Matt and his team have helped us more than words can express. Starting a business while facing some challenges was incredibly stressful, but they guided us through every step of the process and gave us the confidence to keep moving forward. Their knowledge, professionalism, and support made all the difference in helping us get our business off the ground. We truly can't thank Matt and his team enough. Highly recommend! Thanks Matt!!

Surge Business Law was great to work with during the process of setting up our business partnership. They were responsive, knowledgeable, and made everything feel seamless from start to finish. I worked directly with Matthew Nuzum and he was excellent — professional, thorough, and easy to communicate with. Highly recommend.
Whether your business is in Iowa or Texas, these three decisions shape the application.
State business registration gives you the right to operate under a name. It does not give you trademark rights. A clearance search looks beyond exact matches for similar marks that could block your registration.
How the search worksSoftware and apps are common in Class 9, and apparel falls in Class 25. Most service businesses end up in Class 35, the class applicants most often get wrong.
See common classesFederal registration protects your brand in every state. It is a federal process, so location is not a barrier for Iowa, Texas, or anywhere else.
What registration doesA registered trademark signals legitimacy. Customers and partners know your brand is the real thing when they see the registered mark.
Federal registration protects your brand in every state. Expand confidently knowing competitors cannot legally trade on what you have built.
A trademark is a business asset that grows in value over time. It can be licensed, leveraged, and passed on as your business scales.

Every package includes an attorney search and opinion, the USPTO filing fee for one class per mark, one office action response, and 12 months of brand monitoring.
If the search shows your mark can’t register, cancel after the first monthly payment. Not using the mark yet? An intent-to-use filing adds a one-time $465 upgrade, which covers filing the Statement of Use once you start using it.
Each package covers the whole job, not a cheap first step. A trademark package runs through the first office action response. An LLC package includes the operating agreement and EIN.
Where you have options, you choose a complete tier, like Kit, Basic, or Advanced. Nothing gets added at checkout.
The few that exist, such as state filing fees or extra trademark classes, are shown next to the price before you buy.
Launch and trademark packages split the price evenly over 5 or 12 months, with no interest or financing charges.
We never start billable work without it.
We search beyond exact matches to identify similar marks that could block your registration or create legal exposure before you invest in filing.
We review the results with you, advise on your likelihood of success, and confirm the right trademark classes for your business.
We handle the application from start to finish. Every detail is reviewed before submission so nothing is missed or filed incorrectly.
When the USPTO responds, we build your response and manage the correspondence. One office action response is included in every package.
We monitor your trademark for 12 months after filing and flag potential conflicts before they escalate into legal problems.
Most trademark applications receive at least one office action from the USPTO. Without a professional response filed on time, applications are abandoned and every dollar invested is lost. At Surge Business Law, office action response is built into your package from the start.
