What Paralegal & Formalities does
Trademark filings and examinations generate a steady stream of formalities, including powers of attorney, application forms, declarations and evidence of use, cautionary notices, and responses to formal objections. Managing these requirements across jurisdictions, often through different local agents and registry procedures, can consume significant attorney and in-house team time while increasing the risk of errors, missed requirements, and filing delays.
Trexo’s paralegal services manage trademark formalities from intake through filing and post-filing requirements, working within established client procedures and systems. Services can include preparation of filing documents, coordination with local agents, signature and document tracking, responses to formal requirements, and post-filing follow-up. Our team prepares accurate documents, coordinates required activities, tracks status, and follows up on outstanding items.

COMMONLY ASKED QUESTIONS
About Paralegal & Formalities
What does trademark paralegal support cover?
Preparation of the documents that go with filing and examination, such as powers of attorney, application forms, proof-of-use evidence and declarations, and cautionary notices, plus coordination with local agents and follow-up on outstanding items.
Do you handle US proof-of-use filings?
Yes. Section 8 and Section 15 declarations and Section 71 filings for Madrid extensions are prepared and tracked as part of formalities support.
Do you coordinate with our foreign agents?
Yes. The team works with your local agents and foreign counsel in each jurisdiction to obtain and file the documents each registry requires.
Do you respond to office actions?
Non-substantive office actions and formal objections are handled as part of the service. Substantive arguments stay with your attorneys.
Can you follow our existing procedures?
Yes. We work within your established procedures rather than asking you to adopt ours. Just as you would ask your internal paralegals to adhere to your firm and client’s specific processes, Trexo does the same.
How do you track what is outstanding?
Signatures, missing documents and filing requirements are tracked at matter level, so anything still open stays visible until it is closed.
