Trademark searches & registrability
A registered trademark legally protects a name, logo, slogan, or qualifying domain name used to identify a business or product. Registration depends on the mark meeting the applicable requirements, including avoiding a likelihood of confusion with other marks.
The Law Offices of Todd Wengrovsky offers the service of a trademark search along with an analysis as to the "registerability" of your mark.
Use-based and intent-to-use applications
If you are already using your mark in commerce, the Law Offices of Todd Wengrovsky can file a use-based U.S. trademark application. If use has not yet begun, the firm can assist with an intent-to-use application when the legal requirements are met.
Your application may remain pending for several months. You can use “TM” in connection with your mark to claim trademark rights while an application is pending. If the mark is approved for publication, it is published for opposition, generally for a 30-day period, giving parties who object an opportunity to oppose registration before the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office.
Intent-to-use timing
After the USPTO issues a Notice of Allowance, you have six months to file a Statement of Use or request an extension. The applicable deadlines and qualifying use requirements should be reviewed for your application.
USPTO intent-to-use requirements ↗Registration, renewal & enforcement
Once your mark is registered, you can use “®” in connection with that registered trademark. Registration may be renewed indefinitely in ten-year terms when the applicable use, maintenance, and renewal requirements are met. If you believe your mark is being infringed, the Law Offices of Todd Wengrovsky can assist you in enforcing your registration.
