Trademark Factory

What Trademark Factory does

Trademark Factory® is a private legal services firm founded in 2011 (as Mincov Law Corporation) and rebranded in 2013 by founder and CEO Andrei Mincov. Headquartered in Vancouver, BC, with a second entity in Dubai (Trademark Factory Global – FZCO, IFZA), the company provides end-to-end trademark services across Canada, the United States, and 150+ international jurisdictions. Its core offering is a flat-fee Trademark Registration Package (USD $995 + government fees) under a 'Guaranteed Result for a Guaranteed Budget™' model that returns fees if a registrable mark ultimately receives a final refusal, structurally differentiating it from traditional hourly-billing IP law firms.

The product portfolio spans the full trademark lifecycle: search and registrability assessment, USPTO and CIPO filing, Statement of Use filings, international coordination ($2,500 per country per trademark), Office Action response handling (with pay-as-you-go, Office Action Insurance™ ($599–$2,299), and Guaranteed Result add-on tiers), opposition and cancellation defense, monitoring subscriptions via TM Watch™ (Silver $19/month, Gold $47/month per trademark per country), Section 8/9 maintenance and renewals, portfolio management, and assignment and licensing agreements. Supporting tooling includes the Free Office Action Decoder, a suite of fee and assignment calculators, and the Client Cabinet portal for client-side status tracking. Distribution is directly through phone (844.TM.FACTORY), website consultation forms, WhatsApp, and a content-led acquisition engine comprising a YouTube channel, blog, Kick-Ass Brands Show podcast, and an affiliate program.

The firm targets entrepreneurs and startups as its primary segment, with growing businesses, global brands, and investors/acquirers as secondary segments. Pricing is anchored on one-time professional-service engagements at the registration layer, supplemented by subscription monitoring and recurring renewal/maintenance revenue. The company is privately held and founder-owned, with no disclosed external funding, 1–10 employees, a U.S. trademark attorney reportedly managing 2,000+ live applications, and a stated 5,090+ cumulative trademarks safeguarded against a 99.3% success rate (vs. a cited 51.2% industry average).
