Additional Notes:
Aperture is an exceptional name for a business focused on personal and professional coaching in the fields of career advancement, professional development, personal development, and community building. The term “aperture” is commonly associated with photography, where it refers to the opening in a camera lens that allows light to enter. This concept beautifully aligns with the idea of opening up new possibilities and letting in the light of knowledge, insight, and personal growth.
Choosing Aperture as a business name suggests a perspective that is both focused and expansive. It implies that the services offered will help clients gain clarity and insight into their goals, much like adjusting the aperture in a camera leads to a sharper image. It’s a name that evokes clarity, focus, and the ability to see opportunities that might otherwise remain hidden.
In the realm of coaching services, the name Aperture can symbolize the process of opening up one’s mind to new ideas and perspectives. It suggests that the business will help individuals broaden their horizons, whether they are looking to advance in their careers, improve their personal lives, or contribute to community building. The services provided, from life coaching to career coaching and beyond, are about helping clients see the bigger picture while guiding them toward specific, actionable goals.
Overall, Aperture is more than just a name; it’s a promise of clarity, focus, and expansive growth. It is ideal for a business that aims to shed light on clients’ pathways to success and personal fulfillment. This name will resonate with individuals looking for guidance and support in their professional and personal journeys.

What types of payment do you accept?
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.
Can I pay for a trademark in installments using a BNPL service like Affirm, Afterpay, or Klarna?
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.
How soon will I be the legal owner of the trademark after I pay for it?
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.
Does the buyer or seller need to file anything with the trademark office to make the trademark purchase official?
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. 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.
How fast can I get Amazon Brand Registry access if I buy a trademark on Communer?
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.
Do I need to renew my trademark after I buy it? When do I need to renew it? How?

How does Communer make money? Does the seller pay a commission? Are there any other fees for sellers?
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.
