Mark My Words (and Logos).
Can you actually register that fantastic name, logo or slogan that represents a valuable product or service as a trademark and prevent other companies from using that same name, logo or slogan?
Is your mark qualified for federal registration or will the US Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) deny your application?
Whether a mark is qualified for federal registration depends upon the following factors:
- The USPTO must consider your mark to be distinctive.
- The mark cannot legally conflict with another mark.
- The mark has to be in actual use.
- The mark’s use must be subject to Congressional regulation.
- The mark cannot be scandalous, immoral or deceptive.
If you want to find out more about these five factors, please fill out our contact form and we will email you a pamphlet that explains in more detail the qualifications for obtaining a federally registered trademark.
