Is Trademarkia a Scam? Debunking Hearsay.

In the competitive world of intellectual property services, comparisons are often drawn between Trademarkia and similar services like LegalZoom and Trademark Engine.

Such comparisons, unfortunately, sometimes lead to misconceptions about the nature and legitimacy of our services.
(And questions like “is Trademarkia legit?” Or concerns such as “is Trademarkia a scam?”)

This article is dedicated to dispelling these misunderstandings and providing a clear picture of how Trademarkia operates for the peace of mind of our clients and prospective clients.

Understanding how Trademarkia operates

Trademarkia is not a scam: 

A commitment to legal integrity and professionalism is at the core of Trademarkia's operation.

As the client-facing website of Legalforce RAPC, a law firm, we stand apart in the industry.

Unlike some competitors, your trademark filing will be personally handled by a licensed trademark attorney.

This professional touch is the Trademarkia difference.

Misleading Trademarkia reviews from competitors

A common concern arises from competitor reviews posted on their websites or YouTube channels. 

Often, these come from small firms or individual attorneys attempting to discredit Trademarkia. 

They typically claim that our business practices are shady or assert that we provide services without involving licensed attorneys. 

Both of these claims are baseless. 

As we've stated before, every trademark filing and intellectual property service we offer is handled by a licensed trademark attorney. 

Considering our global operations, isn't it wise to choose an experienced firm like ours for your intellectual property protection?

Trademarkia's comprehensive $99 subscription package

One of the queries we frequently encounter revolves around our trademark application packages, specifically the $99 subscription package.

Let's clarify what this entails:

For an initial fee of $99 (for the filing service) plus a minimum of three quarters of our trademark watch service at $99 per quarter (with the first quarter free), our attorneys will consult with you to ensure the proper registration of your trademark.

This trademark watch service is a proactive measure to:

  • Identify potential trademark infringement
  • Act swiftly in safeguarding your reputation
  • Deter competitors from exploiting your trademark

If the subscription is canceled after the second watch payment, the total cost will be $99 + $198 (two-quarters of the watch service) + USPTO fees (currently $350), totaling $647.

This investment secures not just the federal registration of your trademark but its ongoing protection against infringement.

Transparency in fees

The questions “is Trademarkia a scam” or “is Trademarkia legit” often come up because of concerns about potential hidden fees.

Let us assure you that our fee structure is transparent.

The only additional charges you might encounter are in specific legal scenarios, such as opposition against your trademark or necessary corrections requested by the USPTO.

It's important to remember that the trademark process is a legal one, and while our attorneys strive to streamline it, certain complexities may arise.

Have concerns about how it all works? Don't worry! We've got your back.

The importance of the advisory email

A key component of our service, regardless of whether you select the $99 subscription package, the $299 standard plan, or the $499 premium plan, is the advisory email you will receive from a licensed trademark attorney.

This communication is not just a simple procedural step.

In this email, you'll gain insights into your trademark application's likelihood of success.

In it, an attorney will guide you on the most strategic steps forward, including the possibility of registering your trademark under a different class, if necessary.

The advisory email also includes a personalized video by the attorney explaining the contents of the email.

Understanding the contents of this email is crucial.

It's crafted to give you a clear understanding of your trademark's legal position.

We encourage you to engage with this email actively, as it embodies the personalized attention and expert guidance that sets Trademarkia apart.

In addition, keep in mind that if you need to file under two different classes:

The second class will be treated as a separate application, and you'll have to pay for it separately.

Fair cancellation policy for trademark subscriptions

Our cancellation policy is designed with fairness in mind.

If you decide to cancel your trademark registration services subscription before the prescribed period of your trademark watch period (after the second watch payment of our $99 subscription bundle), a charge for the standard $299 unbundled package will be applied.

However, if cancellation occurs before you have received legal services, our team is committed to processing a prompt refund.

Need to process a refund? No problem!

Choosing the right trademark application plan for your needs

Selecting the appropriate trademark application plan is a decision that goes beyond cost —

It's about identifying what aligns best with your specific needs.

  • $99 subscription plan: This plan is particularly advantageous for ongoing protection. It includes the trademark watch service, a proactive measure to safeguard against infringement.
  • $299 standard plan: Offering a comprehensive solution for many, this plan includes everything except the trademark watch service and the extensive trademark search, which is a feature of our premium plan.
  • $499 premium plan: Designed as an all-encompassing package, the premium plan combines the benefits of the other plans and includes a one-year free trademark watch service (followed by a $99 quarterly fee). With a one-time fee of $499 (+USPTO fees), it's tailored for those seeking extensive coverage and peace of mind.

Each plan is structured to meet different levels of need and investment, ensuring that every client can find a solution that suits their particular situation.
