Yes, there are ways to expedite the process of trademark registration in some jurisdictions, although the availability and procedures may vary. Here are some common methods:

United States (USPTO):

  • TEAS Plus Application: Choosing the TEAS Plus option can lead to faster processing times compared to the TEAS Standard option.
  • TEAS Reduced Fee Program: Small entities and micro-entities may qualify for reduced fees, which can also expedite processing.

European Union (EUIPO):

  • Fast-Track Examination: EUIPO offers a Fast-Track examination service for trademarks that meet specific criteria, such as providing pre-approved goods and services from the harmonized database.

United Kingdom (UKIPO):

  • Fast-Track Service: UKIPO provides a fast-track service for trademark applications that meet certain criteria, such as providing pre-approved goods and services from the harmonized database or demonstrating special circumstances warranting expedited processing.
