§ 02<br>THE RACE CONDITION

Trademarks go to whoever files first.

You shipped, posted, and launched — but until something is on file, anyone can claim your name. A USPTO filing runs $350–$650 per class. FiledMark gets you on record now — starting at $99.

§ 03<br>THE MECHANISM · PARIS CONVENTION, ART. 4

Three steps. One treaty doing the heavy lifting.

+6 MONTHS

03

You file with us today.

Tell us your name/mark and what it covers. We file it the same week in a Paris Convention member country where official fees are a fraction of US fees.

Your priority date is locked.

Under Article 4 of the Paris Convention (1883), that filing date is honored by 180+ member countries — including the United States — for 6 months.

You file in the US when ready.

Any time within 6 months, file at the USPTO claiming your FiledMark priority date under Section 44(d). For disputes, it's as if you filed in the US on day one.

§ 08<br>QUESTIONS OF FACT

01Is this actually legit?

Yes. It rests on the Paris Convention of 1883 , an international treaty honored by 180+ countries and administered by WIPO, and recognized by US law under the Lanham Act §44(d). The mechanism is decades old — we just make it a same-week filing starting at $99 instead of a legal project.
