Are you filing a trademark application with the USPTO, and about to submit your "specimen" (proof of use) for your trademark? In this video you'll learn how to avoid the 4 most common mistakes people make with their trademark specimens, and what you can do if you already received an objection to your specimen.



Want to work with me on your USPTO Trademark application?

I have a few spots in my schedule for new clients for Trademark Packages ($850 plus USPTO filing fees), where I will represent you & file your trademark with the United States Patent & Trademark Office.

This includes doing a trademark search, consulting about strategy, filing the application, and facilitating it through the trademark office process.

If you're interested, email me at [email protected] and we can get started discussing if this is a good fit for you and next steps.
