No, most of our clients do not need to have any documents ready. You do not need any business formation documents or sales invoices in order to register a trademark in the US. If we do need any documents from you, we’ll ask you for them after you’ve retained us. All of the information we need from you is asked for on our online form, and it’s pretty basic information (what word/logo/slogan you want to register, what goods/services you want to register with them for, what your mailing address is, etc.).
We accept credit/debit card. If you would like to pay by some other method, such as wire transfer, let us know by emailing us.
Yes. As long as you are represented by a US-licensed attorney (like us), there is absolutely no problem with using a foreign home address or foreign business address for a U.S. trademark application. You may file as a foreign individual or as a foreign business entity. There is no extra cost or paperwork required for foreign people and individuals
You generally should not copyright a brand name. Brand names should be registered as trademarks, not copyrights. Logos should also be registered as trademarks because they are brand identifiers. You can copyright a logo, but that's much less useful than registering it as a trademark.
