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.

Why Does the USPTO Require a U.S. Attorney?

1. Legal Compliance

A U.S. licensed attorney ensures your trademark application meets all USPTO requirements, reducing the risk of rejection.

2. Handling USPTO Communications

Attorneys manage all correspondence with the USPTO, including responding to Office Actions and legal objections.

3. Avoiding Errors & Delays

A qualified attorney minimizes the chance of errors, which can prolong processing time or result in application denial.

How to File a U.S. Trademark with Legal Representation?

• Provide all necessary business details, logo, or brand name for the trademark filing.
• Submit the application through the USPTO\’s Trademark Electronic Application System (TEAS).
