Basic Plus package · Self-file
We draft your complete Section 2(d) response in 5 to 7 business days, with step-by-step instructions to file it yourself. If the examiner holds firm, your second response is already paid for, so you never have to start over or find another budget.
Is Basic Plus right for you?
Basic Plus is for applicants who will file the response themselves but want the second round covered from the start, for less than adding it later.
What you get
Not a template with your mark typed in. Each response is drafted against your refusal, your cited registrations and the arguments the Board actually accepts.
The diagnostic behind the draft: your Confusion Index, the factors in your favor, and the gaps the response must close. Already have one? Your $25 is credited.
A complete, ready-to-sign response that takes the examiner's reasoning apart factor by factor, with precedent and record citations.
What to attach and why: third-party registrations, marketplace evidence and dictionary definitions, organized as exhibits.
Where narrowing your goods or services would help, we propose the wording. Nothing changes without your written approval.
If the examiner maintains the refusal, we draft your second response or a request for reconsideration at no extra fee. Unlimited revisions on both.
Screen-by-screen guidance for submitting the response and exhibits from your own USPTO.gov account, well before your deadline.
Refusals the Board reversed
Each of these applicants was refused, kept going, and won on appeal. With Basic Plus, a second round is already part of the plan, so one setback never ends the fight.
The clothing overlapped, but the marks did not. To basketball buyers, BRECKIN ANKLES calls up the slang “breaking ankles,” while BREKENS B reads as a name.
Marks that look alike on paper can mean different things to real buyers. Show what your mark means in your market.

How it works
Your draft is targeted for 5 to 7 business days after the deposit, leaving time to review, revise and file before the USPTO deadline.
Tell us your serial number and deadline, then pay the $200 deposit to start the work.
We run your refusal through TRACE™ and confirm the strongest line of argument with you.
You receive the full response, exhibits and filing instructions. Revise it as many times as you need.
Pay the $700 delivery fee, then submit the response yourself, following the instructions.
The price, plainly
No hourly meter, no retainer, no subscription. You pay a small deposit to start, and the rest only when your finished draft is in your hands.
In their words
Lines from client emails about their responses, TRACE™ reports and consultations, quoted as written. No one can promise an outcome; this is what working with us feels like.
Your application serial number and the Office Action. We pull the cited registrations ourselves. If you have evidence of how you sell, such as your website, packaging or customers, send that too.
Usually. Your draft arrives 5 to 7 business days after the deposit, once we have your materials. Tell us your deadline when you start, and we will flag it right away if it is too tight.
No. Trademark Scrivener is an independent trademark administrator and diagnostic service. We do not give legal advice or act as your attorney. You remain the applicant of record, approve every word and file the response yourself.
No one can. The examining attorney decides. Be wary of anyone who promises otherwise. Your TRACE™ Report shows where your case really stands before you commit.
Your second response is included. We draft it, or a request for reconsideration, at no extra fee, with the same unlimited revisions.
No. The $200 deposit is non-refundable once paid, because work starts immediately. The full refund and cancellation terms are in our Terms of Service.
Applicants domiciled in the United States. USPTO rules require foreign-domiciled applicants to use a U.S.-licensed attorney, so we cannot prepare their responses.
