If our legal team marked your trademark as high risk, it’s usually due to descriptiveness or similarity to existing trademarks already on the register. You are welcome to move forward with the application, but please note that doing so could increase the chances of delays, office actions, or even rejection by the trademark office.

If you'd prefer a safer approach, we recommend:

  • Exploring alternative brand names or logo designs.
  • Scheduling a consultation with our trademark strategy experts to help you identify stronger, lower-risk options for your brand.
