OWNB, Sunrich's online trademark filing service
OWNB is an online trademark filing service operated directly by Sunrich International Patent & Law Firm.
After you provide your mark and business details, your patent attorney reviews distinctiveness, earlier marks, designated goods, and other relevant factors and provides a trademark search report. We file after your final approval. You can then view examination updates and related documents on OWNB and receive guidance as your application progresses.
