What $25 gets you

Two things, both yours to keep.

A candid, data-driven read of your refusal, as a conversation and in writing. It is analysis, not legal advice.

01 · Live

A 30-minute consultation

We walk through your application against the cited mark, in plain English.

  • 0:00Where the refusal is strongest, and weakest
  • 0:08The factor that decides your case
  • 0:16What the record needs to show
  • 0:24Your path: do it yourself, or have it done
02 · In writing

An analytical memorandum

A short written diagnosis to reread, share, or bring to anyone you work with.

  • IndexWhere your refusal sits on the Confusion Index
  • FactorsWhich factors carry it, and which are open
  • NextWhat any response would have to establish

Hire us later, and the consultation costs nothing.

The $25 comes off the flat fee of any response package, just like your TRACE report fee.

How the fee is paid

A deposit to start and a delivery fee when your draft arrives. On Assisted and Performance packages, the largest part is owed only if the USPTO approves.

Your $25 credit

Your consultation and TRACE report fees come off any package. Deposit buttons show the standard deposit; we confirm your adjusted fee in writing before you pay.

Fine print

Success fees. Owed only at publication approval, or registration for Premium Plus. If the refusal is maintained, the success fee is not owed. Initial and delivery fees remain subject to package terms.

Second response. Standard offers an additional response for $500, with its $1,000 success fee waived if that option is used. Basic Plus, Standard Plus, Premium and Premium Plus include two responses.

Premium Plus. The Strategic Refiling Guarantee provides a new application strategy at no additional service fee if a final refusal cannot be overcome. It does not guarantee registration. USPTO fees are separate. Full terms: Terms & Conditions.

Questions

A few practical answers.

What exactly do I get for $25?

A 30-minute Google Meet consultation and a written analytical memorandum on your likelihood-of-confusion refusal: where it is strong and weak, which factor decides it, what the record would need to show, and which next step fits.

When do I choose my time?

Right after your payment goes through. PayPal brings you back to this page and the booking calendar opens. If it doesn’t, email us your PayPal receipt and we’ll send your booking link.

Is the $25 really credited toward a package?

Yes. If you go on to any of the six response packages, the $25 comes off that package’s flat fee, just like your TRACE report fee. We confirm your adjusted fee in writing before you pay a deposit.

Why do you need my mark and serial number?

So we can pull up your application and the cited mark before we speak. That way all 30 minutes go to your case.

Is the memorandum legal advice?

No. It is an expert, data-analytical diagnosis, not legal advice, and it does not create an attorney-client relationship. Trademark Scrivener is an independent trademark administrator, not a law firm.

Do I have to buy anything after the consultation?

No. Some people leave knowing they can handle it with the workbook; some decide not to respond. The consultation stands on its own.

What if my case looks difficult?

Then we tell you, clearly and early. No package promises that a refusal can be overcome.

Your deadline doesn’t move

Know where your refusal stands. For $25.

Thirty minutes, a written memorandum and a clear next step. If you hire us, it costs you nothing.
