Federal Trademark Application

Anthony Whittington, Jd/Mba

"Anthony delivered exactly what he promised, a thorough, well-structured trademark clearance memo that addressed every concern I came in with, including the § 2(e)(1) descriptiveness risk I had already identified. He didn't just run a search and hand me results. He analyzed the business model, explained why the marketplace nature of my platform supports a suggestive mark argument, identified the one meaningful third-party consideration and gave me a clear, actionable filing strategy built around that analysis. The memo was professionally written, easy to follow as a non-attorney, and delivered same-day. His former USPTO Examiner background shows, he thinks about these issues from the inside out, not just the outside in. Clear communication throughout, fast response time, and a level of engagement with the specifics of my business that I didn't expect at this price point. Highly recommend for any founder or small business owner navigating trademark for the first time."

He went through the app itself, not just the documents, and caught places where the policies didn't match what the app actually did. Responsive, gave exact wording instead of vague notes, and finished under budget. Highly recommend."

Trademark Registration COLZ

Ross Brandborg

"Ross was extremely helpful in guiding me through the trademark process for my new SaaS product. He ran thorough searches on multiple name candidates and gave me honest, clear opinions — including telling me directly when a name I liked was too risky to pursue, which saved me from a costly mistake down the road. He explained the USPTO process patiently for someone new to trademarks, answered every question quickly, and was upfront about costs at each step (including telling me when I didn't need to file in extra classes, saving me money). The application was filed promptly once we landed on the right name. Highly recommend for anyone navigating a trademark search and filing for the first time."

Cybersecurity Business Contracts

Steven Stark

"This was my first time using the UpCounsel platform, and I hired Steven to draft foundational documents—including an MSA and SOW—for my new cybersecurity startup. Upon our initial contact, Steven proactively recommended expanding the scope to include necessary additions like Fee Schedules and Rules of Engagement (ROE), impressively doing so without increasing the initial budget. As a first-time user, I wasn't sure what to expect regarding the quality of the deliverables, but Steven exceeded my expectations. He addressed every legal concern I had, provided a remarkably quick turnaround, and remained highly responsive throughout the process. Thanks to Steven, my first experience on UpCounsel was exceptional. I highly recommend him and will absolutely utilize his services for any future legal needs."
