Let's Protect Your Brand Together

Our service fee covers expert preparation and review of your filing, submission to the relevant agency (USPTO, Secretary of State, Copyright Office), status monitoring, and follow-up communication throughout the process. Government filing fees are listed separately and passed through at cost — we never mark them up.

The best state depends on your situation. For most small business owners, forming in your home state is simplest and most affordable. Delaware, Wyoming, and Nevada are popular for privacy and asset protection — but they require a registered agent and may involve extra annual fees. Our specialists can advise the best fit for your goals.

• Home state: simplest for local business
• Wyoming: lowest fees + strong privacy laws
• Delaware: preferred for investors / fundraising

Processing times vary by state. Most states process LLC filings within 1–7 business days. Fast states like Wyoming, Delaware, and Florida can approve within 24–48 hours. States like New York or Massachusetts can take 2–4 weeks. We expedite where possible and keep you informed throughout.

Trademarks are registered per class. You need a separate class for each type of good or service you want to protect. For example, a clothing brand should register in Class 25 (clothing). If you also sell online courses, you'd also need Class 41. Most businesses need 1–3 classes. Our team will recommend the exact classes based on your business.

Both are official USPTO filing paths. The key differences:

• TEAS Plus: Lower USPTO government fee ($250/class), requires using the USPTO's pre-approved identification of goods/services — faster approval, stricter format.
• TEAS Standard: Higher government fee ($350/class), allows custom descriptions — better for unique or niche businesses.

We recommend TEAS Plus for most clients — it's more affordable and equally effective.

The USPTO typically takes 8–14 months to fully approve a trademark. However, your rights begin from the date of filing. We file quickly (usually within 48 hours of receiving your application) and monitor your case throughout. If the USPTO sends an office action, we handle the response for you.

You're right that copyright exists automatically when you create original work. However, registration is essential because it allows you to sue for statutory damages (up to $150,000 per infringement), gives you a public record of ownership, is required before filing a lawsuit in the U.S., and enables you to send DMCA takedowns with authority. Unregistered copyrights provide very limited legal recourse.

Almost any original creative work qualifies for copyright protection:

• Books, articles, blog posts, courses, scripts
• Music, lyrics, sound recordings, podcasts
• Artwork, illustrations, photographs, logos
• Software code, websites, apps, databases
• Videos, films, YouTube content, courses
