- Transparent flat fees · Attorneys with 25+ years of combined trademark experience
Flat-fee trademark registration for Minneapolis businesses — med-tech and health innovation, consumer brands, financial services, and the startups building in the shadow of more Fortune 500 headquarters per capita than almost anywhere in the country. No downtown office visit required.
From med-tech innovation to consumer brands to a startup scene built in the shadow of major national headquarters, the businesses shaping this city depend on a name customers and partners can trust — and that trust is exactly what a trademark protects.
Minneapolis anchors one of the deepest medical device talent pools in the world — device names and platform brands need protection before they show up in an FDA submission or a distributor agreement.
Product names and packaging brands built alongside some of the country’s largest consumer companies need protection early — a distinctive name is harder to win in a market this crowded, and worth locking down once you have one.
Minneapolis has one of the highest concentrations of banking and financial talent in a major metro — firm and product names are core assets worth registering before a competitor does.
Companies moving through the local venture and accelerator ecosystem benefit from locking in a name early — before it appears in a pitch deck, a term sheet, or a funding announcement.
Minneapolis has a music and arts legacy with real national reach — a label, venue, or creative brand name that travels that far deserves protection that travels with it.
Rooted in the city’s milling and manufacturing history, today’s component and equipment makers need product line names protected before they appear in a customer contract.
Twin Cities Trademarks is based just across the river in St. Paul — close enough to meet in person if you’d like, but built so you don’t have to. Business owners get the same flat-fee structure whether they’re around the corner or across the state.
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 our office just across the river in St. Paul.
Usually, yes. A trademark just needs to be distinctive within your own goods or services category, not unique citywide. Being near well-known companies doesn't block your registration — the clearance search is what tells us if there's an actual conflict.
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.
