Review Process: The USPTO will examine your application, and you may need to respond to any office actions (requests for more information).

Registration: If approved, your trademark will be published for opposition. If no one objects, it will be officially registered.

Maintain the Trademark: File periodic maintenance documents to keep your trademark active.
How to Trademark a Phrase

Evaluate Distinctiveness: Ensure your phrase is unique and not just a common expression. The more distinctive it is, the stronger your chances of securing a trademark.
