Why Kennesaw
Protect what you build in Kennesaw.
Kennesaw’s university-driven energy fuels student startups, software ventures, fitness and wellness brands, and food concepts that need trademark clearance and copyright protection from day one.
Federal trademark registration is the only protection that scales with a Kennesaw business. It gives you nationwide priority from your filing date, the right to use the ® symbol, the ability to record with U.S. Customs to block knockoffs, and standing to sue infringers in federal court. State registration and common-law rights are not substitutes — and "we’ll deal with it later" is how Kennesaw brands end up rebranding after a cease-and-desist letter lands.

Our Process
Step 1
Strategy Call
A 30-minute consultation to understand the brand, the goods/services, your timeline, and any prior use. You leave with a filing plan and an exact quote.
Step 2
Comprehensive Clearance Search
We search the USPTO database, all 50 state databases, common-law uses, domains, and social handles, then deliver a written opinion graded green / yellow / red.
Step 3
Application Filing
We draft the identification of goods/services to maximize coverage, select the right classes, and submit your application to the USPTO with a same-day filing receipt.
Step 4
Examination & Office Actions
About 8 months after filing, the USPTO assigns an examining attorney. If they raise issues, we draft and file the response — most refusals are overcome on the first reply.
Step 5
Publication & Registration
Approved marks publish for opposition, then move to registration (or a Notice of Allowance for intent-to-use filings). We calendar your maintenance deadlines.

Common Questions
Kennesaw Trademark FAQ.
How much does a Kennesaw trademark attorney cost?
Landry Legal works on transparent flat fees. A knockout search runs $300–$500, a comprehensive clearance opinion is $750–$1,200, and a federal application (one class) is typically $950 in attorney fees plus the USPTO filing fee of $250 per class for TEAS Plus. We disclose the full out-the-door cost in writing before you authorize any work.
Do I need a federal trademark or a Georgia state trademark for my Kennesaw business?
For almost every Kennesaw business, federal registration is the answer. Georgia state registration only protects you within Georgia, can’t be enforced in federal court, and offers no priority outside the state. Federal registration grants nationwide priority from the filing date, the right to use the ® symbol, and standing to sue infringers in federal court.
How long does USPTO trademark registration take?
After filing, the USPTO currently takes about 8 months to assign your application to an examining attorney, then another 4–8 months to registration if there are no Office Actions or oppositions. Most clients see registration certificates 11–14 months after filing.
What is a trademark clearance search and why do I need one?
A clearance search reviews USPTO records, all 50 state databases, common-law uses, domains, and social handles to find marks that could block your registration or trigger a cease-and-desist letter. We deliver a written opinion grading your mark green / yellow / red. Skipping clearance is the most common reason businesses end up rebranding 18 months in.
Can you represent my Kennesaw business if you’re based in Decatur?
Yes. Trademark practice is federal, so we represent clients throughout Cobb County and nationwide from our metro Atlanta office. Most of the work happens by phone, email, and video — and we’re a short drive away if you prefer to meet in person.
My brand is already being copied — what can I do today?
Move fast. We can usually get a cease-and-desist letter out within 48 hours, file an emergency UDRP if the infringer registered a confusingly similar domain, file a TTAB opposition against a pending application, or file in federal court for injunctive relief. The longer you wait, the harder it is to protect your rights.
