[H4] BEST PHONE CALL IN THE 364.25 DAYS OF 2025
Wow! Being nervous and not knowing exactly which direction to take I went online last night and found LegalZoom. I wasn’t completely sure about it (getting the LLC) and my anxiety kicked in so I backed out of it.
My number must have saved anyway in their archive because I received a call this morning.
Martha Anguiano called and the encounter with her was just what I needed to encourage me further with my LLC process. She was very polite, knowledgeable and immediately gave me a list of what I can choose from to start. After discussing with her more about my plans she suggested the best start up package for me. Martha was so genuinely enthusiastic about my idea that I felt truly comfortable sharing with her. After getting off the phone my smile and heart expressed the connection that was made even if it’s only for the professionalism she offers as an agent, I’m grateful it was her that called as I stated to her, “I’m not sure how it would have went if it were another agent that called.” (I can be nervous when speaking and studdar my words but she made me feel completely heard and understood)
I can only hope and believe the entire Team at LeagalZoom is just as pleasant, knowledgeable and concerned for the customers as she exemplified.
If you see this message Martha, thank you so much you’re definitely a Golden Star in this universe. ⭐️✨⭐️
Looking forward to working with you & LegalZoom. Thank You!

[H4] Gail Vyeda Deserves Recognition — Outstanding Support!
I had the absolute pleasure of working with Gail Vyeda through LegalZoom’s Concierge service, and I cannot say enough good things about her. Gail is knowledgeable, patient, professional, and genuinely caring. From the very beginning, she made me feel supported, heard, and confident in the process of forming my nonprofit.
She explained everything in clear terms, walked me through each step, and made sure I understood what was being filed and why. Even when I had questions outside the typical scope, she went the extra mile to help — always with kindness, clarity, and grace. She made what could’ve been a stressful experience feel seamless and empowering.
Gail is exactly the kind of person who deserves to be recognized and promoted. Her dedication and warmth represent LegalZoom at its best.
Thank you, Gail — you made a big difference in helping me bring my nonprofit vision to life!

Trademarks protect business and product names, slogans, and logos to help customers tell brands apart.What are the benefits of registering your trademark?When you register your trademark, you get strong nationwide protection, and the right to file a federal lawsuit against anyone who copies it.What's the difference between the ™ symbol and the ® symbol?Anyone can use the ™ symbol on their trademark, but it doesn't protect it. The ® symbol means your mark is registered with the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO), giving you all the legal protections that come with it.What's the difference between a utility patent and a design patent?A utility patent protects how an invention works. A design patent protects how a product looks. Some inventions may qualify for design and utility patent protection, if both the design and the function are unique, and the design doesn't affect the function.What does a provisional patent application do?A provisional patent application protects your rights to your invention for up to a year, giving you time to perfect it and/or complete your application for a utility patent. It essentially holds your place in line with the USPTO.Meet our customers

An attorney will review your application for accuracy and completeness, reducing errors that could cause delays or denials. With our Premium Trademark Registration, an experienced trademark attorney will handle the entire application process for you.I found a trademark similar to mine. Can I still register it?Not always—if the similarity could confuse consumers, your application may be denied.However, if the other mark is used for entirely different products or services, registration might still be possible. For example, Delta Dental, Delta Air Lines, and Delta Faucet Company all coexist because their products are distinct enough to avoid confusion.Do I need to register my business name and logo separately?Yes. The USPTO allows one trademark—that’s one name, one logo, or one slogan—per trademark application. You can register a logo that includes your business name, but then the design and the text together are considered one trademark. If you want them protected individually, you’ll need to file two applications as you compete the trademark registration process.How many trademark classes do I need to register in?It depends on what you sell. The USPTO organizes all products and services into 45 classes, and your trademark protection typically applies only to the classes you include in your application.For example, if you own a restaurant, you’d register in class 43 (food services). But if you also sell cookbooks and offer cooking classes, you might register in class 16 (paper goods) and class 41 (education and entertainment services) as well.How long will it take to register my trademark?Ideally, the trademark application process—including time waiting to hear back from the USPTO—takes six to 12 months if you’re using your trademark in commerce.The USPTO will review your application within a few months, and then either send an office action with questions or concerns, or approve your trademark for publication. If your trademark is published and there are no objections by the public within 30 days, you’re done with registration and you officially have a registered mark.If you’re not yet using your mark in commerce, the trademark application process can take longer. After making it through the previous steps, the USPTO will grant a Notice of Allowance, which says they’ll register your mark once you provide proof of use in commerce through a Statement of Use. Once that’s submitted and approved, your mark is officially registered.Is there a chance my trademark could get rejected?Yes. The USPTO’s examining attorney might reject your mark if there’s a chance consumers could confuse it with another trademark—for example, if your business name sounds too similar to another business name in the same industry. Involving an attorney in the trademark registration process can help avoid some of these challenges.Should I register my trademark?Yes, you should register your trademark to protect your business or brand assets. Using them and having common law protection is a great start but doesn’t give you the legal protection that you have after trademark registration is complete.Can I use a ™?You can use a ™ on your logo while you pursue the trademark application process. Doing so lets others wishing to trademark the same thing know that you intend to pursue a trademark. Once you’ve completed trademark registration and your trademarks are approved, you can replace the ™ with the registered trademark symbol, ®.How do I protect against trademark infringement?
The most reliable way to protect your brand against trademark infringement is to register your trademark early and review it often. Usually, this will include trademark monitoring services, which periodically check to make sure no other brands are infringing on your trademark.
What organization oversees trademark enforcement?Once you submit a federal trademark application and receive notice of acceptance, your trademark will be protected by the United States Patent and Trademark Office. In the event of trademark infringement, you can file a complaint with this office for help resolving the issue.How much is the new USPTO filing fee?Starting on January 18, 2025, the USPTO will be charging a filing fee of at least $350 per class of goods and services for all trademark applications. While most filers will pay the base $350/class fee, some additional fees may apply if your application requires customized or particularly long goods and services descriptions. Your attorney will guide you through the process.Why is the USPTO increasing their federal filing fee?The USPTO reviews their federal filing fees every two years to cover trademark operation costs. Following the latest review, the USPTO determined that fee adjustments are necessary to provide sufficient resources for administering the U.S. trademark system. More info can be found on the USPTO website.

What is a trademark?Trademarks identify your products and services as distinctly belonging to your brand, distinguishing you from competitors.You can register a trademark for different types of intellectual property including your business name, product name, tagline, logo, symbol, or design. A registered trademark must be used in commerce to provide real protection against anyone who wants to copy you. Registering a trademark can be a complicated process, but attorneys can walk you through the steps and file your application.What does a trademark mean?A trademark means that a business name, brand name, tagline, logo, symbol, or design is registered with the USPTO, and that its use by others is restricted. Registering a trademark is a legal process of providing protection against competitors who want to copy your branding.What's the difference between a trademark and a copyright?While copyrights and registered trademarks both help protect your intellectual property, they are used for different things.Trademark

[H3] What is a prepaid legal plan?
A prepaid attorney plan is a subscription that gives you access to attorney advice and legal services for a flat rate—often costing less than hiring a traditional lawyer. It’s a simple, affordable way to get legal help when you need it.How is a prepaid attorney plan different than a regular lawyer?Finding a traditional business or personal attorney who is trustworthy, familiar with your area and industry, and able to support your specific legal needs can be challenging. Final costs are often unpredictable, since attorney rates vary depending on the type of service and the time required.
With a prepaid attorney plan, the hard work is done for you. Every attorney is reviewed and vetted for experience, legal knowledge, and trustworthiness. Because you pay a flat rate upfront, pricing is clear and consistent.Top guides to help with your legal questions
