Federal (USPTO) — start here
A federal registration, filed once through the USPTO, gives nationwide rights that include New Hampshire. It’s the right starting point for almost any business selling across state lines, online, or planning to expand beyond New Hampshire.
New Hampshire state registration
New Hampshire’s state trademark register is run by the Secretary of State — Corporation Division. The published filing fee is $50, with registrations renewing every 10 years. It only protects a mark within New Hampshire’s borders, not nationwide — always confirm the current process and fee on the agency’s own page before filing.
When does a New Hampshire state trademark make sense?
- Your business genuinely operates only within New Hampshire — a local shop, restaurant or service business with no plans to sell out of state or online.
- You want fast, low-cost protection now while a federal intent-to-use application is still pending.
- You need to establish New Hampshire-specific priority for a name ahead of local competitors.
For most brands — especially anything sold online, as software, or shipped across state lines — federal registration is the stronger, more durable choice, and a New Hampshire filing (if used at all) is a complement to it rather than a substitute.
