Brand enforcement
Respond When Your Brand Is Challenged
Get a clear next step when another party copies, confuses, or challenges the rights behind your brand.
What Trademark Enforcement Covers
Enforcement helps you respond when another party uses a confusingly similar mark or seeks to register a conflicting trademark. Acting early can protect customer goodwill and reduce the chance that similar marks weaken your brand.
This service is for trademark owners who have spotted unauthorized use or a conflicting USPTO filing and want a clear, flat-fee next step.
Key Benefits
Put conflicting USPTO applications on the examiner’s radar with a Letter of Protest
Protect brand value by addressing unauthorized use before it spreads
Choose a focused filing instead of open-ended hourly enforcement work
Work with a dedicated Account Manager who explains options in plain language
Pair USPTO protest filings with cease-and-desist options when needed
Featured Option: USPTO Letter of Protest
Letter of Protest — $399 + USPTO filing fee. A Letter of Protest is a tool for bringing evidence of a conflicting mark to the USPTO before a third-party application registers.
Preparation and assembly of your Letter of Protest
Filing with the USPTO
Notification related to the progress of the protest filing
An additional USPTO filing fee applies (commonly $150; confirm current fee at filing).
Related Option: Cease and Desist Letters
When unauthorized use is already happening in the marketplace, a cease and desist letter may be a better first step. Our cease and desist packages start at $499 (Standard) and $799 (Platinum). Visit the cease and desist service page for full details.

Important Note
Enforcement results are not guaranteed. A Letter of Protest does not automatically block registration, and a demand letter does not guarantee that infringement will stop. The Trademark Company is not a law firm, and this service does not create an attorney-client relationship.
