Frequently Asked Questions
How experienced are your people compared to law firms?
In large law firms, trademark applications are too often handled by junior attorneys and ‘supervised’ by senior attorneys. Our philosophy is different: no juniors, only senior-level experts who’ve worked as trademark examiners with the government office (CIPO).
Do you offer payment plans or deferred payment?
In addition to being able to pay directly on the Heirlume website we now offer the option to Buy Now, Pay Later. This feature allows you to take advantage of our trademark services today and pay at a later date. Select “Buy Now, Pay Later” at checkout.
How do you offer such low rates?
We are able to minimize legal fees by utilizing our industry leading AI compliance check technology and offering assistance with the hard parts of your application while letting you handle the rest.
My business and brand mean a lot to me; how can I be sure I can trust you?
Our Heirlume AI compliance check technology offers unparalleled accuracy by reducing the human error common with manual lawyer processes. Heirlume delivers the highest quality trademark registration available on the market — better than even the best lawyers. Our experts are all licensed, registered practitioners. Heirlume is a member of the International Trademark Association (INTA), adherent to the Canadian Intellectual Property Office (CIPO), United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) and World Intellectual Property Office (WIPO) standards.
Trademarking seems straightforward; can’t I just do it on my own?
While you can file a trademark application without expert help, the reality is that over 80% of self-filed trademark applications fail to protect or fail completely. Even the most minor mistake can result in refusal or extensive delays. A properly filed application is crucial to successful trademark registration. The CIPO does not recommend self-filing and nor do we.
Do you guarantee success?
While we cannot guarantee success, we can guarantee expertise – and our expertise almost always results in success. The reality is, the ultimate decision about your trademark application is made by the CIPO.
I registered my website domain. That means I already own my name, right?
Wrong. Simply registering a domain name does not make it a trademark. The domain name is still subject to infringement under trademark law. Under law, domains are ‘borrowed.’ This means that if there were a domain dispute, the owner of the associated trademark rights will gain a transfer of the domain.
Does my business need to be incorporated to file a trademark?
No. Any individual, organization, business, trade union or association may apply to register their mark. If you initially file under your personal name and later wish to change the owner to be your corporation, a simple request made to the CIPO is all that is required.
How do I find out if my trademark is available?
To be certain that your trademark is available (and to avoid potential conflicts), a pre-filing search should be conducted in each country where registration is desired to locate any existing trademarks that are similar to yours and used for similar products and/or services. Any search other than a full comprehensive trademark search (proper lawyer search) is risky.
Make sure your trademark is available.
Use our intelligent search tool to check the availability of your trademark to make registration faster and easier.
