Trademark Attorney Client Discovery Form

Streamline Trademark Client Intake with a Professional Discovery Form

For trademark attorneys and intellectual property law firms, the initial client discovery process sets the foundation for successful brand protection. This Trademark Attorney Client Discovery Form helps you gather critical information about proposed trademarks, assess registration viability, and develop comprehensive protection strategies—all before the first consultation.

Built for Intellectual Property Professionals

Whether you're a solo trademark practitioner or part of a larger IP firm, this template captures everything you need for effective trademark counseling: brand name details, goods and services classification, evidence of prior use, international expansion plans, and enforcement priorities. The structured format ensures consistent intake across clients while helping you identify potential conflicts, strategic opportunities, and scope of services early in the relationship.

From Discovery to Registration Strategy

This form goes beyond basic contact information. It guides clients through describing their mark in detail, understanding how they use it commercially, documenting prior use that establishes rights, and articulating their business goals for trademark protection. The responses help you assess likelihood of registration, identify which Nice Classification classes apply, evaluate international filing needs under the Madrid Protocol, and recommend an appropriate enforcement approach.

Built on Paperform's flexible platform, this template can be customized to match your firm's branding and specific practice areas.
