When deciding whether to register your name and logo separately or together in a single application, it’s important to consider how you use them. If your name and logo are frequently used together as a single mark, you can file one application that covers both elements. However, if you plan to use them separately, filing separate applications would be advisable, as it provides stronger protection for each element individually. Keep in mind that filing separate applications involves additional costs, but it allows you to enforce your rights more broadly

You can register a trademark in multiple classes under a single application with the USPTO. There is no maximum limit to the number of classes you can include. However, you need to specify each class of goods or services that your mark will cover and pay a separate fee for each class you include in your application.

If your trademark is similar to another, it can potentially affect your registration due to the possibility of 'likelihood of confusion.' The USPTO examines your application to determine if there are any conflicting marks that could confuse consumers. They look at several factors, such as the similarity in sound, appearance, or meaning of the marks, as well as the commercial relationship between the goods or services associated with the marks. Even if the marks aren't identical, if they are similar enough that consumers might mistakenly believe they come from the same source, your application could be refused. To avoid such issues, it's essential to conduct a thorough trademark search before applying and consider how your mark might be perceived in relation to others already registered or pending in the USPTO's records

You can use the ™ symbol with your brand name as soon as you start using the mark in commerce, regardless of whether you have filed a trademark application with the USPTO. The ™ symbol indicates that you are claiming rights to the mark within your business sector. The ® symbol, on the other hand, can only be used after your trademark has been officially registered with the USPTO. Using the ® symbol before registration is illegal and can lead to legal consequences. The ® symbol signifies that your mark is federally registered, which can provide significant legal advantages, such as the ability to bring a lawsuit concerning the trademark in federal court and deterring others from using a similar mark.

Our trademark attorneys will provide video consultations to help ensure that the likelihood of opposition is minimized. However, if a challenge arises, our attorneys will mount a strong defense to address and overcome any objections.

In trademark registration with the USPTO (United States Patent and Trademark Office), classes refer to the categories that specify the type of goods or services associated with a trademark. The USPTO uses an international classification system known as the Nice Classification, which organizes goods and services into 45 different classes to simplify the trademark registration process. When filing a trademark application, you'll need to specify the classes that correspond to the goods or services for which you want to register your trademark. Each class requires a separate fee and examination. Our Attorneys can help you pick classes if you are unable to pick. This will be part of the registration. Our Attorneys will advise you to add or delete classes based on your business as well.
