Whether you are an international entrepreneur entering the U.S. market or a foreign IP firm referring U.S. filings, TradeMaker prepares your application correctly — at a fraction of traditional U.S. attorney costs.
The USPTO requires foreign-domiciled applicants to be represented by a U.S.-licensed attorney. If your address is outside the U.S., we will connect you with a U.S.-licensed attorney for compliant representation.
Expanding into the U.S. market? A U.S. trademark registration protects your brand from day one — before a domestic competitor files your name first.
Referring U.S. trademark matters from your jurisdiction? TradeMaker prepares the documentation and connects you with a U.S.-licensed attorney who acts as attorney of record for USPTO compliance.

I am not a U.S. citizen. Can I file a U.S. trademark?
Yes. Non-U.S. citizens can file U.S. trademarks if they are using the mark in U.S. commerce or have a bona fide intent to do so. Foreign domicile requires designating a U.S.-licensed attorney to represent you before the USPTO.
Do I need a U.S. address?
No. You need a valid mailing address (which can be international), but all filings and correspondence are handled electronically through the USPTO's Trademark Center.
Can I use a foreign trademark registration as the basis for a U.S. filing?
Yes — Section 44(d) and 44(e) bases allow you to use a foreign application or registration to claim priority or as the filing basis in the U.S.
I already have an EU trademark. Will it protect me in the U.S.?
No. U.S. trademark rights are territorial. An EUIPO registration provides no protection in the U.S. — you must file separately with the USPTO.
TradeMaker's preparation fee is the same regardless of your country. USPTO government fees apply to all filers equally.
