Services
Flat fees, quoted before anything is filed.
Five stages, ordered by how far your brand has grown. Every stage is a fixed fee agreed in writing at the start. USPTO filing fees are paid directly to the government and are separate in every stage.
Stage 01 · Naming in progress
Seed
For a name that is still being decided. A knockout search across federal, state, and common-law sources, and a written clearance opinion telling you whether it is worth building on.
Knockout search · Written clearance opinion · No filing
$650
Stage 02 · First mark, one class
Sprout
For a name you have committed to. A comprehensive search, a full opinion letter, and a one-class federal application drafted to survive examination, with the owner name, description of goods, class, and filing basis all chosen deliberately.
Comprehensive search · Opinion letter · One-class federal application
$1,800
+ applicable USPTO filing fees
Stage 03 · Launching or scaling
Grove
Most chosen
Registration handled from search to certificate. Everything in Sprout, plus specimen review and every procedural Office Action response: the disclaimers, amendments, and clarifications the examiner asks for, included in the fee rather than billed as they arrive.
Comprehensive search · Opinion letter · One-class application · Specimen review · All procedural Office Action responses
Additional classes quoted per class. Substantive refusals, like likelihood of confusion or descriptiveness, are quoted separately before any work begins, or covered in full by Harvest.
$2,600
+ applicable USPTO filing fees
Stage 04 · Difficult names
Harvest
For difficult names that need extra security. Everything in Grove, plus every substantive Office Action response, including likelihood of confusion and descriptiveness refusals, handled inside one flat fee instead of billed as they arrive.
Comprehensive search · Opinion letter · One-class application · Specimen review · All procedural and substantive Office Action responses
Additional classes quoted per class. Appeals to the Trademark Trial and Appeal Board are quoted separately.

Stage 05 · Established portfolio
Orchard
Ongoing counsel for a brand with more than one mark. Watch service over new filings, domains, and handles; renewal and maintenance deadlines tracked; enforcement letters sent when someone gets close. Most months you hear nothing, which is the point.
