I strongly do not recommend this company! I was charged $1,000, after 3 weeks my application was not even sent, calls and mail were not answered, there is simply no feedback. When I'm asked to get my money back, they're just silent! I lost time, and the money was never returned to me, avoid this fraud!
They sent me through a rabbit hole and hurdle after hurdle to ultimately realize this simple trademark renewal was turning into a massive production because of their incompetent team which is made up of all outsourced Filipino call center reps that are completely USELESS. I placed an order for a trademark renewal and uploaded the required documents within minutes and it took them 33 days to get back to me - THIRTY THREE days. Due to their delay, conveniently the day day is when the timeline expired for me to not have to pay an additional fee to the government for being past the grace period. They dragged their asses, cost me more money, and an immense amount of stress and frustration yelling at call center reps that could not do anything. Hours on chat, the phone, and email ultimately to end up disputing the charge with my credit card company and having to file locally with a real attorney. SAVE YOURSELF THE HEADACHE and use a real attorney. Using Trademark Engine was such a mistake.
Their system is not user friendly. There represents refuse to help even when errors made could have been avoided if their system was better. They simply have fields you feel out and charge you for that. Not worth it at all. I paid for several services and they wouldn't show in my plan. Then when I paid for assistance with the office action request they were equally unhelpful. Save yourself time and use legal zoom or a lawyer who specializes in trademarks.
Trade Mark Indian (Engin) TME screwed up my filing due to a revolving door of employees at their so called business. TME missed the fact that I wanted to trademark my logo art which included my business name.
These misguided bozos took my money & filing fee upfront and I lost over $300.00 dollars.
Consumers beware! TME claims to be a specialist; but their mistakes may have cost me a chance to
Fully register my logo trademark of many years! I am completely disgusted with the fact that they would not
Provide a make good on their mistakes; and too many employees trying to play "office!" Contact all local
Media and have they investigated now!

Be careful!... when you are filling out application they ask if you want "Monitoring", I elected NO but what they don't tell you is that they automatically put it on even when you say NO and after the first 30 days of the "Free Trial" which you are unaware of because you said NO they then Bill you $175 per quarter $700 per year. So if you miss this charge on your statement they won't refund. When asked where the policy is regarding this on website, they claim they send email and then when asked they say they don't have copy of email... they have no answer... very deceptive company
You might as well throw your paperwork into the wind and just hope it gets executed properly. The tech makes you feel like you are in a Flintstones episode.
Trademark Engine is indeed a scam. I gave them two hours to refund my money. They never responded. So I tipped the Federal Bureau Investigation about their fraudulent acts.
Like with so many they took $300,- from my credit card, never delivered on the (24hrs) service or any service for that matter. And ignore
I don't even know where to began with this... This would have been cheaper just doing it yourself! They are not upfront about anything and will charge your card!. 6 months later after you have already paid for the package deal and all the other hidden fees. They will tel you that you have to pay another $275 to finally be able to process your application. WTF! That's a total of $1000! I would put negative stars if I could!
An overall smooth and clean process with them.
But should you need to talk to someone, you can forget it.
No one returns a call. While I was in middle of the application process, I tried to get a quick answer on some questions, their chat is bots, and the live ppl their can simply not answer your questions.
Left them several voicemails, but my call was never returned.
After waiting for 20 minutes on hold (with a countdown of 9-8-7 ppl in the queue before me...), I reached the message that no one is available, I left a message, but of course, no one ever returned my call.
(and btw, terribly annoying and loud hold-music, but try to lower your phone volume, you'll not hear when someone picks up, annoying is an understatement, don't believe me, try it for yourself...).
Yes, they have a cheap price, but pay a few dollars more and enjoy a respectful customer service experience.
I'm into the second hour of trying to cancel my subscription with them, I thought I'd done this previously but they don't process online cancellations and there were two parts - an annual and quarterly subscription - when the annual was cancelled they left the quarterly running and every time I get through to 'billing' the call drops and I have to start again. Avoid them.
Answer: For my first Trademark, I was recommended to use Trademark Engine. That was a big mistake. The site doesn't do any extra work. YOU essentially are entering the EXACT fields that are required on the actual USPTO website and then they simply copy and paste all the fields on the USPTO website for you. I am NOT kidding - you can literally go and check both sites. You are paying $99 to Trademark Engine for just doing this. Oh and BTW, their nonsense about 'Researching to see if the TM is taken" is literally a 5 second job on the USPTO website. You just need to enter the Trademark term that you want in the search box (TEAS) and see if it has been taken. They make it sound like it is something massive. Besides this, they actually had the nerve to over-charge me. So they charged their fee and they charged me $275 to file with the USPTO (the USPTO filing fee). It was only later, when the USPTO sent me the email confirmation, did I realize that the actual cost was only $225 - so they happily charged me $50 extra. These people are scam artists and they refuse to talk to me about this or answer emails. I have filed a dispute now with my card (who told me that they will get the refund soon). Stay away from this company and file yourself.
Answer: They keep charging you for a subscription you do not sign up for.
Answer: My first dream business has turned into a nightmare. It feels like someone else is just making money off of whoever enters that hook without actually helping business owners who are looking to create a unique brand. The trademark registration process is misleading, and it seems like they are taking advantage of people. Many people don't understand how the process works and end up paying a lot without any guarantee of approval. I am one of the people who now need to cancel the whole position, and it is bitter business now.
Answer: No, i got scammed here. This whole operation is a scam.
