Get answers. Overcome refusals. Protect your trademark.
The definitive diagnostic engine for pro se trademark applicants. Dissect Du Pont refusal factors, generate TEAS-ready counter-briefs, and defend your mark with mathematical precision.
Diagnostics first, then risk we carry with you.
An Office Action is not a final court ruling. It is the subjective opinion of a single examining attorney, and subjective opinions can be dismantled with the right administrative database metrics.
TRACE™ Report
A comprehensive “home inspection” for your trademark application. We weigh your refusal against more than 600 real-world trademark disputes across 9 diagnostic lenses and 180 specific benchmarks to locate the exact points where the examiner's arguments are structurally weak.
Success-based Fee
Traditional IP firms charge an expensive, non-refundable retainer whether you win or lose. Our assisted packages put the bulk of the service fee behind an official USPTO approval milestone. If the refusal is maintained, the success fee is waived in its entirety.
Guaranteed Success
On Premium Plus, our Strategic Refiling Guarantee activates if the USPTO issues a final refusal that cannot be overcome: a brand-new application strategy with customized identification engineering, tracked through publication to your registration certificate.
You get one good shot at the Office Action.
If your response doesn't take the examiner's reasoning apart piece by piece, with evidence and real precedent, the mark can be refused. A lot of good marks are lost right here — not on the law, but because the applicant argued how they feel about their brand instead of meeting the office on its own terms.
The TRACE™ Report is the blueprint that keeps that from happening. Before you write a word of your response, it settles four things.
Keep your mark. Keep control. Skip the retainer.
You stay the applicant of record and approve every word before it reaches the USPTO. What you get from us is the research, the argument, and the paperwork done to the standard the office expects — without a five-figure retainer or an hourly meter.
A low deposit to start. The rest only if you win.
Traditional IP firms charge an expensive, non-refundable retainer and bill by the hour whether your mark is approved or rejected. We flip that model on its head.
"By putting the majority of our service fee behind an official USPTO approval milestone, we put our skin in the game right alongside yours."
USPTO government filing fees are separate and paid directly to the government at submission.
Low upfront deposit
At bookingA small deposit initiates the TRACE™ diagnostics and the custom drafting work behind your response.
Delivery milestone
On draft deliveryA flat fee when the finished draft reaches you. You review the completed arguments in full and authorize them before anything is filed.
Contingent success fee
Only on USPTO approvalThe bulk of the fee. Nothing further is owed unless the examiner withdraws the refusal and your mark moves forward.
If it cannot be won, we start again at no service fee.
We stand behind the administrative strategy and research built into every response draft. If you select our Premium Plus package and the USPTO ultimately issues a final refusal that cannot be overcome, our Strategic Refiling Guarantee immediately activates.
Diagnostic & primary response
We conduct deep TRACE™ diagnostics and construct a comprehensive primary response to dismantle the examiner's Section 2(d) refusal.
Administrative reconsideration
If a subsequent Office Action is issued, we engineer a secondary reconsideration response utilizing fresh database evidence.
Final refusal, refiling activates
If the USPTO issues a final rejection, we launch a brand-new application strategy with customized identification engineering.
Tracked through to registration
We monitor, track, and administratively support your new application through publication all the way to final registration certificate delivery.
Six packages, three tracks.
Self-file tracks end at your finished draft. Assisted tracks add filing assistance and tracking to publication. Performance tracks run all the way to registration.
All package fees are flat and exclusive of USPTO government filing fees, which must be paid separately and directly to the government. The "if approved / registered" total is deposit + on delivery + success fee. Standard tier only: if a second response is required, the Client may purchase it for a flat $500, in which case the $1,000 success fee is waived in its entirety.

"Prepare the Response in two hours, client paid to receive a response from us. Your job is not to win."
The instruction we were given by a law firm we worked for.
About Trademark Scrivener
Two hours. Not to win — just to put something on the record so the file showed the firm had answered. The applicant on the other end had no idea their one shot was being spent that way.
We kept reading those files. Most of them had real arguments in them: disclaimed wording, different buyers, different shelves, marks that no one would actually mix up. Nobody was paid to go looking.
So we built the thing we wished those files had gotten. Every refusal runs through the same 180 checks against 600 past decisions, and you see the same numbers we do — including the ones that say your case is hard. Then you decide what to do with them. Your mark, your call, our work behind it.
