- Transparent flat fees · Attorneys with 25+ years of combined trademark experience
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Free initial consultation, entirely by phone or video. No trip to the Twin Cities required
