Respond to a US Trademark Office Action.
Filing a US trademark application is only the first step. If your application receives an Office action, Trademark Brilliance can help you understand the issue and prepare a response. We handle Office Action Responses for trademark applications filed by us or by others.
- A US licensed attorney is assigned to your application
- We prepare a response addressing the Office action
- Your application is monitored to help ensure important deadlines are not missed
If You've Received an Office Action, Have a US Licensed Trademark Attorney Draft the Response.
Office actions are very common - even well-prepared applications can receive one.
That said, applications prepared by an attorney tend to receive fewer Office actions, since experienced attorneys know how to avoid the mistakes that often trigger them.
You only get a limited number of chances to respond, so the response needs to be accurate the first time. Many applicants get it wrong on their first attempt. Rather than risking your response - or your filing fee - let us have a US licensed attorney draft it for you.
Our Office Action Response Process
After a US trademark application is filed, it's assigned to an examining attorney, typically several months after filing. The attorney then reviews the application against all registration requirements. If it falls short in any way, an Office action may be issued.
Attorney Assignment
We recommend having a US licensed attorney assigned to your application to address the issue directly. Your attorney reviews the Office action and determines the requirements that need to be addressed.
Draft Response
Your attorney reviews the Office action and prepares a response on your behalf, addressing the specific legal or procedural issues raised by the USPTO.
Review & Submission
You review the response, approve it, and we take care of filing the response with the USPTO on your behalf.

What is an Office action?
An Office action is an official notice from the USPTO, issued when an examining attorney finds an error or legal issue with your application. It explains the reason for the rejection and outlines what's needed for your application to move forward.
