About Brandme

Brandme was created to level the playing field when it comes to understanding intellectual property law in general and filing trademarks, specifically. We aim to democratize the process, allowing anyone in the world the ability to submit a trademark application and register their mark. Our site is designed to simplify and automate the process, to make complex rules and doctrines easier to comprehend. Brandme offers high-quality services and access to top attorneys at an affordable price.

Brandme lets you register your trademark by electronically submitting an application to the federal government. Brandme is the trade name of the law firm Washington IP & Entertainment Law, PLLC, based in New York City (the “Firm”). Each application submitted through brandme is examined by a licensed trademark attorney with the Firm, who then transmits it to the United States Patent & Trademark Office (the USPTO or “Trademark Office”) within 24 hours of receipt in most instances.

The Trademark Office will assign your application to an examining attorney. Examining attorneys are gatekeepers, and their job is to not let your mark get past the proverbial gate unless they are certain that it does not violate any trademark rules. The examining attorney may refuse to register your mark for any number of reasons.

When an examining attorney initially refuses a mark, the refusal will be set forth in what is referred to as an Office Action. You will have 3 months to respond to the Office Action, or your mark will be abandoned. Even if you respond to the Office Action in a timely manner, more often than not, the examining attorney will find a reason to maintain the refusal. That is why you need brandme.

Brandme employs machine learning, our proprietary database, and years of legal experience to help you overcome any refusal. As much as possible, we can automate your response to refusals, using compelling legal arguments that include precedential and persuasive case law specific to trademark controversies.

People spend thousands of dollars hiring attorneys to prosecute and defend their marks. But for a fraction of the cost, you can get the same service by using brandme and our trusted legal team.

Brandme also helps you on the front end of the application process. Each trademark application has fields that require data input. Some of the data required is straightforward personally identifiable information, such as your name and address. However, other information may not be so obvious for a person who isn’t used to trademark parlance, and it can cause frustration; or worse, you may input incorrect data that could cause your application to be rejected. For the less obvious information that’s needed, using our proprietary machine learning software and simplified application, you can rest assured that your responses will be complete and appropriate for a potentially successful application.

Brandme saves you time and money and gives you peace of mind. You can feel confident that you are getting the best advice concerning your trademark application.
