- Transparent flat fees · Attorneys with 25+ years of combined trademark experience
Flat-fee trademark registration for Duluth businesses — breweries, outfitters, marinas, and Canal Park shops alike. No downtown office visit required. Everything handled by phone, video, and email.
From the Port of Duluth-Superior to Canal Park, the businesses that make this region distinct depend on a name customers trust — and that trust is exactly what a trademark protects.
Taproom names, flagship beer names, and can art all qualify for protection — and Minnesota’s craft beverage scene is crowded enough that a name clash can force a costly rebrand.
Gear brands, guide services, and Lake Superior charter operations build their bookings on word-of-mouth. A registered mark keeps a competitor from borrowing that reputation.
Companies tied to the Duluth-Superior harbor and Foreign Trade Zone often trade internationally — which makes early federal registration more important, not less.
Seasonal visitor traffic means your name does a lot of the selling. Trademark protection stops another shop three blocks away from riding on it.
Component makers and suppliers serving Duluth’s aviation and manufacturing base need product line names protected before they show up in a bid package.
Selling on Amazon, Etsy, or your own site out of Duluth? A registered mark is often required to enroll in brand protection programs that stop counterfeit listings.
Twin Cities Trademarks was built for exactly this: business owners outside the metro who want the same quality of work without the drive, the hourly clock, or the upsell.
We search the USPTO database and common-law use for conflicts before you spend a dollar on filing — the step most DIY filers skip.
A short phone or video call to pick the right filing basis and class of goods or services for your business.
We prepare and file your application with the USPTO under our firm’s Customer Number and monitor it through examination.
If the USPTO raises questions, we respond on your behalf. Once approved, you own a registered federal trademark.
Licensed Minnesota attorneys
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.
If you sell across state lines, ship product, or plan to sell online, federal registration protects the name nationwide, not just in Duluth. It also gives you the right to use the ® symbol and stronger legal standing if someone else adopts a similar name.
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.
Free initial consultation, entirely by phone or video. No trip to the Twin Cities required
