Executive is a "DIY" model where we draft the argument, but you submit it. SuccessPay and Pro are full-service; we handle the filing, deadlines, and case management.

You pay a lower fee to start. You only pay the final $799 "success fee" if and when the USPTO approves your mark for publication. If we don't win, you don't pay the final fee.

No. Our packages cover professional analysis and legal drafting. Mandatory government filing fees charged by the USPTO remain your responsibility.

MIND MARKER is a specialized administrative support firm. We are not a law firm and do not provide legal advice. We use data and precedent to craft scrupulous administrative responses.

This is a USPTO refusal claiming your mark is too similar to an existing registered mark. It is the most complex refusal type, requiring a multi-factor legal argument (du Pont factors) to overcome.

LOCA™ (Likelihood of Confusion Analysis) is our proprietary system that scores your refusal against 150+ data points and 3,000+ analyzed cases to determine the statistically strongest argument path.

Drafting typically takes 15-30 business days depending on the package (Pro is expedited). Once filed, the USPTO examination timeline varies, often taking 1-6 months for a decision.

No ethical service can guarantee a USPTO outcome. However, our SuccessPay model guarantees our incentives are aligned—we don't earn our full fee unless you win.

If your mark is already abandoned, we can file a Petition to Revive in some cases, but this is a separate process. Our packages are for active Office Actions.

Generic templates fail because §2(d) refusals are fact-specific. Examiners look for case law relevant to your specific industry and mark structure. Templates do not provide this.

Generally, no. The SuccessPay model requires us to manage the case from the start to ensure the strategy is executed perfectly. Executive is for clients who want to manage their own filing.

Our packages cover the entire Office Action response, including §2(d) and other minor procedural refusals (like disclaimers) contained in the same letter.

If you require legal advice, you should consult an attorney. We provide expert administrative drafting and strategy based on USPTO procedure, not legal counsel.

We will ask for evidence of how you use your mark, such as sales figures, marketing channels, and customer overlap info. We handle the formatting and submission.

If the examiner maintains the refusal after our first response, we can file a Request for Reconsideration. This is included in the Pro package and available in others.

In SuccessPay and Pro, we handle the electronic filing for you. In Executive, we send you the drafted PDF/Word doc, and you upload it to the USPTO.

We accept all major credit cards and secure online payments through our shop processor.

Yes. We use industry-standard encryption for payment and data transfer. Your intellectual property strategy remains confidential.

The USPTO typically gives a 3-month deadline from the date of the Office Action. Missing this date results in abandonment. We need at least 15 days before your deadline to begin.

Yes, though our specialty is §2(d). If your Office Action is purely procedural (no confusion refusal), please contact us for a custom quote as it may be cheaper.
