What I handle

Office action: U.S. attorney required

If your domicile is outside the United States, the USPTO requires a U.S.-licensed attorney to represent you. The refusal is fixable. The deadline is not.

New applications from abroad

Single- and multi-class filings for applicants in Asia, the Gulf, and anywhere else outside the U.S.

Amazon Brand Registry

I handle the USPTO side and the paperwork Brand Registry asks for on top of it. Your seller account stays in your name.

Maintenance

Statements of use, renewals, and changes of owner or address.

What I do not take on: trademark litigation, oppositions and cancellations before the TTAB, marks for goods I have no way to verify, and applicants who are already represented by another attorney. If your matter is one of those, tell me in your first email and I will say so plainly instead of taking the file.

One attorney, start to finish.

I am Hana Beom, admitted in the State of New York. Before law, I spent six years at Motorola Mobility writing embedded software for mobile products sold in the United States. Since 2020 I have practiced as a U.S. attorney at law firms in Seoul, advising companies on cross-border regulatory matters across Korea, the wider Asia-Pacific, and the Middle East.

That background is why I take these cases. An application filed from Seoul or Dubai is not the same as one filed from Ohio. The deadlines land at inconvenient hours, your description of goods has to survive translation, and you have a business to run while all of it is pending. I answer my own email.

Brand Registry denials and other issuesQuoted after review

USPTO government fees are separate and are paid by you directly to the USPTO. Anything outside these packages — substantive refusals, oppositions, extensions, or work that needs research beyond the agreed scope — is billed at $300 an hour, and I estimate it in writing before I start.

Process

  1. Send the details

    Your serial number, or the mark and what you sell.

    Flat fee and scope of work, in writing.

  3. Sign and pay

    Card or wire. Government fees go straight to the USPTO.

  4. Approve and file

    Nothing is submitted until you have approved it.

  5. I track the dates

    Office actions, statements of use, renewals.

Questions people ask before they hire me

Where are you based, and does it matter?
I work from Seoul, and that is deliberate. Practice before the USPTO is federal, so any attorney in good standing with a U.S. state bar can represent you there, wherever that attorney happens to live. Working from this side of the world means I am awake during your business hours, and your deadlines do not sit unread overnight.
Why does the USPTO say I need an attorney at all?
Since 2019, any applicant whose domicile is outside the United States must be represented by a U.S.-licensed attorney in trademark matters. The rule applies to your first filing and to everything that follows it.
What happens if my deadline passes?
The application goes abandoned, and the government fee you already paid is not refunded. Reviving it is possible in narrow circumstances, and it costs more than answering on time. Send me the notice while the date is still ahead of you.
Do you guarantee registration?
No, and no one honestly can. The USPTO decides registration and Amazon decides Brand Registry. What I do commit to is the scope, the fee, and the deadline — all of it in writing before you pay.
Which language do we work in?
English for anything that goes into the USPTO record, because that is what the record requires. Korean whenever it is easier for you to explain your business to me.

No serial number? Email me anyway.

A few lines is enough. If a deadline is already running, put the date in the subject line.

This website is attorney advertising. It provides general information only and is not legal advice. Reading this page, entering a serial number, or sending an email does not create an attorney-client relationship; that relationship begins only when a written engagement letter has been signed by both of us.

No outcome is guaranteed. Registration is decided by the USPTO, and Brand Registry acceptance is decided by Amazon. Neither is within my control. Any deadlines shown here are general information and do not replace the dates stated in your own USPTO correspondence.
