about

The Marque Project is a specialist U.S. trademark practice built for Nordic and European businesses entering the American market.

It's run by a U.S.-licensed attorney, based in Aarhus, Denmark — which means you get qualified legal counsel without the timezone friction, cultural distance, or billing rates of a large U.S. firm.

Why you need an American attorney

Since 2019, the USPTO has required that all foreign-domiciled trademark applicants be represented by a licensed U.S. attorney. Automated filing platforms cannot represent you. European IP attorneys cannot represent you. If you're based outside the United States, you need a U.S.-licensed practitioner — full stop.

That's where this practice steps in to help.

How it works

When you submit the form to contact us, we will respond within 48 hours to connect and find out more. During the first meeting, we will ask some questions to understand your business and what makes your idea unique.

Next, we will conduct research to make sure no one else has registered or is using your trademark. We will come back to you with our legal opinion on the viability of your trademark and how we think you should proceed.

If you decide to take the next step, we will draft your trademark application, and submit it to the USPTO. We will keep you up-to-date as your application moves thrugh the process, so you know where it is and what to expect.

It takes months for the USPTO to process a trademark application. Once approved, you will be free to use your rights as the holder of a federally registered trademark in the United States.
