The IP firm built like a product team.
We pair USPTO-licensed attorneys with engineers and designers — because protecting modern brands requires more than a filing cabinet and a fax machine.
From a Brooklyn apartment to 8,400+ federal filings.
Founded in 2017 by an IP attorney and a former USPTO examiner, assiduous was built on a simple thesis: trademark filings are repeatable enough to be productized — and important enough to require human attorneys at every step.
Today we're a team of 42 — attorneys, paralegals, software engineers, and brand strategists — serving clients in all 50 states and 38 countries.
Five principles that shape every engagement
Attorney oversight, always
No paralegal-only filings. Every application is signed by a USPTO-registered attorney.
Flat fees, published openly
If our pricing isn't on the website, we wouldn't charge it. Government fees billed at cost.
Founder-friendly
We were a founder once. Plain-English updates and same-day responses.
Outcomes over hours
We're judged on registration rates, not hours billed.
Global from day one
Madrid Protocol coverage and a network of foreign agents in 130+ countries.
Education before sales
Free clearance reports, weekly newsletters, and open-source IP guides.
Attorneys who shipped product before they signed briefs.
Our partners include former USPTO examiners, in-house GCs from public tech companies, and academic IP scholars. We hire for both bar admission and shipping speed.

How we make decisions
Client over case
If a filing isn't right for the business, we say so — even if it costs us revenue.
Plain English
If a partner can't explain it to a 12-year-old, the email gets rewritten.
Document everything
Every action lives in your portal. No 'just trust us' moments.
Compound the team
We invest 8% of revenue in training and bar-admission sponsorship.
Trusted by founders, creators, and counsel

"I've worked with three IP firms in 15 years. assiduous is the first one that feels like a product company."
