Experienced trademark professionals and US attorneys assist with preparing the application and submitting it to the USPTO.
A trademark is intellectual property used to identify and distinguish one party's goods or services from those of another.
It may consist of a word, symbol, phrase, design, or combination of these elements and helps consumers identify the source of an offering.
Trademark rights give the owner exclusive use in connection with the registered goods or services and help prevent confusing or deceptive use by others.
Registration is not mandatory to acquire every trademark right, but a USPTO registration provides additional benefits and protections. An applicant registers by submitting the appropriate US trademark application to the USPTO.
The USPTO is the federal agency responsible for trademark registration in the United States.
The Lanham Act, also called the Trademark Act of 1946 and codified in Title 15 of the United States Code, governs US trademark registration, use, and protection.
It establishes the commerce-use requirement and remedies available for infringement and dilution.
The USPTO uses the Nice Classification system, which contains 45 classes of goods and services.
| Category | Classes | Count |
|---|---|---|
| Goods | Classes 1 to 34 | 34 |
| Services | Classes 35 to 45 | 11 |
The applicant must identify every class covering the relevant goods or services. A separate application and filing fee is required for each class in which registration is sought.
A word, phrase, symbol, or design registered in plain text without a particular font, style, or colour.
A trademark containing a specific logo or design registered with its visual elements.
A mark registered by a group or organisation and used by its members to show association or membership.
A mark used to certify the quality, characteristics, origin, or standards of a product or service.
A specific sound or musical notation registered through a sound recording.
A moving image or animation registered through a video or animation file.
A US trademark registration is valid for 10 years from its registration date and can be renewed for successive 10-year periods while the mark remains in commercial use.
The owner must continue using the mark for the registered goods or services and submit renewal applications and fees to the USPTO on time.
The application states the proposed mark, related goods or services, and the owner's name and address.
For a mark already used in the USA, submit a photograph, label, or other representation showing its commercial use.
A non-US applicant appoints a US attorney and submits authority allowing the attorney to act before the USPTO.
An owner who previously applied for the mark in another jurisdiction may claim that application's priority.
If the mark is not yet used in US commerce, a Statement of Use must be filed within the applicable period after use begins.
Provide documentation when ownership of the trademark was assigned or transferred.
Search comprehensively to determine whether the proposed mark is available and does not conflict with existing rights.
Identify the Nice Classification classes containing the goods and services for which the mark will be used.
Prepare the application, pay the applicable registration cost, select the classes, and submit the required documents to the USPTO.
A non-US applicant must retain a US attorney to provide legal guidance and representation before the USPTO.
A USPTO examiner reviews the application for compliance and searches for conflicting marks. Objections or information requests must be answered.
An approved application is published in the USPTO Official Gazette so third parties can oppose registration. Any opposition must be addressed.
If no opposition is filed, or every opposition is resolved successfully, the USPTO registers the mark and issues the registration certificate.
Continue commercial use and submit required maintenance and renewal applications and fees within the prescribed periods.
