Submitting Your Application
Why Hire an Attorney?
If you are foreign-domiciled, you are required to use a U.S.-licensed attorney to file your trademark-related submissions with the USPTO. This requirement also applies to all Canadian applicants, registrants, and parties.
A person is domiciled where the person’s principal residence is located. A company is domiciled where its principal place of business (i.e. its headquarters) is located.
USPTO ENCOURAGES HIRING AN ATTORNEY
Here is what the USPTO says:
“[W]e strongly encourage you to hire a U.S.-licensed attorney who specializes in trademark law to guide you through the registration process.”
An attorney can help with the following:

- Completing your application accurately
- Choosing appropriate specimens showing use of your mark in commerce
- Responding to the USPTO trademark examining attorney if needed
- Explaining the scope of your rights and how to best enforce and defend them
- Timely prepare and file documents with the USPTO to maintain your registration
- Explain how to extend your mark into new markets using trademark licenses
