Why has my expedited filing not been submitted yet?
Trademark Engine may still need to complete conflict checks, account setup, document preparation, attorney review, and collect any required information or approvals from the applicant before the application can be submitted.
In some cases, filing may be delayed if:
Additional information is needed from the applicant.
The assigned legal team is conducting its review of the application.
Final approval or an electronic signature has not yet been received.
Additional fees or filing details must be addressed before submission
Trademark Engine service charges and USPTO government filing fees are separate. Service fees cover the products and assistance purchased from Trademark Engine and, where applicable, affiliated legal services. USPTO filing fees are government charges associated with filing and processing a federal trademark application and are generally assessed per class.
The total cost can therefore vary based on the package selected, the number of trademark classes, the type of identification used, optional services, and later filings that may become necessary. Government fees already paid to the USPTO are generally non-refundable even if an application is later refused, abandoned, or withdrawn.
