Overview

Building something great
requires owning your name.

Every business has a brand. But without legal protection, your name, logo, and creative work are available to anyone who files first. Most founders don't discover this until it's too late — when a copycat appears, an investor asks for IP documentation, or a USPTO rejection lands in their inbox.

Madison Trademark Solutions handles the legal side so you don't have to. Flat-fee trademark registration, copyright protection, and enforcement — delivered with the clarity and speed your business actually needs.

FAQ

Common questions, clear answers.

Everything you need to know before you book a consultation.

An LLC or DBA registration simply tells the state that your business exists. It does not give you exclusive rights to your business name. A federal trademark registration gives you nationwide exclusive rights to use your name or logo in connection with your specific goods or services — and the legal standing to stop others from using it. Most businesses need both.
The USPTO currently processes trademark applications in approximately 8–12 months for straightforward applications with no issues. If the examiner issues an office action requiring a response, the process can extend to 12–18 months. Intent-to-use applications have additional steps that can affect the timeline. We'll give you a realistic estimate based on your specific situation.
No. An Intent-to-Use (ITU) application lets you file a trademark application based on your bona fide intention to use the mark in commerce. This allows you to lock in a filing date — and therefore your legal priority — before you launch. Once you begin using the mark, you submit a Statement of Use to complete the registration. This is especially valuable for startups and pre-launch brands.
Yes — copyright protection attaches automatically the moment you create an original work in a fixed, tangible form. But registration with the U.S. Copyright Office is what gives you the ability to sue for infringement and pursue statutory damages (up to $150,000 per work for willful infringement). Without registration, your remedies are significantly limited. Registration before infringement occurs — or within three months of publication — is strongly advisable.
The U.S. Copyright Office has been clear: purely AI-generated content is not copyrightable because there is no human authorship. However, works that involve meaningful human creative selection, arrangement, or expression — even if AI tools were used in the process — may qualify for copyright protection for those human-authored elements. The line is evolving and the analysis is fact-specific. If you're creating with AI, we can help you assess your situation.
Our flat-fee packages are all-inclusive for the scope of services described — attorney time, application preparation, class selection, filing, and attorney of record status throughout the process. Government filing fees (USPTO or USCO) are listed separately because they are paid directly to the government and are not markup. The Standard Filing Package is $750 (attorney fee) + $395 (USPTO & admin) for one class. There are no hourly billing surprises.
Yes. Trademark and copyright are federal matters, which means Armani files with the USPTO and the U.S. Copyright Office — federal agencies that operate nationwide. Clients anywhere in the country can work with Madison Trademark Solutions. We've worked with founders and creators in New York, San Francisco, Chicago, Austin, Miami, and beyond.
