Yes, if you are a foreign-domiciled applicant, the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) requires you to be represented by a U.S.-licensed attorney for trademark filings. This ensures that all legal requirements are met and that your application complies with U.S. trademark laws.
A U.S. licensed attorney ensures your trademark application meets all USPTO requirements, reducing the risk of rejection.
Attorneys manage all correspondence with the USPTO, including responding to Office Actions and legal objections.
A qualified attorney minimizes the chance of errors, which can prolong processing time or result in application denial.
