Definite SCAM
Just like the other bad reviews state, this is a scam. They take your money and then claim office actions or other nonsense filings are the cause of the price increase.
You would be far better off to consult an actual attorney and get proper advice for far less. Simple TM's turn into endless expenses and you also risk ruining your chance at the actual TM you applied for.
Again you are not even represented by an attorney. Utterly Pointless TM lookup service posing as a TM filing assistance.
User's recommendation: Avoid at all costs definite scam that could hurt your chances for a TM
Harassment
Total scam by the self-claimed "leader in trademark registration."
Preferred solution: Stop sending me spam.
User's recommendation: Stay away!

Verified BuyerPaid almost $1,000 and still no trademark
A La Carte Word Trademark Filing Service - FVCproductions: $69
A La Carte Logo Trademark Filing Service: $199
Trademark Filing Government Fee in The United States x 2: $279
Total Cost? $818.
And now they want another $279 for each.
24 emails later (most of them that want me to just pay more) and I still don't have my logo or word trademarks registered.
Seriously though, if you want to register a trademark, hire an actual attorney and ideally pay a lot less than I did with real results.

Scam!
Avoid at all costs! Biggest *** out there.
You pay intial fees and then when you think you are ready to have trademark filed, they hit you with all these extra fees.
Why not disclose all thesw fees prior and have them all paid upfront? Refuse to give refunds as well.
- Too much money wasted
- Many hidden costs
- Did not end up getting what i wanted
Preferred solution: Full refund
No refund :(
I submitted my application and initial payment and then realized there were so many charges I had not foreseen. I asked for a refund less than 24 hours afterwards and they refused saying they had already started the process.
Horrible experience. Do not use or make sure you spend A LOT of time reading the small print first.
Lesson learnt. :(

Dont Use Trademarkia. Scam!!
Please, if you don't have money to waste, don't use Trademarkia to file for your trademark. They will continue charging you hidden fees until you are broke.
Don't expect a refund as well. I wish I made my research before losing my $400.00. I filed for my trademark a month ago, I was not informed about any hidden charges. I paid both trademarkia and government fees upfront.
After a month they said that I need to pay a certain amount of money for government fees.
I accepted that they charge me the amount they requested, but later that same day, they said that the amount they requested earlier is not correct, and they doubled the amount. Just be careful folks.
A *** scam. PERIOD. Don't waste your money.
We were new business owners and so excited to find a place that would make the processing and trademark stuff easy on us. Little did we know we would be taken advantage of.
We paid the fees then started getting emails on how we can't be trademarked because another business(who had NOTHING to do with ours) had a similar name, then they told us we couldn't file because a company in brazil was selling similar services. We weren't applying for out side of the US, only in the US. They then told us we had to pay $649 to argue against some examiner in order to keep our trademark. And proceeded to tell us the chances were not good.
We asked for a refund and were denied.
So now we are out on hundreds of dollars. They are rude, incompetent and a rip off.

- Rude and unprofessional
- Scam
Stay clear of this rip off
Yes, everything I'm reading here is true. All they do is try to up-sell you at every turn... and then take money from you with no clear reason for each batch of money they request.
This is a clear scam. See BBB.
Beware... do not use this company
These are not lawyers, and they know very little about the laws around Trademarks. They just plug you into their system and keep asking questions so they can up-sell you.
What else can I say... you'll also find, not one person that works there has a name you recognize as someone that is from this country. I think it's an off shore company that found a way to make themselves look legit. THEY ARE NOT
Preferred solution: Full refund
FAIL 100% SCAM

Verified ReviewerSCAM | Trademarkia: This has been the most unethical
This has been the most unethical American experience to date and wish I had checked posts like this: http://everythingtrademarks.com/2013/11/20/trademarkia/ The process started out with several "attorneys" writing emails to me, pitching different classes and what not, pushing the delivery date a few more days for extra checks then giving the green light for the registration and then having another "attorney" invalidating everything the 3 before him said, also refusing a refund even if this is a question I asked from the get go: how fast can I get reimbursed if this doesn't work? all of them avoided the question until they felt they had the justification for legal advice hours to cover the bill and deny the refund to money they did not earn.
The company has dozens of scam articles, just Google it.
Stay away from it since it costs quite a bit to trust them. Most likely the comments posted with 4-5 star review are fake, bought on Mechanical Turk, self promoting mechanism to burry the truthful reviews.
- So called service and the scam part
Preferred solution: Full refund
Not a trusted company.
I ordered trademark filing services with them. The next day they emailed back and wanted me to upgrade my plan to the GOLD VIP level.
Realizing my fees to the company had just begun, I decided to cancel the service after three business days. My refund has been denied with this company.
NOT A TRUSTED COMPANY…..BEWARE!!!! {{Redacted}}
Preferred solution: Full refund
Not eligible for Trademarkia services. Billed anyway.
Not eligible for trademark submission? Billed $367.00 anyway?
Fraudulent. We filled out an online application to trademark a name. It has been used in the past for a movie and related graphics. We wished to trademark the name for products representing the original and the sequel.
We asked for protection in two categories, clothing and paper goods since commerce in these categories has occurred. Trademarkia informed us that our application is not eligible for their services because words, as in a name, cannot be trademarked. As a result of this limitation we cannot apply to the government for protection.
Their position is they cannot provide us with application services but they billed us anyway. Fraudulent practices.
TRADEMARKIA IS A SCAM!!
This company takes your private information and posts it all over the web. Although trademark information is public, the owner Raj Abhyanker is a complete opportunist and then tries to sell your company name and domain names all over the world!
It is immoral and should be illegal. He is a special kind of rotten. I and many others are trying to get the legislation fixed so that this practice will become illegal. Even after speaking with the California State Barr of Attorneys they did say that we have a legitimate reason to file a case and to file a complain against this individual and his company.
This is not how honorable attorneys operate! BEWARE!
Go through a separate trademark attorney that you trust with your ideas and name. STAY AWAY!

Dear customer, sorry for your inconvenience. But we would like to remind you that trademark filing process is very complicated and goes through various processes.
Your's or attorney's job is not complete after the initial filing process. If your application receives an office action from the USPTO (which 80% of all applications do) then your assigned US licensed attorney would resolve it for a fee ranging from $279 - $649.
Even after doing so, your mark is not guaranteed to pass. I hope this helps.
