Serving Rochester & Destination Medical Center — 100% remote

Protect the name behind the discovery.

Flat-fee trademark registration for Rochester businesses — medtech and biotech startups, med device makers, and clinics building around Mayo Clinic. No downtown office visit required. Everything handled by phone, video, and email.

Built for the Med City economy

Rochester runs on discovery. Make sure your name is protected before it ships.

Around Mayo Clinic, Discovery Square, and the Destination Medical Center initiative, a growing base of medtech, biotech, and clinical-adjacent businesses depend on a name that patients, investors, and partners can trust — and that trust is exactly what a trademark protects.

Biotech & Life Science

Discovery Square Startups

Companies working out of Discovery Square and shared lab space need their platform names and product lines protected early — before a term sheet or licensing deal makes a rebrand expensive.

Medical Device

Med Device & Diagnostics

Device names, model lines, and diagnostic brand names all qualify for protection — and in a field this competitive, an unregistered name is a name anyone can adopt next.

 

HealthTech & Software

Clinical & Health IT Software

Platform and app names built for providers or patients need protection that keeps pace with fundraising and product launches, not a filing that trails behind them.

 

Clinics & Care Services

Independent Clinics & Practices

Practices operating alongside Mayo Clinic’s global draw depend on a distinct name patients can find and trust — a registered mark keeps a similarly-named practice from causing confusion.

Hospitality & Patient Services

Lodging & Visitor Services

Rochester’s medical tourism draws patients and families from around the world. A memorable, protected name matters when your business depends on being easy to find and recommend.

Advanced Manufacturing

Precision & Tech Manufacturing

Component and hardware makers building on Rochester’s technology base — including the former IBM campus — need product names locked down before they appear in a customer contract.

Why Rochester clients choose a remote firm

You don't need a downtown St. Paul office. You need a flat fee and a straight answer.

Twin Cities Trademarks was built for exactly this: founders and clinicians moving fast around Mayo Clinic and Discovery Square who want the same quality of work without the drive, the hourly clock, or the upsell.

01

Clearance search

02

Strategy call

A short phone or video call to pick the right filing basis and class of goods or services for your business.

03

Filing

We prepare and file your application with the USPTO under our firm’s Customer Number and monitor it through examination.

04

Registration

If the USPTO raises questions, we respond on your behalf. Once approved, you own a registered federal trademark.

Questions from Rochester business owners

Common questions before you file.

No. Trademark registration is a federal process handled entirely through the USPTO, not the Minnesota state courts, so any Minnesota-licensed attorney can file and manage your application from anywhere — including a firm based in the Twin Cities working with you by phone.

It's often the right time. Startups working through Discovery Square, gBETA, or a Mayo-affiliated accelerator benefit from locking in a name before it appears in pitch decks, licensing talks, or a funding announcement — rebranding after that gets expensive fast.

Timelines are set by the USPTO and vary by filing volume and whether the application is questioned during examination. We'll give you a realistic estimate on your strategy call rather than a generic number.

That's exactly what the clearance search is for — catching conflicts before you file, so you're not stuck rebranding a business a year in, mid-raise or mid-launch.

Let's find out if your name is protectable — before someone else files first.
