Give Your Trademark a Fighting Chance
Trademark Office Actions can present a significant barrier to Trademark Registration. However, they aren’t always insurmountable. Based in downtown St. Pete, FL Patel Law’s Tampa Bay Trademark Attorneys have helped numerous clients from across Florida overcome challenging Office Actions, and we’re ready to help you with yours today.
Our Attorney reviews each request to ensure we do not have a conflict of interest with any other client before accepting any new client. Prices are our good faith estimates based on projects we have completed in the past. We reserve the right to decline any project for any reason. No Attorney-Client relationship is formed until we have a written agreement with any client indicating as such.
Submit an Order Request
Once we receive your order, our office will contact you to perform a conflict check, get more details, and schedule a time for you to speak with our Attorney. This is a no-obligation order.
Discuss Scope of Project
Our Attorney will go over the scope of the project and answer any initial questions you may have.
Engagement Agreement
We will send you an engagement agreement with the scope, pricing, and any other details you may have discussed with our Attorney.
Does an Office Action Mean that My Trademark Application has Been Rejected?
No — But Your Application Might Be Abandoned if You Fail To Respond in Time.
Receiving an Office Action can be intimidating, and even a little discouraging, but it isn’t the end of your Trademark application. However, your application will likely be abandoned if you don’t respond by the USPTO’s deadline — usually six months from the date that the Office Action was issued. Don’t risk letting your application lapse — hire FL Patel Law’s Tampa Bay Trademark Attorneys to manage your Trademark registration today.
Why Should I Hire FL Patel Law’s Tampa Bay Trademark Attorneys to Handle My Office Action?
There are two types of Office Actions — Substantive and Non-Substantive — and FL Patel Law’s Tampa Bay Trademark Attorneys can help you deal with both of them.
Neither means that your Florida business’s Trademark is dead in the water, so long as the USPTO receives a timely and proper response. However, filing a proper response often requires the kind of legal research and know-how that only an experienced Florida Trademark attorney can provide.
When our Clients receive Office Actions from the USPTO, they know that they can trust us to find any and all possible avenues through their latest Trademark hurdle.
If you’ve received an Office Action and aren’t sure what to do next, don’t lose hope. Contact the Tampa Bay Trademark Attorneys at FL Patel Law instead so that your brand can get the protection that it deserves.
What’s the Difference Between a Substantive and a Non-Substantive Office Action?
- Most Non-Substantive Office Actions issued by the USPTO concern disclaimers, missing information, simple mistakes, or clerical errors. You don’t necessarily need an attorney’s help responding to them, but FL Patel Law’s Tampa Bay Trademark Attorneys handles any Non-Substantive Office Actions issued against our Clients during the application process as a part of their flat fee.
- If the USPTO issues a Substantive Office Action against your Trademark, then you’ll definitely want an attorney’s help with backing up your case. FL Patel Law’s Tampa Bay Trademark Attorneys can handle your Substantive Office Actions for a flat fee. Most Substantive Office Actions boil down into two categories: the likelihood of confusion and mere descriptiveness.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are you a law firm?
Unlike many businesses and websites selling legal services, FL Patel Law PLLC is a bona fide law firm. This means that you’ll have a lawyer with actual legal expertise supporting you during your federal trademark registration — you won’t have to settle for anything less like you would with other non-attorney trademark registration services.
Will I work with an attorney?
Yes — from start to finish, our lawyers will support you every step of the way. We make ourselves available to our clients whenever possible so that you can benefit from our knowledge and experience. Our attorneys have successfully registered many trademarks for businesses across multiple industries — check them out on our trademark page here.
How does the federal trademark registration process work?
The trademark process, at both the state and federal levels, is more complicated than most people realize. Many of our clients want some insight into that process, which is why we have an article explaining it for you here.
How do you offer such affordable prices? What’s the catch?
The catch is that there are too many law firms — and non-attorney businesses offering trademark registration services, for that matter — that nickel and dime their clients every chance they get. Flat-fee services allow us to offer affordable prices that our competitors are either unable or just unwilling, to match.
How long will it take for me to receive my federal trademark?
Both state and federal trademarks typically take about nine months to register. Thousands of applications are processed every day, however, and your specific timeline may vary based on the workloads faced by state and federal agencies.
