If you miss a deadline set by the Firm or the USPTO, the Firm is not responsible for any resulting loss of rights or additional fees.

It is not a retainer and is not deposited into a client trust account. The fee covers only the limited Services described above and does not include government filing fees, which you must pay separately.

You will be notified of the applicable filing fees for your application before it is submitted. Fees are set by the USPTO and may change without notice. Filing fees are non‑refundable once a filing has been submitted.

  3. Refunds. Service fees are refundable under the following circumstances:

    • Full refund if the Firm declines representation. If the Firm identifies a conflict of interest or determines that your trademark contains content that violates acceptable use policies, the Firm may terminate this Agreement and refund the service fee.

  5. Delinquent Payments. Failure to pay required fees may result in termination of representation.

4. Attorney‑Client Relationship and Conflicts

  2. Scope of Representation. The attorney‑client relationship covers only the Services described in this Agreement. Communications unrelated to the Services do not create an attorney‑client relationship and may not be confidential.

  3. Conflicts of Interest. You acknowledge that the Firm may represent other clients with similar or competing intellectual‑property interests. Business competition alone does not create a conflict that prohibits the Firm from representing other clients. You agree to waive any conflicts that such representation might present, provided that the Firm will not represent another client in a substantially related matter without your informed consent and will not disclose your confidential information.

  4. Communication: All reminders and updates for clients’ trademarks will be sent exclusively by email. We will not contact you regarding your trademarks status or reminders by mail.

  4. Spam Warning: Client understands that public information submitted to the USPTO may lead to spam, scams, and solicitations via mail, phone, text, or email, often asking for personal or payment details. Client should discard any such solicitations not from our law firm or the USPTO. If unsure, Client should contact the Attorney. The Attorney is not liable if Client engages with or pays these companies.
