TRADEMARK SERVICES FOR COMPANIES & IN-HOUSE TEAMS
Filing built around your pipeline.
For organizations filing more than a handful of marks a year, our flat-fee tiers aren't the right structure. We build custom engagements for in-house counsel, brand teams, and marketing leaders who need predictable turnaround, dedicated attorney contact, and consistent quality across a portfolio of filings.
OUR APPROACH
How we work with company clients.
Custom engagements built around how your team actually files. We scope to your filing volume, your timelines, and your internal review process — not the other way around.
One attorney relationship
You work directly with a named California attorney across every filing — not a rotating bench. Continuity matters when you're managing a portfolio.
Volume-based pricing
Engagements are priced around your expected filing volume, not on a per-application basis. Predictable cost lines for your budget cycle.
Predictable turnaround
Engagement terms include defined timelines for clearance, application drafting, and Office Action responses — built around your launch calendar, not ours.
Built to coordinate
We work alongside in-house legal, brand teams, and outside marketing or PR. Status updates, naming consultations, and clearance work happen on your team's cadence.
What a company engagement looks like.
Most company engagements follow the same three-phase shape — scoping, terms, and active filing — though the specifics vary based on volume and timeline.
— 01 —
Scoping conversation
We start with a no-cost call to understand your filing volume, the marks you're planning, your internal review process, and any timeline or budget constraints. Roughly 45 minutes.
— 02 —
Proposal and engagement terms
Based on the scoping call, we draft a written engagement proposal with defined deliverables, turnaround commitments, and pricing structure. Reviewed and signed before any work begins.
— 03 —
Filing under the engagement
Once engaged, individual filings move through clearance, drafting, and submission on the agreed cadence. You have a dedicated attorney contact for status, questions, and new requests.
GET STARTED
Let's talk about your portfolio.
If you're filing at volume — or expect to — the conversation starts with understanding what you're working with. Book a scoping consultation and we'll come prepared to discuss what an engagement with Markley would actually look like for your team.
​
Consultations are no-cost and confidential. We typically respond to inquiries within one business day.
What to expect from the consultation
→ A real conversation about your filing pipeline and pain points
Â
→ Initial thinking on engagement structure and timing
Â
→ Honest read on whether Markley is the right fit
​
→ Indicative pricing ranges, before any proposal
​
→ No pressure to engage — and no follow-up sales process
The next step is a brief scoping intake so we can run a conflict check and prepare for your call. This opens our secure intake form. Submitting it does not create an attorney-client relationship or begin an engagement.
