Summary

I'm the solo founder of a small hardware startup preparing to launch a portable music instrument on Kickstarter. I need a US trademark attorney for clearance and filing on two proposed marks: Parent brand mark — Classes 9 & 15 Product name mark — Classes 9 & 15 I'll share the actual marks with engaged counsel privately (attorney-client privilege). Both are word marks, English-language, distinctive rather than descriptive. One has a moderately competitive landscape in adjacent (non-conflicting) classes; the other has minimal conflicts. I have preliminary USPTO Trademark Search notes on both that I'll share once we engage, so we don't pay twice for the same work. Scope: Professional clearance opinion on both marks — likelihood-of-confusion analysis under DuPont factors, factoring my preliminary findings and anything I missed Filing strategy — recommended class priority, 1(a) vs 1(b) given pre-launch status, timing relative to Kickstarter Application preparation and filing for both marks in recommended classes Office action response if USPTO raises issues (fine if billed separately) About me: US-based (Austin, TX), solo founder, quick decision-maker Preliminary search work already done; not looking to pay for search I've already completed How to bid: Please quote your flat fee (or hourly with realistic estimate) for: The clearance opinion Preparing and filing each mark in each class Specific quotes beat ranges. Please include: Bar admission and USPTO registration Typical timeline from engagement → clearance opinion → filed application I'll respond within 24 hours to the strongest quote.
