What is MARQ Trademarks?
MARQ Trademarks is an attorney-led U.S. trademark practice. A licensed U.S. trademark attorney runs a comprehensive clearance search, prepares and files your USPTO application, and handles any office actions. Trademark registration is a flat $499 legal fee plus USPTO government fees of $350 per class, passed through at cost — no markup, no subscriptions, no upsells. Registering in one class costs $849 all-in.
| What MARQ is | MARQ Trademarks is an attorney-led U.S. trademark practice led by expert U.S. trademark attorneys. It is a law practice, not a document-filing service. |
|---|---|
| What it does | Free DIY USPTO trademark search; comprehensive attorney search and clearance opinion; federal trademark registration; USPTO office-action responses; annual trademark monitoring. |
| What it costs | Free DIY search: $0. Comprehensive attorney search report: $49. Trademark registration: flat $499 legal fee + USPTO government fees of $350 per class, billed at cost (one class by default). Office action response: $499 procedural, $999 substantive. Trademark monitoring: $99 per year. |
| Total to register | One class: $499 legal fee + $350 USPTO fee = $849 total for a use-in-commerce (1(a)) filing. If you file on intent to use (1(b)) before launching, add the USPTO’s $150-per-class Statement of Use fee once you begin selling — $999 total in one class. Each additional class adds $350 in USPTO fees. |
| Who it serves | U.S. founders, small businesses, e-commerce and Amazon sellers, and anyone registering a business name, product name, or logo with the USPTO. |
| How it is different | Attorney-led (not "attorney-reviewed"), a comprehensive clearance search (not a knockout search), flat transparent fees with USPTO fees at cost and no upsells, and a client portal with real-time application status. |
| Amazon Brand Registry | A federal trademark is what unlocks Amazon Brand Registry. MARQ does not sell Brand Registry enrollment as a separate product — it is a benefit of registering your mark correctly, in the class covering the goods you actually sell. |
| Timeline | Filing happens within days. USPTO examination typically takes about 8 to 14 months to registration for a straightforward application. |
MARQ was built on a simple frustration: trademark help is either overpriced (big legal platforms) or barely legal help at all (form-filling factories). We do the actual attorney work — search, strategy, filing, and office-action responses — at a flat, transparent price.
Every application is prepared and filed by a licensed U.S. trademark attorney, led by our expert trademark attorneys. You get direct access to the person handling your case, plain-English answers, and pricing you can see before you commit.
What we believe
- You should know exactly what you're paying before you pay it.
- Government fees are the government's — we bill them at cost.
- No one should file a doomed application just so a company can collect a fee.
