For those who want to register a trademark I recommend this video, it is very useful.
I am certainly very grateful ❤

[alfiiasirovskaya]

Thank you so much! Everything is very clear. I was able to do everything myself. You saved me $499 dollars. Thanks again☺

[olavodias]

The best video ever. I've registered another trademark before using a lawyer and it costed me almost 4 times the cost of filing it with USPTO.

[ryandaugherty]

Wow was just able to do this for myself. Over the years I've paid thousands to Attorneys. You are the Bomb!!!

If you already trademark your business name but want to add a quote or saying what are the steps to do this?

Hello I have a question about classes to register for my product. I sell Teething bibs. So my bibs consists of a bib with an attached teether. Do I need to apply for Cloth Bib and Teether or just Cloth bib is enough? Also if I wanted to sell more products can I come back and pay for more classes?

Dear @Skunk, thank you for your lovely content,
Please i want to ask one thing, i have Non-us Resident llc in wyoming state and my all addresses (mailling & principal) are outside USA. So now during trademark filling can i use these outside addresses? or i need to buy any virtual address for tradenark? Thank You

[markjohnson]

Awesome video. Got a question. If I enter a specific class (shirts) would I be able to make my logo on other merch that wasn't specified? Don't want to pay $250 for every category if I don't need to.

[megamouth]

Great video. I have a question if that’s ok. Do I have to have an attorney if I’m not based in the USA ? I don’t have a USA address. Is this the only reason to have an attorney? How much would an attorney cost if I have to have it ? Thanks again.

[donnieriser]

Thanks for the upload brother, this helped me every step of the way and you did it in 15mins. 👏🏽

[kristen]

I am going to lose my s*** It keeps asking me for a two step identification id I put it in and no mater what it says I have an account already. I fixed that but I can’t get back in to application. Iv spent all day and still no luck getting in.

[DeeBanga]

Can you make payments on your trademark, or do you have to pay the whole thing

[packinclothin]

can you recommend any places for attorneys

[uacc]

Let's say you want to register a TM for cups, bowls and plates. Do you need to show a speciman (i.e. picture) of a cup, bowl and a plate?

[UMAIRRAJA]

Can i register if my company is registered in UK?

[waseemahmed]

I am living outside USA but needs a US trademark to sell on amazon usa? Can I do it with an address outside USA?

[hypelive]

do they refund you if they decline you ?

[lvl-savage-lvl]

Shoot this was very simple… i appreciate it I only have a few questions


1. For the slashes would it be for example. /Suger\ or both slashes forward like this /Suger/

2.For logos that’s a whole different application correct?

3. I was quoted 2k by a lawyer for this application ☠️

[kristen]

Ya I guess I had another email they sent me a way to fix thank you hope that works.

Hello, first, thank you very much for the video, it was very helpful, I have a question regarding the classes of products or services, for example, I am starting a brand of golf accessories such as club covers, ball markers, in Class 028, which is golf, there are several classes that can apply to what I am doing, my question is, do I have to select 028 golf? that encompasses everything? Or I can select from the same class 028 other categories such as club covers, ball markers, I don't know if it was clear or confusing, thanks in advance for your response
