Estimated Timeline
Timelines vary based on Registry workload, objections, and oppositions, and are not within our control. A trademark application can take anywhere from several months to over a year to move from filing to registration.
Government Fees
Government fees vary by applicant type (individual/startup/small enterprise vs company) and number of classes, and are set by the Trademark Registry.
Professional Fees
Professional fees depend on the scope of work — search, filing, objection response, or opposition handling. Talk to an advisor for a scope-based quote.
