The exact name, phrase, slogan, or description of the logo. If you are deciding between two choices, please select the two-mark session below.

If you cannot upload here, you may email the image to connect@clothandcode.legal with "Clearance Opinion Intake" in the subject line.

"Use" has a specific legal meaning, so "not sure what counts" is a perfectly good answer. This shapes both the analysis and the specimen guidance in your opinion.

A state filing reserves the name of an entity, but it does not guarantee the availability of a brand name.

A launch, a collection drop, an announcement, a planned application date. If there's a deadline anywhere in this, please state it here. "No date yet" is an acceptable answer as well.

Standard delivery occurs on the Monday following a Wednesday engagement. Rush delivery bypasses the regular weekly schedule.

Tell me what you found or what you're worried about. Google results, an Instagram account, something in the USPTO database, or a competitor operating under a similar name. I still do my own search for every opinion, but this will help.

For example, "organic face serums and moisturizers" or "online retail store featuring conscious and vintage clothing." A sentence or two is fine.

If I am able to conduct your search, I will send you the engagement agreement for your review and signature. Afterward, I will send the invoice for the session you chose. The search will begin once you have completed both the agreement and the invoice. For example, if we finalize everything by 5 p.m. Eastern on Wednesday, you can expect my opinion by the following Monday. If you engage on Thursday or later, I will deliver the opinion the Monday after next. For rush engagements, the turnaround is three business days. If Monday is a federal holiday, the deadline will move to Tuesday.

If the name clears and you engage for registration within two weeks of receiving your opinion, the initial fee will apply toward the first portion of the registration package. The remaining work will cost $1,200. 

Please note that submitting this form does not establish an attorney-client relationship. That relationship is formed once we both sign the engagement letter.
