Additional Notes:

Choosing the name Virtual Mastectomy for a brand in the apparel industry, especially under trademark class 25, signifies a bold and compassionate move towards inclusivity and support for individuals who have undergone mastectomies. This name is not just a label; it represents a profound understanding of the journey individuals face during and after their battle with breast cancer. The name immediately communicates a sense of purpose behind the brand, which is to offer clothing options that cater specifically to the needs of mastectomy patients, providing comfort, confidence, and style.

Virtual Mastectomy as a business name does several important things. Firstly, it directly addresses a specific audience, offering a clear indication of the brand’s mission and the community it aims to serve. This straightforward approach is valuable in creating an immediate connection with individuals looking for post-surgery apparel solutions that understand their unique requirements.

Secondly, the inclusion of ‘Virtual’ suggests an innovative approach to traditional mastectomy wear. It implies the use of modern technology not only in the design and manufacture of the clothing but also in how customers can access and purchase these products. The matching domain name, VirtualMastectomy.com, reinforces this idea, indicating an online platform where customers can find and buy apparel that meets their needs in a way that is both accessible and discreet.

The term ‘Mastectomy’ in the brand name is both brave and revolutionary. Traditionally, post-surgery apparel has been marketed in a way that skirts around the term, often using euphemisms or generic phrases like ‘post-surgical wear’. By using the term openly, the brand challenges societal taboos and fosters a more open dialogue about breast cancer and recovery. It’s a step towards normalizing discussions around the disease and its aftermath, offering support and visibility to those who have experienced it.

Furthermore, the name suggests a specialization that might set the brand apart in a crowded market. Apparel designed for mastectomy patients requires specific features for comfort, such as soft fabrics, internal pockets for prostheses, and designs that accommodate scars. By focusing on this niche, Virtual Mastectomy positions itself as an expert in the field, potentially building trust and loyalty with its target audience.

In essence, Virtual Mastectomy is more than a brand name; it’s a statement of support and solidarity with breast cancer survivors. It reflects a commitment to inclusivity, understanding, and innovation in apparel design. For individuals seeking clothing post-mastectomy, this brand could represent a beacon of hope and a source of empowerment, offering them a way to embrace their bodies and their journey with confidence.

Because it’s a fully registered trademark on the Principal Register, you’ll get instant Amazon Brand Registry access without having to worry about Amazon revoking your Brand Registry access later on because of a refusal by the USPTO.

We accept credit/debit card, PayPal, several regional payment processors, and buy-now-pay-later (BNPL) providers like Affirm, Afterpay, and Klarna, depending on the trademark's value and your location. For larger purchases (roughly $10,000 or more), we also accept bank transfer if you reach out to us and let us know you'd like to pay that way.

Yes, you can pay in installments! Just add a trademark to your cart and begin the checkout process. Once you've started the checkout process, you can choose to pay in installments using PayPal, Google Pay, Afterpay, or Klarna. We are not yet able to offer Affirm because Affirm considers Communer a "B2B" business type, which Affirm does not currently support.

Any payment option available to you will be visible on the checkout page when you choose a payment method. If you don't see any of these options, then you or the product might not be eligible.

Most of our buyers become the new legal owner of the trademark within three days of paying for it. Shortly after payment is made, Communer generates a trademark assignment agreement for e-signature by both the buyer and seller. When both parties e-sign, the buyer is now the legal owner of the trademark.

Once both parties e-sign the trademark transfer agreement, Communer's partner law firm, JPG Legal, will record the trademark assignment with the USPTO. The buyer does not pay an additional fee for this filing. The $100 cost for this (including $40 government fee) comes out of the sale price before sending the payout to the seller. Communer does not receive a portion from this amount; the whole $100 goes to legal fees.

This process does not change the legal owner, but it updates the ownership records in the public trademark database. The assignment recordation process usually takes about one week for the USPTO process, though it can take as long as a month or two if complications arise. Once the assignment recordation process is complete, the USPTO will update the listed owner in its TESS search engine and its TSDR trademark records shortly after.

No, Communer handles everything. Once both parties e-sign the trademark transfer agreement, Communer's partner law firm, JPG Legal, will record the trademark assignment with the USPTO.

Around half of Communer's buyers are Amazon sellers, so we make the Amazon Brand Registry process as quick and reliable as possible. Our buyers typically gain Amazon Brand Registry access within one week of paying for their trademark.

Once the buyer and seller both e-sign the trademark assignment agreement generated by Communer, the buyer can apply for Amazon Brand Registry using that trademark's registration number. Amazon will send a verification code to the seller, which the seller is then required to forward to the buyer in a timely manner as stated in the assignment agreements we generate.

As long as you apply for Amazon Brand Registry within two weeks of buying your trademark, the seller will not receive their money until you gain Amazon Brand Registry access. This ensures that the seller will do everything possible to give you access to Amazon Brand Registry as soon as possible.

Communer cannot control the actions of Amazon and thus we cannot guarantee that Amazon will grant the buyer Brand Registry access, but all trademarks we sell that are registered for physical goods (e.g. hats, drinkware, furniture, USB hubs) or retail store services should be eligible for Amazon Brand Registry as long as they're not on the Supplemental Register. Very few Communer trademarks are on the Supplemental Register (as of this writing, none are). When trademarks are on the Supplemental Register, we warn you of that in the listing.

If you buy a trademark that is on the Supplemental Register or is registered for services (e.g. management consulting, spa services, restaurant services), then you cannot get a refund or exchange simply because Amazon won't accept that trademark for Brand Registry. The exception is "retail store services" in class 35, which we know is eligible for Amazon Brand Registry access based on our data, at least as of now.

The vast majority of our trademark buyers are able to get Amazon Brand Registry without recording their trademark assignment with the USPTO. If for some reason you are unable to get Amazon Brand Registry at first, we recommend recording your trademark assignment with the USPTO, which we will give you details on how to do. The USPTO currently takes two business days to process an assignment recordation, plus about 3-7 calendar days to update the public database.

For buyers, Communer does not charge any additional fees beyond the purchase price.

For sellers, Communer charges a 15% commission from the sale price. Communer also deducts the payment processing fee for the purchase from the payout to the seller (typically about 3%, occasionally 5-6%).

The seller must also choose how they receive their payout, for which payment processing fees may apply as well. By default we send payouts by PayPal, but sellers can also ask to be paid by bank transfer (if in the US) or Payoneer.

Communer does not charge any upfront fees for sellers. Go here for more details about selling a trademark on Communer.
