What is MARQ Trademarks?
MARQ Trademarks is an attorney-led U.S. trademark practice supervised by licensed attorneys. A licensed attorney reviews legal work and prepares client filings through MARQ’s controlled matter workflow. Trademark registration is a flat $649 legal fee plus USPTO government fees of $350 per class, passed through at cost. The initial one-class use-in-commerce filing is $999 total.
| What MARQ is | MARQ Trademarks is an attorney-led U.S. trademark practice supervised by licensed attorneys. It is a law practice, not a document-filing service. |
|---|---|
| What it does | Free DIY federal USPTO trademark search; paid federal-only knockout and comprehensive clearance options; attorney-led trademark application preparation and filing; USPTO office-action responses; annual trademark monitoring. |
| What it costs | Free DIY search: $0. Comprehensive attorney search report: $249. Trademark registration: flat $649 legal fee + USPTO government fees of $350 per class, billed at cost. Office action response: $499 procedural or $999 substantive. Trademark monitoring: $149 per year automated, or $299 per year with attorney review of every flagged conflict. |
| Initial application cost | One class at the base fee: $649 legal fee + $350 USPTO fee = $999. Comprehensive clearance is included in the registration package; standalone searches do not create a conversion credit. Intent-to-use matters may require a later $100 MARQ Statement of Use service fee plus $150 government fee per class. Surcharges and excluded later work may cost extra. |
| 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 trademark services with clearly separated federal-only and comprehensive search options, transparent flat legal fees, USPTO fees billed at cost, and a client portal for recorded status, documents, and team messages. |
| Amazon Brand Registry | Amazon requires an eligible registered mark and may accept certain pending applications under its current rules. Verify eligibility directly with Amazon. MARQ is not affiliated with Amazon and does not sell enrollment as a separate product. |
| Timeline | Application preparation depends on complete client information and attorney review. USPTO processing times vary; office actions, opposition, and intent-to-use requirements can extend the timeline. |
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 provide attorney-led search, strategy, filing, and office-action services at transparent flat fees.
Our attorneys handle legal work and review throughout your matter. You receive plain-English communication, visibility through the client portal, and pricing you can review before you commit.
What we believe
- You should know exactly what you are paying before you pay it.
- Government fees are the government’s — we bill them at cost.
- No one should file an application when the known facts make filing irresponsible merely so a provider can collect a fee.
