Legal Services Agreement
THE PARTIES & EFFECTIVE DATE
This Agreement is made between Speedwell Law PLLC (“Attorney”) and You (“Client”) and is effective as of the latest date of signing by Client.
NATURE AND SCOPE OF SERVICES TO BE PROVIDED
The Legal Services to be provided by Attorney to Client are consultation time of up to thirty minutes regarding the proposed trademark, completion of a federal and common law trademark search, drafting of an opinion letter as to the registrability and availability of the proposed mark based on said search results, preparation of Client's trademark application, and if filed, tracking Client's trademark application and responding to nonsubstantive Office Actions issued by the USPTO which require thirty minutes of time or less to answer ("Legal Services"). All additional services are at an additional charge. Attorney will perform the Legal Services called for under this Agreement, keep Client informed of progress and developments, and respond promptly to Client’s inquiries and communications. Client will cooperate with Attorney, be available as requested, provide necessary declarations and files, promptly pay all fees and costs, and keep Attorney informed of Client’s whereabouts and current street address, telephone number(s), fax number, and e-mail address at all times. Client understands the Legal Services provided by Attorney do not guarantee registration of Client’s trademark. Client agrees that if the proposed trademark is registered Client is solely responsible for any future renewal deadlines and Attorney will not remind Client of said deadlines.

OF COUNSEL
Speedwell Law PLLC is affiliated with Matt Kulseth and Kulseth Law P.L.L.C. doing business as Mighty Marks, a Minnesota law firm (collectively “Kulseth”). Kulseth is Of Counsel to Speedwell Law PLLC. Speedwell Law PLLC and Kulseth Law P.L.L.C. work in close conjunction on all client trademark matters to provide counsel. Speedwell Law PLLC and Kulseth Law, P.L.L.C. split Legal Services fee 30/70. Kulseth Law P.L.L.C. and its attorney are located in Minnesota and licensed to practice law in Minnesota. Both Speedwell Law PLLC and Kulseth Law P.L.L.C. may represent clients before the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office in trademark matters. Speedwell Law PLLC has authorized Kulseth Law, P.L.L.C. to collect Client fees on its behalf.
FEE
The Flat Fee for the Legal Services agreed to by the Attorney and Clients is $1,495.00 USD (the “Flat Fee”). Attorney and Client may agree from time to time to change the default Flat Fee. Attorney may also offer a discount if it so chooses. The rules of professional conduct for attorneys in the state of Minnesota require that unearned client fees advanced by clients to attorneys must be kept in a separate “trust” account until the fees are earned and/or the representation is terminated by either party. However, clients may waive this requirement. Due to the small nature of the Flat Fee, as well as the administrative issues involved with moving the money between accounts, You hereby waive the requirement and allow the funds to be deposited in either Attorney or Kulseth Law P.L.L.C.’s operating account. By waiving this requirement the Flat Fee becomes the property of Attorney upon receipt. The Legal Services are completed and the Flat Fee is earned when Attorney provides the trademark search report and opinion letter to Client. At this time, based upon the findings of the opinion letter, Attorney may also send the completed trademark application to Client with filing instructions. Client may be entitled to partial refund if the Client terminates this agreement prior to the completion of Attorney completing the Legal Services.
COSTS AND/OR EXPENSES
US federal government application fees are in addition to the above stated legal fees. The US federal government application fee is either $250 or $350 per international class for trademark filings. Client is responsible for all such costs and/or expenses including any other filing fee costs such as allegations/statements of use, extensions, or petitions.
CONFLICTS CHECK
Representation by Attorney is contingent on Attorney and Kulseth Law P.L.L.C. performing a conflict check of Client. If Attorney’s search finds a conflict between an existing client of Attorney and Client’s trademark Attorney will notify Client, refund any funds paid to Attorney and decline to accept the representation.
WORK PRODUCT
The work product of Attorney including research, writings, memoranda, notes from conversations, and all other confidential material will be maintained in strict confidence under the provisions of the attorney-client privilege.
TERMINATION
As is appropriate in any professional relationship, Client may terminate this engagement at any time upon reasonable notice to Attorney, and Attorney retains the right to terminate this Agreement as well. In the event Client terminates this representation, Client agrees to pay all bills thereafter rendered covering expenses incurred prior to termination.
ENTIRE AGREEMENT / SEVERABILITY
This Agreement contains the entire agreement of the Parties. No other agreement, statement, or promise made on or before the effective date of this Agreement will be binding on the Parties. If a provision of this Agreement is held by a court or other tribunal of competent jurisdiction, in whole or in part, to be unenforceable for any reason, the remainder of that provision and of the entire Agreement will be severable and remain in effect.
MINNESOTA LAW APPLIES
Kulseth Law P.L.L.C. is licensed to practice law in Minnesota. This Agreement is subject to Minnesota law without regard to the application conflicts of laws. The sole place of venue for any dispute arising from this Agreement or the services provided hereunder shall be a court of competent jurisdiction in Hennepin County, Minnesota. Client waives the right to object to venue.
