Trademark Examining Attorney, established The Trademark
Company, PLLC, and through that business systematically
permitted non-attorneys to practice trademark law for him with little
or no supervision.

b. Respondent, the sole attorney at the company, did not personally


review or sign thousands of trademark applications and related
documents (including statements of use, § 2(f) declarations, and
responses to Office actions) prepared by his non-lawyer employees
and filed with the USPTO, in violation of USPTO signature and
certification rules and despite assurances on the company website
that trademark applicants would be represented by a specialized
attorney.

c. As a result of Respondent's failure to supervise his employees,


multiple fraudulent or digitally manipulated specimens of use were
filed with the Office, which potentially jeopardized the trademark
applications of his clients.

1 The USPTO Code of Professional Responsibility applies to conduct prior to May 3, 2013, and
the USPTO Rules of Professional Conduct apply to conduct on or after May 3, 2013.

2
Case 5:18-cv-00043 Document 1-1 Filed 01/03/18 Page 14 of 137

d. Respondent failed to deposit client funds paid in advance into a


client trust account and improperly split legal fees with his non-
practitioner employees.

e. Respondent failed to respond to lawful requests for information or


cooperate with the investigation conducted by the Office of
Enrollment and Discipline.

Respondent's Affidavit For Consent Exclusion

Respondent acknowledges in his December 20, 2016 Affidavit For Consent

Exclusion that:

1. His consent is freely and voluntarily rendered, and he is not being subjected

to coercion or duress.

2. He is aware that the disciplinary complaint filed against him (Proceeding

No. D2016-20) alleges that he violated the following Disciplinary Rules of the USPTO

have known that the validity of an applicants' applications
and registrations were jeopardized by the false and/ or forged
declarations; and/ or (ii) he knew or should have known his

20
Case 5:18-cv-00043 Document 1-1 Filed 01/03/18 Page 32 of 137

Notice of Exclusion on Consent

This notice concerns Matthew H. Swyers of Vienna, Virginia, an


attorney licensed to practice law in the Commonwealth of Virginia
and the District of Columbia and practicing before the United States
Patent and Trademark Office ("USPTO" or "Office) in trademark
matters. The Director of the USPTO has accepted Mr. Swyers'
affidavit for consent exclusion and ordered his exclusion on consent
from practice before the Office in trademark and non-patent matters.

Mr. Swyers voluntarily submitted his affidavit at a time when a


disciplinary complaint was pending against him. The complaint
alleged that Mr. Swyers, an experienced trademark lawyer and
former USPTO Trademark Examining Attorney, established The
Trademark Company, PLLC, and through that business
systematically permitted non-attorneys to practice trademark law
for him with little or no supervision. The complaint alleged that Mr.
Swyers, the sole attorney at the company, did not personally review
or sign thousands of trademark applications and related documents
(including statements of use, § 2(f) declarations, and responses to
Office actions) prepared by his non-lawyer employees and filed with
the USPTO, in violation of USPTO signature and certification rules
and despite assurances on the company website that trademark
applicants would be represented by a specialized attorney. Further,
the complaint alleged that, as a result of Mr. Swyers' failure to
supervise his employees, multiple fraudulent or digitally
manipulated specimens of use were filed with the Office, which
potentially jeopardized the trademark applications of his clients. The
complaint also asserted that Mr. Swyers failed to deposit client funds
paid in advance into a client trust account and improperly split legal
fees with his non-practitioner employees. Finally, the complaint
alleged that Mr. Swyers failed to respond to lawful requests for
information or cooperate with the investigation conducted by the
Office of Enrollment and Discipline.

Mr. Swyers' affidavit acknowledged that the disciplinary complaint


filed against him alleged that his conduct violated the following
provisions of the USPTO Code of Professional Responsibility, for
conduct prior to May 3, 2013: 37 C.F.R. §§ 10.23(a) (engaging in
disreputable or gross misconduct); 10.23(b)(4) (engaging in conduct
involving dishonesty, fraud, deceit, or misrepresentation);

21
Case 5:18-cv-00043 Document 1-1 Filed 01/03/18 Page 33 of 137

10.23(b)(5) (engaging in conduct prejudicial to the administration of


justice); 10.23(a) and (b) via 10.23(c)(2)(ii) (knowingly giving false or
misleading information or knowingly participating in a material
way in giving false or misleading information to the USPTO or any
employee of the USPTO); 10.23(a) and (b) via 10.23(c)(15) (violating
the certifications made to the USPTO under 37 C.F.R. § 11.18);
10.31(a) (deceiving or misleading prospective applicants or other
persons having immediate or prospective business before the Office
by advertising with respect to prospective business before the
Office); 10.47(a) and (c) (aiding a non-practitioner in the
unauthorized practice of law before the Office); 10.48 (sharing legal
fees with a non-practitioner); 10.77(b) (handling a legal matter
without preparation adequate under the circumstances); 10.77(c)
(neglecting client matters); 10.84(a)(1) (intentionally failing to seek
the lawful objectives of a client); 10.84(a)(3) (intentionally
prejudicing or damaging the client during the course of a
professional relationship); 10.89(c)(6) (intentionally or habitually
violating any provision of the USPTO Code of Professional
Responsibility while appearing in a professional capacity before a
tribunal); 10.112(a) (failing to deposit legal fees paid in advance into
a separate client trust account); and 10.23(b)(6) (engaging in other
conduct that adversely reflects on the practitioner's fitness to
practice before the Office).

Mr. Swyers's affidavit also acknowledged that the disciplinary


complaint alleged that his conduct violated the following provisions
of the USPTO Rules of Professional Conduct, for conduct on or after
May 3, 2013: 37 C.F.R. §§ 11.101 (failure to provide competent
representation); 11.104(a)(3) (failing to keep the clients reasonably
informed about the status of a matter); 11.115(a) (failing to hold
property of a client or third person that is in the lawyer's possession
in connection with a representation separate from the lawyer's own
property); 11.115(c) (failing to deposit into a client trust account legal
fees and expenses that have been paid in advance, to be withdrawn
by the practitioner only as fees are earned or expenses incurred);
11.303(a)(1)(knowingly making a false statement of fact to a tribunal
or failing to correct a false statement of material fact previously made
to the tribunal); 11.303( d) (failing, in an ex parte proceeding, to inform
the tribunal of all material facts known to the practitioner that will
enable the tribunal to make an informed decision, even if the facts
are adverse); 11.503(a) (failing to make reasonable efforts to ensure
that The Trademark Company had in effect measures giving
reasonable assurance that its employees' conduct was compatible

22
Case 5:18-cv-00043 Document 1-1 Filed 01/03/18 Page 34 of 137

with Respondent's professional obligations); 11.503(b) (failing to


make reasonable efforts to ensure that the conduct of The Trademark
Company employees over whom he had direct supervisory
authority was compatible with Respondent's professional
obligations); 11.503(c) (ordering or ratifying the conduct of the
employees of The Trademark Company which would have been a
violation of the USPTO Rules of Professional Conduct had it been
committed by a practitioner, and/ or failing to take remedial
measures once he learned of the conduct); 11.504(a) (sharing legal
fees with a non-practitioner); 11.505 (aiding in the unauthorized
practice of law before the USPTO); 11.701 (making false or
misleading communications about the practitioner or the
practitioner's services); 11.801 (b) (failing to cooperate with the Office
of Emollment and Discipline in an investigation); 11.804(c)
(engaging in conduct involving dishonesty, fraud, deceit or
misrepresentation); 11.804(d) (engaging in conduct that is prejudicial
to the administration of justice); and 11.804(i) (engaging in the acts
and omissions that adversely reflect on Respondent's fitness to
practice before the Office).

While Mr. Swyers did not admit to violating any of the Disciplinary
Rules of the USPTO Code of Professional Responsibility or the
USPTO Rules of Professional Conduct as alleged in the pending
disciplinary complaint, he acknowledged that, if and when he
applies for reinstatement, the OED Director will conclusively
presume, for the limited purpose of determining the application for
reinstatement, that (i) the allegations set forth in the OED
investigation against him are true, and (ii) he could not have
successfully defended himself against such allegations.

This action is taken pursuant to the provisions of 35 U.S.C.


§§ 2(b)(2)(D) and 32, and 37 C.F.R. §§ 11.27 and 11.59. Disciplinary
decisions involving practitioners are posted for public reading at the

Notice of Discipline

This notice concerns Tracy W. Druce of Houston, Texas (Registration No.


35,493), who previously left the United States Patent and Trademark Office
("USPTO" or "Office") register of practitioners. The USPTO Director has
ordered that, if Mr. Druce is reinstated to the register of practitioners, then he
shall be suspended from practice before the Office in patent, trademark, and
other non-patent matters for twenty-four (24) months, with the entirety of the
suspension stayed, for violating 37 C.F.R. § 10.77(c) (a practitioner shall not
neglect a legal matter entrusted to the practitioner), Mr . .Druce wi11 also be
required to serve a twenty-four (24) month period of probation upon being
reinstated to the register ..

Mr. Druce was responsible for the supervision of a non-lawyer


assistant who, from at least 2004 through 2006, submitted, with intent
to deceive, knowingly false statements to the Office in many patent
applications that Mr, Druce was responsible for prosecuting on behalf
of clients. The non-lawyer assistant did the following: (1) fabricated
email confirmation messages and submitted the fabricated emails to
the Office as evidence that papers had been sent to the Office via
facsimile transmission when, in fact, the papers were never sent to the

8
Case 5:18-cv-00043 Document 1-1 Filed 01/03/18 Page 45 of 137

Office; (2) affixed USPTO receipt stamps to postcards and submitted


the doctored postcard receipts to the Office as evidence that the Office
had received papers when, in fact, the papers were never sent to the
Office; (3) fabricated a United States Postal Service Express Mail label
that falsely represented that a patent application had been mailed to the
Office on a certain date when, in fact, the application had never been
sent to the Office; and (4) backdated certificates of mailing that falsely
represented that papers had beep mailed to the Office weeks and/or
months earlier than they actually had been sent.

The violation of37 C.F.R. § 10.77(c) is predicated upon Mr. Druce


not adequately supervising a non-lawyer assistant.

Mr. Druce represents that he did not have actual knowledge of the
non-lawyer assistant's false submissions to the Office, and the non-
lawyer assistant represents that he acted alone and kept his misconduct
secret from Mr. Druce.

In reaching a settlement with Mr. Druce, OED Director took into


consideration the following: (a) the non-lawyer assistarit's misconduct
occurred many years ago in 2004, 2005, and 2006; (b) Mr. Druce
cooperated with the investigation of the facts and circumstances
involved in this disciplinary proceeding; and (c) Mr. Druce will take
prompt action to notify present and former clients about the
misconduct committed in patent applications where patents were
granted.

This action is the result of a settlement agreement between Respondent


and the OED Director pursuant to the provisions of 35 U.S.C.
§§ 2(b)(2)(D) and 32 and 37 C.F.R. §§ 11.26 and 11.59. Disciplinary
decisions involving practitioners are posted for public reading at the
Office of Enrollment and Discipline Reading Room, available at:
http://e-foia.uspto.gov/Foia/OEDReadingRoom.jsp.

ii. Nothing in this Agreement or the Final Order approving this Agreement shall
prevent the Office from considering the record of this disciplinary proceeding (1)
when addressing any further complaint or evidence of the same or similar
misconduct concerning Respondent brought to the attention of the Office; andlor
(2) in any future disciplinary proceeding against Respondent (a) as an aggravating
factor to be taken into consideration in determining any discipline to be imposed
andlor (b) to rebut any statement or representation by or on Respondent's behalf;

jj. The OED Director shall file a motion with the administrative law judge requesting
the dismissal of the pending disciplinary proceeding within fourteen (14) days of
the date ofthe Final Order; and

these pages for your own records. If the Mark and Specimens appear huge, click here.

Note: It is important that you review this information for accuracy and completeness now. Corrections after submission may not be permissible, thereby possibly

STEP 2: If there are no errors and you are ready to file this application electronically, confirm the e-mail address for acknowledgment. Once you submit the form
electronically, we will send an electronic acknowledgment of receipt to the e-mail address entered below. If no e-mail address appears, you must enter one. If we
should send the acknowledgment to a different e-mail address, or to an additional address(es), please enter the proper address or additional address(es). For multiple
addresses/receipts, please separate e-mail addresses by either a semicolon or a comma.
NOTE: This e-mail address is only for the purpose of receiving the acknowledgment that the transmission reached the USPTO, and is not related to the e-mail that will be used for correspondence purposes
(although it could be the same address. The official e-mail address that the USPTO will use for any future communication is whatever appears in the specific correspondence section of the form.)

STEP 3: Read and check the following:

Important Notice:

(1) Once you submit this application, we will not cancel the filing or refund your fee. The fee is a processing fee, which we do not refund even if we cannot
issue a registration after our substantive review. This is true regardless of how soon after submission you might attempt to request cancellation of the filing.
Therefore, please review ALL information carefully prior to transmission.

(2) All information you submit to the USPTO at any point in the application and/or registration process will become public record, including your name, phone
number, e-mail address, and street address. By filing this application, you acknowledge that YOU HAVE NO RIGHT TO CONFIDENTIALITY in the
information disclosed. The public will be able to view this information in the USPTO's on-line databases and through internet search engines and other on-line
databases. This information will remain public even if the application is later abandoned or any resulting registration is surrendered, cancelled, or expired. To
maintain confidentiality of banking or credit card information, only enter payment information in the secure portion of the site after validating your form. For any
information that may be subject to copyright protection, by submitting it to the USPTO, the filer is representing that he or she has the authority to grant, and is
granting, the USPTO permission to make the information available in its on-line database and in copies of the application or registration record.

(3) Be aware that private companies not associated with the USPTO often use trademark application and registration information from the USPTO's
databases to mail or e-mail trademark-related solicitations (samples of non-USPTO solicitations included).

If you have read and understand the above notice, please check the box before you click on the Pay/Submit button.

STEP 4: If you are ready to file electronically:


Click on the Pay/Submit button below, to access the site where you will select one of three possible payment methods. After successful entry of payment
information, you can complete the submission to the USPTO. A valid transaction will result in a screen that says SUCCESS! Also, we will send an e-mail
acknowledgment within 24 hours.
WARNING: Click on the Pay/Submit button ONLY if you are now entirely prepared to complete the Pay/Submit process. After clicking the button, you can NOT
return to the form, since you will have left the TEAS site entirely. Once in the separate payment site, you must complete the Pay/Submit process within 30 minutes.
WARNING: Fee payments by credit card may not be made from 2 a.m. to 6 a.m. Sunday, Eastern Standard Time. If you are attempting to file during that specific

Applicants and registrants represented by excluded


parties
If the USPTO suspects that a party, whether an individual or a firm, is engaging in unauthorized practice of trademark law or otherwise improper activities
before the USPTO, the Commissioner for Trademarks may issue a show-cause order. A show-cause order requires the party to establish the legitimacy of
their activities and to explain why they should not be excluded from acting on behalf of others before the USPTO. Depending on the party’s response, a
show-cause order may be followed by an exclusion order, which formally excludes the party from serving as an attorney, correspondent, domestic
representative, and/or signatory in trademark matters before the USPTO.

Review copies of show-cause orders and exclusion orders issued by the Commissioner for Trademarks

Get information on unauthorized practice of trademark law and who may practice before the USPTO in trademark matters

Once a party has been excluded, the USPTO will change the correspondence address for each affected application or registration file record to that of the
applicant, registrant, or domestic representative, as appropriate, and will notify the affected applicant or registrant that:

The excluded party is not entitled to practice before the USPTO in trademark matters and, therefore, may not represent the applicant or
registrant.
 
Any power of attorney granted to the excluded party is void ab initio, meaning it was invalid from the start of any action taken by the excluded
party.
 
The excluded party may not sign responses to Office actions, authorize examiner’s amendments or priority actions, conduct interviews with
USPTO employees, or otherwise represent an applicant, registrant, or party to a proceeding before the Office.

All correspondence concerning the application or registration will be sent to the domestic representative if one has been appointed, or,
alternatively, and in most circumstances, to the applicant or registrant at its address of record. 

What to do if the USPTO excluded the party representing you


 
(1)  Review your application/registration record

Go to the Trademark Status & Document Retrieval (TSDR) system and enter your serial number or registration number to retrieve the record for
your application or registration.

(2)  Review your contact information 

Once you have retrieved your application/registration record in TSDR, select the “Status” tab and review the Attorney/Correspondence Information
to confirm that the correspondence information is correct.

If the correspondence information is incorrect, correct it by filing a Change of Correspondence Address form. If necessary, you may also change the
owner’s address information, using the Change of Owner’s Address form. Both forms are available at Correspondence and Attorney/Domestic
Representative Forms. 

(3)  Determine if you are required to file anything 

Select the “Documents” tab in TSDR and view the outgoing correspondence from the USPTO in the record to determine if you are required to file
anything in connection with your application or registration, such as a response to an Office action, a statement of use, or a registration maintenance
document. 

If your application is still pending and you fail to file a required document before the deadline, your application will be abandoned. If your mark is
already registered, and you fail to submit the required registration maintenance documents on time, your registration will expire or be cancelled.  All
required documents may be filed electronically by using the appropriate electronic form in the Trademark Electronic Application System (TEAS).

After your initial review of your application or registration record, continue to monitor the status of your application or registration, using the
“Status” tab in TSDR.

For applications, you should check the status every six months between the filing date of the application and issuance of a registration. 
 
If your mark is already registered and you have filed an affidavit of use or excusable nonuse under §8 or §71 of the Trademark Act, or a
renewal application under §9 of the Act, you should check the status of the registration every six months until you receive notice that the
affidavit or renewal application has been accepted.

Questions? 

For pending applications, contact the assigned examining attorney, whose contact information is provided in Office actions sent in
connection with your application. In TSDR, Office actions are identified as “Offc Action Outgoing” in the “Documents” tab. For registrations,
contact the assigned Post Registration specialist, whose contact information will be provided in any Office action sent in connection with
registration maintenance filings, or the Office of Petitions at 571-272-8950.

For general questions about the trademark process, guidance on the type of information required in a particular electronic form, or
information about which USPTO offices or employees to contact for particular issues, contact the Trademark Assistance Center at            
571-272-9250, or toll-free at 1-800-786-9199. You can also email TrademarkAssistanceCenter@uspto.gov.

(4)  Review all documents previously submitted on your behalf

If your application is still pending, and a registration has not yet issued, you should review any documents submitted on your behalf to confirm that
it was signed by the appropriate party and that all the information in the document is correct. If you believe that any submitted document was
improperly signed or contains incorrect information, you should contact the assigned examining attorney, who can answer questions about the
process for resubmitting documents. 

If your mark is already registered and registration maintenance documents have been submitted on your behalf, you should review the documents to
confirm that they contain accurate information and are properly signed.  If you have any questions about a registration maintenance document
submitted on your behalf, you may contact the assigned Post Registration specialist whose contact information will be provided in any Office action
sent in connection with registration maintenance filings, or the Office of Petitions at 571-272-8950.

For additional information on who may sign documents submitted to the USPTO in connection with trademark applications and registrations, see
Proper Representation in Trademark Matters and TMEP §§611.03–611.04.

(5)  Consider hiring a qualified attorney to represent you

Consider hiring a qualified attorney with expertise in trademark matters to represent you in the application process. While a USPTO trademark
examining attorney will try to help you through the examination process even if you do not hire an attorney, USPTO attorneys are not permitted to
give you legal advice.

A private trademark attorney who is licensed in the United States and is authorized to practice before the USPTO may:

Help you avoid future costly legal problems by conducting a comprehensive search of federal registrations, state registrations, and
"common law" unregistered trademarks before you file your application. Comprehensive searches are important because other trademark
owners may have protected legal rights in trademarks similar to yours that are not federally registered. Therefore, those trademarks will not
appear in our Trademark Electronic Search System database, but they could still ultimately prevent your use of your mark.
 
Help you during the application process with several things that could seriously impact your trademark rights, such as determining the best
way to describe your goods and services and preparing responses to refusals to register your mark that we may issue.
 
Assist you after your mark is registered by filing registration maintenance documents and by taking actions to help you police and enforce
your trademark rights. While the USPTO registers trademarks, you, as the trademark owner, are fully responsible for any enforcement of
your private trademark rights.

If you decide to hire an attorney, you should be aware that, under U.S. federal regulations, the only individuals who may represent an applicant or
registrant in trademark matters before the USPTO, other than certain previously authorized trademark agents, are (1) attorneys who are licensed to
practice in the United States and (2) Canadian agents or attorneys who are authorized by the USPTO to represent applicants located in Canada. 
Employing a foreign attorney or other individual who is not authorized to practice before the USPTO to represent you in connection with your
trademark application may delay and prolong the trademark application examination process and could jeopardize the validity of any resulting
registration.

The USPTO has established a Law School Clinic program in which participating law schools provide free legal services to trademark applicants in
connection with trademark applications before the USPTO.  Each school in the program has its own criteria for accepting clients. If you are interested,
you should contact a participating school to inquire about becoming a client.  For a list of schools participating in this program and additional
information about the program, visit Law School Clinic Certification Program.

Representation in Trademark Matters.

 
What to do when your application is abandoned

Page 59 of 137
When an application is abandoned, it means that the application is no longer pending and, thus, a registration will not be issued. The USPTO may deem
your application abandoned if you fail to submit a response to an Office action or fail to respond completely to an Office action; if you fail to respond to a
suspension inquiry; or if you fail to file a statement of use.  In addition, an application may be “expressly abandoned,” meaning that the applicant has
requested that application be abandoned and that no further prosecution of the application will occur.

In some cases, you may file a petition to revive an abandoned application or request that an abandoned application be reinstated. More information about
abandonment and the process of reviving or reinstating an abandoned application may be found at Abandoned Applications.
 

What to do if your registration expires or is cancelled


 
Once your mark is registered, you, as the registration owner, must file specific documents and pay the required fees at regular intervals to keep the
registration "alive" or valid. Failure to file these documents or pay the required fees will result in the cancellation or expiration of your registration.

If you failed to timely respond to an Office action refusing to accept a §8 affidavit, §71 affidavit, or §9 renewal application due to an extraordinary
situation, you may file a formal petition under 37 C.F.R. §§2.146(a)(5) and 2.148 to accept a late response.  You may file the petition electronically using the
Petition to the Director under Trademark Rule 2.146 form, available at Petition Forms. You must file the petition within two months of the issue date of the
cancellation notice.  If you did not receive the cancellation notice, or no cancellation notice was issued, you must file the petition must within two months
of the date the Trademark database was updated to indicate that the registration expired or was cancelled.  

If your registration expires or is cancelled, but you have proof that a USPTO error led to the cancellation or expiration, you may file a request to
reinstate a cancelled or expired registration.  You may file the request electronically using the Petition to the Director under Trademark Rule 2.146 form,
available at Petition Forms. Although a petition fee is required in order to file the form, it will be refunded if USPTO error is found.  For a list of examples of
situations where the USPTO may reinstate a cancelled or expired registration, please see TMEP §1712.02(a).

Save $1000 from using a Trademark Attorney - Per Trademark

Save $! Trademark attorneys, whose normal fees range from $250 to $350 per hour will charge $1000 to $3000 per trademark for comprehensive research and
filing. This is your chance to save $, because the secret is those same attorneys are going to outsource the comprehensive research to a company like us anyway,
who specializes in research, which takes 4-5 hours per trademark. What attorney will spend that much time on 1 trademark? They won’t. We will. The entire
trademark process takes 6-8 hours per mark, per country + database costs. 1/2 price “filing services” are negligent when they skip the needed comprehensive
research. Not what the USPTO recommends! Lots of refusals, cease & desists. True trademark or common law owners have 6 years to enforce, protect their
marks. The USPTO refuses 39% of their trademark filings from these 1/2 price trademark companies and people that file themselves. Trademark attorneys or
specialists like us are the way to go. We will save you a lot of $ from attorneys doing all the work, and spare you from disaster from the 1/2 price TM companies
who are just going to file your trademark with a mere preliminary direct hit search – which takes a mere 5 minutes. Not enough! If Your Research Isn’t
Comprehensive – It Isn’t Done!

3-Step True Comprehensive Research to Determine IF Your Trademark is Legally Clear

Since 1992, we are the ONLY trademark company to offer Step-By-Step comprehensive research – thereby economizing your research fee. Your mark needs to be
legally clear at each step, based upon trademark law, whereas similarities in sound, appearance and/or meaning matter – before we proceed to the next step.
Trademark attorney consultations included. We have 5 trademark attorneys to determine if any conflict or similarity is close enough to affect your legal use, over
the next 6 years. IF blocked, simply Rollover your remaining fee. The USPTO, CIPO & EUIPO are not your only hurdles. There are State trademarks in the USA
and Common Law users with prior first use rights that may affect your legal use.

Free Trademark Audit

Got a flurry of trademarks? Trademarks all over? Not sure what you have? Not as uncommon a problem as you think! You’re busy! As companies grow,
over the years, new products and services are developed. Owners file trademarks. Attorneys add trademarks, Employees add trademarks. Product and
service trade names, slogans and logos come and go. Trademark lifespans are in 10 year increments in the USA and Europe, 15 years in Canada. Days go
by. Years. More years! People forget about their firm’s valuable trademarks. Their competitors count on this out of sight, out of mind busyness / laziness
because they will gain rights to the exact same names, slogans and logos – when the owner (you) never enforces their trademarks. Enforcement is an
actual obligation of having a trademark – to enforce it. Government agencies – USPTO, CIPO and EUIPO will block infringing filers, but they are not
going to notify you about it. This is your job. Letting someone use YOUR mark long enough, over 5 years in fact, is called ACQUIESCENCE. This
means you GAVE AWAY your trademark rights to ALL infringers because you simply, silently never chose toORDER enforce yourMY TRADEMARK

Trademark Express Privacy Policy

Our Commitment to Privacy


TradeMark Express is deeply committed to your right to privacy and takes your privacy seriously. We have
very strict privacy policies and we strive to keep your personal and financial information secure.
This Privacy Policy (‘Privacy Policy’) covers TradeMark Express’s treatment of personally identifiable
information that TradeMark Express collects when you are on the TradeMark Express website (the
‘Site’), and when you use TradeMark Express’s services.
We pledge to hold all information you provide to us in absolute privacy.
We will NEVER sell or rent your name, email address or personal information to any third party except
to fulfill your order, unless specifically authorized by you.
We are audited by some of the top internet security companies.
Only authorized employees may access your information.
All employees are required to adhere to our strict privacy policies and any employee who violates the
Privacy Policy is subject to termination and other disciplinary measures, up to and including criminal
prosecution for their violation.

Traffic Data and Information : Through the combination of both internal and third party tracking code as
well as cookies, the following categories of information are tracked when a visitor enters the site: (1) IP
address, (2) domain servers, (3) type of computer used to access the Site, (4) types of web browsers
(collectively ‘Traffic Data’). TradeMark Express uses such data for general marketing purposes and in
order to help enhance customer experience on the website.
We may use third-party advertising companies to serve ads on our behalf. These companies may employ
cookies and action tags also known as single pixel gifs or web beacons to measure advertising
effectiveness. Any information that these third parties collect via cookies and action tags is completely
anonymous.
Personal Information : In order for each customer to access and utilize TradeMark Express’s search and
legal document products and services, TradeMark Express requires each customer to provide us with
personal information (collectively ‘Personally Identifiable Information’).
Personally Identifiable Information includes: (1) ‘Contact Data’ (such as your first and last name, physical
street address, city, state, zip code, phone number and email address), (2) ‘Financial Data’ (such as your
credit card number, expiration date, and verification code), (3) ‘Demographic Data’ (such as your zip code
and gender), and (4) other ‘Legal Data’ (such as your trademark filing date, trademark pending number,
mailing information, domicile information and other sensitive information necessary to generate proper
legal documents).
Please be advised that certain personal information becomes public record upon the filing of documents
with the federal government or a regulatory agency. For example, the applicant name and content of a
trademark application becomes public after filing with the United States Patent & Trademark Office. In
many cases, the United States Patent & Trademark Office will provide this information to third parties for a
fee. The US Patent and Trademark Office will also make public the names and addresses of trademark
registrants. In some states, fictitious business names, including the name and address of the business
owner, must be published in a newspaper. TradeMark Express’s privacy policy does not cover actions by
these third parties.
Please note that Contact Data and Traffic Data is used to gather general statistics regarding our
customers and visitors respectively, in order to enhance the consumer experience on the website. We
may also use demographic data in a manner that does not identify you specifically or allow you to be
contacted but does identify certain criteria about our users in general. For example, we may inform third
parties about the number of registered users, number of unique visitors, and the pages most frequently
browsed.
We also use Contact Data such as name, physical address and email address to provide special
information and promotions regarding our products or in order to contact the customer regarding an order.
Any Financial Data gathered is used strictly for the purposes of processing or completing the financial
transaction for your order.
Confidentiality and Security of Personal Information. As stated above, we will keep your Personally
Identifiable Data private, and will not share it with third parties unless you specifically approve of the
disclosure, or if TradeMark Express is required by law to comply with a valid legal requirement such as
law, federal regulation, search warrant, subpoena or court order.
Opting Out. You may choose not to provide us with any Personally Identifiable Information or you may
turn off cookies in your browser by changing its settings.
If you do not wish to receive information and/or promotional materials from TradeMark Express, you may
choose to unsubscribe from our mailing list on any one of the promotions or other materials we send.
If you would like to learn more or opt out of receiving online display advertising that is tailored to your
interests, please visit the Networking Advertising Initiative at :
http://www.networkadvertising.org/managing/opt_out.asp or
The Digital Advertising Alliance at http://aboutads.info/choices.
If you delete your cookies, use a different browser, or buy a new computer, you will need to renew your
online display advertising opt-out choice.
Third Party Websites : TradeMark Express may maintain links to other websites. If you choose to visit
other websites, we are not responsible for the Privacy Practices or content of those other websites, and it
is your responsibility to review the Privacy Policies at those websites to confirm that you understand and
agree with their policies.
Retention of Records : TradeMark Express currently retains Personally Identifiable Information for a
period of eight years. The reason for this lies in the fact that oftentimes, users will request their legal
documents for revision and update purposes.
Our Commitment To Data Security : We strive to make certain that our servers and connections
incorporate the latest encryption and security devices. To prevent unauthorized access, we have
implemented physical, electronic, and managerial procedures to safeguard and secure the information we
collect. Credit card and personal information are transmitted to us by secure servers. Documents are
delivered to you either via priority mail or via e-mail.
User Access to Order Information. If you contact TradeMark Express, we will give you or anyone listed as
a contact for your account information about your order. If you want someone to have access to your
order, you must list them as a contact or they will not be able to obtain information. You can confirm who
is listed as a contact for your account by calling our Customer Support line at 707-822-7080 and speaking
to a representative.
Lost or Stolen Data : TradeMark Express has security measures in place to prevent the loss, misuse,
destruction, and alteration of the information you provide us. We will have no liability to you or to any third
party if any such loss, misuse, destruction, or alteration occurs.
If for any reason you believe that your privacy has been breached through the use of our site, you
may contact us immediately at 650-948-0530.

National Common-Law files.
Every new business owner needs to ensure that their new business name is legally available. Prior to investing your time, money & effort into a
name, comprehensive research should be conducted to ensure that the name you’re interested in is truly available to use.
This entails searching the pending & registered Federal and State trademark files as well as the US National Common-Law files.
How it work :
We will conduct a free preliminary search of the USPTO TESS database. If clear, we will move to the next research step.

TradeMark Express will email you a quick worksheet for you to complete so we may write your trademark application, including a professional
representation of your goods or services associated with your trademark. Once received, we will then prepare and submit your Federal
trademark application. Please allow 2 – 3 days service time.

Our trademark application preparation and filing does not include step-by-step comprehensive research. We will analyze other firms research to
make sure it is comprehensive before filing. State or Federal USPTO trademark filing fees vary and are not included in application preparation
service. Your filing fee is due when we electronically file your State (filing fees range widely, per State) or Federal USPTO trademark
application $275 per class. Filing fees are separate from TradeMark Express’ service fees.

Rollover Policy
The TradeMark Express Premium & Value packages are non refundable. Any remaining funds may be applied toward future research. This policy
is advantageous to our clients for many reasons :
Trademark Express Premium Package Details:
Even if you decide to not pursue the name, you will want to search another name for your service and/or product line. This policy enables you to
use the funds on an “as-needed” basis.

For example, if Name One is blocked on the US Federal & State trademark levels, then you’ve only spent $200 of your $500 original Premium
Package. Another comprehensive research & application package can be ordered for Name Two anytime, using the remaining $300 balance plus a
new trademark research fee for the new name. No trademark research company or attorney offers this exclusive TradeMark Express exclusive
step-by-step benefit. Please note, we work on your trademark application from the outset of your order, whether or not your name, logo or slogan is
legally clear or not. We will not file your trademark, until your and your mark are ready!
If you have other trademark filings, it’s strongly recommended that comprehensive research be conducted every 2-3 years to ensure that no
other mark is infringing upon you. It’s each applicant’s responsibility to police their own mark – the USPTO will not do this for you.
By offering step-by-step research, TradeMark Express ensures that each client only pay for what is necessary. Other search companies offer a
package as well; however, the main difference is that both searches are done REGARDLESS of the findings. By doing the research in steps,
TradeMark Express saves its’ clients time, money and effort by NOT doing unnecessary research. For instance, if there is an Exact Conflict in the
US Federal & State trademark files, then why would you want the US National Common-Law search? It makes much more sense (common and
financial) to rollover that remaining balance towards a new name/search.

Pay As You Go
TradeMark Express will search your mark in the pending & registered Federal and State trademark files AND in the US National Common-Law files
and if clear, prepare AND file your US Federal trademark application – each step will be completed per your request.
How it work :
$200 US Federal & State trademark research & analysis – After conducting a free preliminary USPTO search, TradeMark Express will search the

Federal & State Trademark Details


Trademark Express Premium Package Details :
Our combined Federal & State trademark search determines whether your proposed name is available for trademarking in the United States.
We research pending and registered federal marks and registered state marks through the online database provider LEXIS-NEXIS or Dialog.

Because we break your name into smaller segments (truncation) and search for combinations of these segments (rotated), we find conflicting
marks as well as those strongly similar in Sound, Appearance or Meaning. This produces a comprehensive search, which is a crucial process in
finding similar names.
Similar marks are important to find. Trademark law offers protection against any name that could be confused in commerce with an existing
trademark.

Federal & State Analysis


Trademark Express Premium Package Details :
After the Federal trademark search is complete, TradeMark Express analyzes the results before proceeding to the US National Common- Law
Search.
If there are any Conflicts or Strong Similarities with your name, we put a HOLD on the rest of the research until you’ve had a chance to discuss
the report with the referred trademark attorney.
If your name is blocked by a Conflict or Strong Similarities, we will save you from unneeded additional US National Common-Law research. At
that point, our Rollover Policy takes effect.
Other search companies and intellectual property attorneys do not offer the benefit of stopping midway to analyze the research.
If the search is clear of Conflicts or Strong Similarities, we will proceed with your US National Common-Law search.
Step-by-step research is one of our major benefits.
You will save trademark lawyer fees for his/her time to analyze each search.
Our trademark research analysis is included! This is a $300 savings from what trademark attorneys typically charge.

U.S. National Common Law Details


Trademark Express Premium Package Details :
Businesses have “first use” or common law rights to their trade names in whatever geographic area they serve. The US National Common-Law
search tells you if & where the trade name is available for commercial use. The US National Common-Law research will help you to determine
whether you face any trade restrictions.
Common law research is important to do before you use your trade name OR expand its geographic area. It must be completed before applying
for a State or Federal trademark.
Because trademark law is based on the principle of first use, you may be infringing upon another business’ rights to the name, even if you own
the trademark.
LEXIS-NEXIS and Dialog information services includes the following sources, to name a few, to determine whether your name is currently in use
anywhere in the United States:
Over 16 million trade names are searched – yellow pages, company directories, DBA fictitious name filings, company directories, newspapers,
trade journals, court records, tax records, municipal records, credit records, product databases, industry sources, etc.
Dun & Bradstreet — Dun’s Market Indicators consist of over 11 million Dun & Bradstreet Enhanced DMI records, plus over 16 million US
records from D&B’s vast data warehouse. With over 98% of the records being private companies, DMI is widely recognized as the premier
source for hard to find, basic company information.
Company and product information databases–including American Business Information, US Business Directory Company Intelligence,
Database America All Business File and dozens of other company and product directories.
Prompt, MARS and other Full text News Sources–Hundreds of major newspapers, newsletters, business and industry-specific journals,
periodicals, abstracts and reviews.
Industry-Specific Sources–Specialized databases are researched for names in the following industries: entertainment, communications,
computers, publishing, medicine, pharmaceuticals, electronics, technology and sports.

Common Law Search Analysis


After your Common Law search is complete, TradeMark Express will analyze the results before proceeding to your trademark application.
We will determine if your trade name is commercially available.
Any conflicting or strongly similar commercial use would enjoy first use rights under U.S. common law.
Step-by-step research is one of our major client benefits.
If the search is clear, we will prepare AND file a USPTO Federal trademark application.
If your Common Law search is blocked, we will save you from spending your money and time applying for a trademark. At that point, our Rollover
Policy takes effect.
You will save trademark lawyer fees for his/her time to analyze each search.
If the search is seemingly blocked, then we recommend a competitive check, before reviewing it with our attorneys.

Federal Logo Search


Logo designs, although pictorial in composition can be reliably searched using a codified numeric search strategy. Such an approach allows a
search on any drawing element because each has an assigned numeric code. A logo design search sometimes takes up to 2 hours to write the
search strategy, before going online!
Fax or email TradeMark Express your logo design for a free consultation on whether or not it warrants a Federal trademark search.
We recommend searching your logo design if it is planned for product use AND/OR is a central element of your marketing efforts.
Logo design research is not recommended if the art is too descriptive, merely a type font or the use is too limited geographically.
There are limitations to logo design searches. Only Federal trademark databases may be searched. State trademarks and commercial common
law logo design databases do not exist on a comprehensive level. Only Federal Trademarks can be searched comprehensively for logo designs.
Our Federal Trademark logo design research and application preparation & submission is $600. We need 3 – 4 days for this complex search.
Please call or email us for a free consultation!

Research Analysis
Trademark Express Premium Package Details :
Research analysis is the #1 reason to hire TradeMark Express for your research needs.
The key to expert research by TradeMark Express is that we patiently review and analyze each search as soon as it is completed, thus enabling
you to complete your searches in two steps instead of one.
We are not aware of any search company that analyzes its searches for clients. Trademark attorneys will analyze their ordered searches, at their
hourly fee.
Trademark and common law searches run from 300 to 500 pages of research, from comprehensive search companies, an extraordinary amount
of data to pour over in order to decide if a name is truly available.
An infringed trade name holder has an INDEFINITE time to enforce its trademark rights against you!
TradeMark Express analysis benefits our clients in two ways. First, it allows us to break the Federal/State Trademark and Commercial Common
Law Research (first use) searches for a Step-By-Step approach, (see above). Secondly, you will not need to take your research to an attorney for
review.
Exact research conflicts are easily noticed. However, trade name similarities based on similarity of sound, appearance and meaning are usually
very difficult for the untrained person to find.
It is very common for people to either over react or under react to any given similarity found in a search. Research experts at TradeMark Express
are trained to conduct and analyze each search. This can help online when having to make split second decisions about what is possibly
relevant.
We offer a FREE review of your own research or that done by other trademark companies to determine if it had been done comprehensively.

USPTO & 50 State Application Details


TradeMark Express offers 3 alternatives :
67% off expert trademark application preparation
Your trademark application preparation is $200 off, if the Research Package is ordered. We will prepare AND file your Federal or State trademark
application for just $100. Government filing fees still apply.
$100 Federal or State trademark application preparation and submission.
These fees apply if you do NOT conduct any research through TradeMark Express OR if you pick the Pay As You Go option. Government filing
fees still apply.

Our clients typically take 3 – 5 hours to successfully write their own trademark applications, often after several attempts. We strongly recommend
letting TradeMark Express prepare your application to maximize your goods or services protection and to make sure your application will be
accepted the first time.
The State governments and Federal government charge filing fees separate from our fees. States’ fees vary from $10 to $125. The USPTO fee is
$325 per class, per application if filed online. If filing a paper application, the fee is $375 per class, per application. TradeMark Express prepares
and files applications online ONLY — this saves you $50!
Not all trade names need a National common law search. If it is a local business, TradeMark Express offers a State common law search for $35 to
$85. Please call us.

USPTO Application Renewals


You need to be aware that there are additional forms necessary to keeping your Federal trademark active.

Failure to file this form will result in the cancellation of the trademark.
TradeMark Express will prepare and file this form for $100. If interested, please contact either of our 2 offices or email us your details.

If you filed as an Intent-to-Use and are not ready to use the name

If your Federally registered trademark has been in continuous use for 5 years

If your Federally registered trademark has been in continuous use for 10 years

TradeMark Express Intro


Our philosophy is to meet the needs of our clients. This includes expert consultations,
comprehensive research and expert analysis of complex trade name searches. If a trademark
attorney is needed, we provide a free referral. TradeMark Express follows through with preparing
and filing trademark applications for the USPTO and Canada. We will also prepare applications
for all 50 States. We strive to make the process as simple as possible for all our clients. Our goal
is to carry our clients through their entire trade name clearance and trademarking process!
Started in 1992 in Los Altos, California, TradeMark Express now has a staff of 21, including 5
trademark attorneys. We have offices located in Los Altos, California and Washington, D.C..
TradeMark Express has conducted over 75,000 trademarks, including over 500,000 trade name
searches since 1992! We work on the top fee-based information providers of LEXIS-NEXIS and
Thompson & Thompson.
To research the availability of any given trade name, we often search thousands of databases to
produce a comprehensive search.
Our skill in conducting thousands of legal searches is the main reason many trademark attorneys
hire us to conduct their clients’ company, product, slogan and logo design searches.
TradeMark Express has always offered its clients more than a comprehensive trademark search.
We pride ourselves in our free consultations, free analysis of our research reports and trademark
application preparations. The main reason we do not charge as much as attorneys is because
the bulk of our work is completed by our highly trained staff – not trademark attorneys. We pass
this savings to you!

Urgent Trademark – 5 Hour Trademarking Services


Urgent Trademark offers the fastest comprehensive trademarking service anywhere – 5 hour
trademarking service. Urgent Trademark is for the times your trademark needs to be filed today,
if not yesterday. We will expedite the entire trademark process – without skipping any needed
steps or cutting any corners – exponentially faster than any other trademark company. You will
save 2 weeks compared to hiring a trademark attorney or 1 week if using a trademark search
company. Double these estimated comparisons if any conflicting or similar names are found to
exist, that need to be analyzed, competitively checked and reviewed with a trademark attorney.
Additionally, with Urgent Trademark you can search up to 3 names/marks to get 1 that is legally
clear. This is a huge benefit, when you need it. Fully the average name/mark faces a 30%
chance of being legally blocked. Any practical time delay could make or break your eventual
trademarking and ultimate business success. If your name, slogan or logo can be successfully
trademarked – Urgent Trademark will accomplish all your needed trademarking tasks within a
supersonic 5 hours. When we say 5 hours, we mean 5 hours, we know 5 hours – because we’ve
done over 75,000 trademarks – just like yours. Please call us for a free consultation – anytime!
Just $775.
You don’t have to accept the expensive risk of losing a desired trade name when filing with the
Patent & Trademark Office, simply because the research company made you wait a few days or
a week for your results. Please be aware that if multiple searches of backup trade names is
needed to achieve a final trademarkable name, you will be waiting 2, 3, or even 4 weeks to
complete your naming task, if the trademark attorney or research company takes a week to turn
on each name. Why delay the introduction of your new product or the opening of your new
business because the search company is slow? An available trade name today, may not be
available a month from now. Intellectual property is perishable.
Let TradeMark Express show you how simple your necessary research can be!

True Deep Comprehensive Legal Research


TradeMark Express conducts expert Federal Trademark, State Trademark and Common Law
Research (first use) on the leading online sources of LEXIS-NEXIS and/or Thompson &
Thompson business suite of 6500 databases. Each area of potential similarity is thoroughly
searched for trade name conflict and similarities – based on name similarity of sound,
appearance and meaning. These online databases, with billions of references to search through,
are updated daily. A typical trade name search may involve researching thousands of different
compiled informational databases to find a potential problem.
Lower priced preliminary searches are often conducted on books or quarterly updated CD-ROMs
or the USPTO web site and usually skip searching needed State Trademarks and/or Common
Law (first use) altogether. Don’t accept the liability in order to save a few dollars. The reason
preliminary legal research is significantly less expensive is because these companies are not
spending the time and money to do a deep enough, comprehensive search. We know from the
experience of conducting over 50,000 trademark searches that similarities are much more likely
to affect a clients’ legal use, than conflicts which a preliminary search will uncover. Most strong
similarities, in sound, appearance and meaning are found only when conducting a
comprehensive search. Thus, TradeMark Express only conducts comprehensive searches for its
clients because of its expertise.
We pay for the top business databases, so that our clients can DEPEND on our results to make
their trade name decisions. To go – or not to go, with any given trade name has to be based

we will Rollover 100% of your remaining initial Premium Package fee of $500. This is a great
service, because at this point we will have spent :30 to :40, including trademark attorney time

Sound, Appearance or Meaning. This involves searching synonyms, spelling variations, word
placement, etc.
US Federal & State trademark analysis : TradeMark Express will analyze the research

a Rollover of your remaining balance begins. Our comprehensive research & application
package is non refundable but any remaining funds may be applied towards another

Exact conflicts are simple to find. Less expensive preliminary searches are good at finding

much more difficult to uncover. Strong similarities are very easy to either over react or under
react to. The predominance of our client’s trade name searches are legally blocked at the strong
similarity level, not by conflicts.
Research experts at TradeMark Express are trained to conduct and analyze each search. Low
Cost analysis is the main reason you should use TradeMark Express for all of your
comprehensive research needs. The Research Analysis is not included as a feature of our
Valuate Package.

TradeMark Express Premium Package Details :
TradeMark Express offers free attorney referrals for its clients in the case of a Federal or State
Trademark or Common Law (first use) research similarity.We have trademark attorney referrals
who are located in San Francisco, Chicago & Washington DC. Our trademark attorneys will
discuss research similarities or conflicting results at no additional charge (West Coast attorney
has a 20 minute time limit). This should be enough time to discuss your findings. If you should
need more time, you may be charged their hourly rates as discussed with you at the outset of
your phone call.
Needless to say, this benefit alone is worth more than what TradeMark Express charges for its
research of your trade name. Trademark attorney fees may run from $300 to $400 an hour. If
your research results require judgment of an experienced trademark attorney, then the
TradeMark Express referred trademark attorneys will help you make the best decision. This is a
vital part of our service.

* When TradeMark Express analyzes your comprehensive research, you will save well over
$300 of trademark attorney time, per search. Do not try to do this critical task yourself. We will
determine if there are similar names in Sound, Appearance and Meaning that actually affect your
legal use of your proposed trade name under trademark law. Similar names are much more likely
to affect your legal use than obvious exact name conflicts. If a similar name is found, you will
have a consultation with one of our trademark attorneys. To fully complete your comprehensive
research, you need expert analysis or your research. If legally blocked, then your remaining fee
will be applied to your next name, after you replenish your package fee. Please see our Rollover
Policy. IF your proposed name is legally blocked, then this step conserves your comprehensive
research fee and saves money on unneeded research. No other trademark research company or
trademark attorney offers this essential service in a step-by-step fashion, like we have since
1992.

BE NEXT TO ORDER TODAY TO SAVE $100!
Call us @ 800-587-2336 or 800-5-TRADEMARK.

Urgent Trademark is for the times your trademark needs to be filed today, if not yesterday. We will expedite the entire trademark
process - without skipping any needed steps or cutting any corners - exponentially faster than any other trademark company. Any
practical time delay could make or break your eventual trademarking and ultimate business success. If your name, slogan or logo
can be successfully trademarked - Urgent Trademark will accomplish all your needed trademarking tasks within a supersonic 5
hours. When we say 5 hours, we mean 5 hours, we know 5 hours - because we've successfully handled over 75,000 trademarks
since 1992 - just like yours.

You will save 2 weeks compared to hiring a trademark attorney or 1 week if using a good trademarking company. Double or triple
these estimated comparisons, if you need to go to a 2nd or 3rd name, slogan or logo, (at no extra charge), - if legally blocked by
any conflicting or similar names found to exist, that are needed to be analyzed, competitively checked and reviewed with one of
our 5 trademark attorneys.

If you have a squeaky clean name, slogan or logo research report, we can easily complete your trademark filing in our promised
5 hours. Be aware though comprehensive research may prove your mark is legally blocked. It takes extra time to complete
competitive checks, trademark attorney analysis and if you have to go to a 2nd or 3rd name, slogan or logo, (at no extra charge),
then this additional work will add time and days to our work, even while we expedite your order at each step. Trademarks have
their complexities that cannot be rushed. We will never sacrifice the accuracy of our estimated 10 to 20 hours of work. Please call
us for a free expert consultation - anytime - 24 hours a day - 7 days a week! We'll untangle your true trademark needs. We're
ready, if you are!

PRIVACY POLICY
Privacy Policy of Urgent Trademark

To Our Individual Clients:

Your privacy is important to us, and maintaining your trust and confidence is one of our highest priorities. We respect your right to keep your personal information confidential and
understand your desire to avoid unwanted solicitations. A recent law change requires us (along with banks, brokerage houses, and other financial institutions) to disclose our
Privacy Policy to you – which we are more than happy to do. We hope that by taking a few minutes to read it, you will have a better understanding of what we do with the
information you provide us and how we keep it private and secure.

A. Types of Information We Collect

We collect certain personal information about you – but only when that information is provided by you or is obtained by us with your authorization. We use that information to
prepare your personal income tax returns and may also provide various tax and financial planning services to you at your request.

Examples of sources from which we collect information include:


interviews and phone calls with you,
letters or e-mails from you,

trademark research reports.

B. Parties to Whom We Disclose Information

As a general rule, we do not disclose personal information about our clients or former clients to anyone. However, to the extent permitted by law and any applicable state Code of
Professional Conduct, certain nonpublic information about you may be disclosed in the following situations:
To comply with a validly issued and enforceable subpoena or summons.

In the course of a review of our firm’s practices under the authorization of a state or national licensing board, or as necessary to properly respond to an inquiry or complaint

from such a licensing board of organization.

In conjunction with a prospective purchase, sale, or merger of all or part of our practice, provided that we take appropriate precautions (for example, through a written

confidentiality agreement) so the prospective purchaser or merger partner does not disclose information obtained in the course of the review.
As a part of any actual or threatened legal proceedings or alternative dispute resolution proceedings either initiated by or against us, provided we disclose only the information

necessary to file, pursue, or defend against the lawsuit and take reasonable precautions to ensure that the information disclosed does not become a matter of public record.

To provide information to affiliates of the firm and nonaffiliated third parties who perform services or functions for us in conjunction with our services to you, but only if we have

a contractual agreement with the other party which prohibits them from disclosing or using the information other than for the purposes for which it was disclosed. (Examples of

such disclosures include using affiliated attorney(s) or engaging a records-retention agency to store prior year records.)

C. Confidentiality and Security of Nonpublic Personal Information

Except as otherwise described in this notice, we restrict access to nonpublic personal information about you to employees of our firm and other parties who must use that
information to provide services to you. Their right to further disclose and use the information is limited by the policies of out firm, applicable law, our Code of Professional Conduct,
and nondisclosure agreements where appropriate. We also maintain physical, electronic, and procedural safeguards in compliance with applicable laws and regulations to guard
your personal information from unauthorized access, alteration, or premature destruction.

Thank you for allowing us to serve your accounting, tax, and financial planning needs. We value your business and are committed to protecting you privacy. We hope you view our
firm as your most trusted advisor and we will work to continue earning your trust. Please call us if you have any questions or if we can be of further service.

12 Reasons to Avoid Trademark


Attorneys!

We’d love to trademark your new names!


There really is no better company to accomplish your trademarks with, than us! That’s what 25
years in business, 75,000 trademarks and many clients who have offered testimonials imply!
Please see : Testimonials
In the case where you are thinking of using a trademark attorney, we compiled 12 reasons why
TradeMark Express is a WAY BETTER choice! We want you to be aware of all the advantages
we offer when you want to use and trademark your new names.
We have 5 trademark attorneys, whose time is FREE to you, with >150 combined years
experience.
Our entire staff offers free expert consultations. So you always can get immediate help.
Super fast 2-4 day comprehensive legal research. (Almost all attorneys outsource the needed
comprehensive research portion of the job, taking an extra 7-10 days.)
True comprehensive research. (Not just a preliminary search. Not just a USPTO search. IF you
hear from another trademark company or attorney that their research will take a short time, like
a day, then ask: Is it COMPREHENSIVE? Ask: Are your reports 300-500 pages? Ask: is your
firm paying for access into 1000’s of business databases to MAKE SURE may mark is
LEGALLY CLEAR?)
Step-by-Step comprehensive research. 3 steps. We have been the ONLY trademark company,
since 1992, when we first opened to offer Step-by-Step comprehensive research. You don’t
pay for research you don’t need.

Filed 01/03/18 Page 133 of 137
Inexpensive analysis. (We figure our time at $50/hr, not $350/hour trademark attorneys
charge.)
Inexpensive trademark application. ($100 with our Premium Package vs $500 for attorneys.)
1-3 days to complete trademark application and submit to the USPTO. (.vs 1 week for most
trademark attorneys,)
Our overall cost for our Premium Package is only $500. (.vs $1000 to $2000 for a trademark
attorney, who do like comprehensive research work. Save an average of $1000.)
Overall 2-4 day service from TradeMark Express. (.vs 2 weeks for most trademark attorneys.)
25 years of experience with over 75,000 trademarks. (.vs most trademark attorneys handling
just 20 to 50 trademarks a year.)
IF your proposed name is found to be legally unavailable, an attorney’s cost is going to spiral,
while our Step-by-Step approach and fast same day research service times keeps a lid on
costs – spending as you go – and time to accomplish your trademark.

PS: About Us!


TradeMark Express is your experienced expert legal trade name search source. We have
conducted over 500,000 searches over the past 25 years. We work on the top paid information
providers of Lexis-Nexis and Thomson & Thomson. To research the availability of any given
trade name, we search over 6500 paid databases to produce a comprehensive search, vs. less
expensive, preliminary trade name searches.
