Mandour & Associates

California trademark firm with separate flat fees for search and application

Overview

Mandour & Associates is a trademark law firm with offices in San Diego, Irvine and Los Angeles, California.[4] Its published fee schedule separates the clearance search from the application. The search is a US$500 flat professional fee and is designed to identify the risk of consumer confusion with existing marks, including unregistered common-law marks. The application is a US$1,450 flat professional fee covering preparation, filing and basic follow-up through registration.[4] The firm states that the government filing fee is generally US$350 per class on top of those fees, and that intent-to-use applications add US$150 per class.[4] Separating the two fees lets an applicant buy a search alone and decide whether to file afterwards, which is useful when several candidate names are being tested.
