Trademark Timeline Infographic
Waiting for a trademark to register can be stressful. On average, it takes 11 months for a US trademark application to mature to registration. We’ve provided a helpful timeline to show you what to expect during the process.
There are a few different filing bases for a US trademark application. The below timeline is in reference to an actual use application or an application based on a business already using the mark in commerce.

Failing to do so will end in the abandonment of your application and the loss of your filing fees.
