What is a trademark?
A trademark is a brand name. A trademark or service mark includes any word, name, symbol, device, or any combination, used or intended to be used to identify and distinguish the goods/services of one seller or provider from those of others, and to indicate the source of the goods / services.
Trademark registration in the USA:
Trademark registration in the USA is done through The United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) is a fee-funded agency of the U.S. Department of Commerce. It is represented as a word, phrase or logo that signifies the supply of goods and services. USA law of trademark is governed by the Lanham Act. Trademarks in the USA are administered by both state and federal law.
Basis for Trademark registration in the USA:
A “filing basis” is the basis in the Trademark Act upon which you have filed your trademark or service mark application with the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO). You must include one or more filing bases in an application. Each “filing basis ” has different requirements that must be met before a trademark or service-mark may proceed toward registration.
In your application, you may select from following four possible basis:
- Use in commerce basis: You are currently using your mark in commerce with your goods and/or services.
- Intent-to-use basis: You have a bona fide intention to use your mark in commerce with your goods and/or services in the near future.
- Foreign registration basis: You own a foreign registration of the same mark for the same goods and/or services from your country of origin.
- Foreign application basis: You own an earlier-filed foreign application that was filed within six months of your U.S. application for the same mark and the same goods and/or services. This basis is also called a “foreign priority basis” because you are requesting a “priority” filing date for your U.S. application that is the same date as that of the foreign application filing date.
