How do I get a trademark?
Answered By Elsie Ivins, Editor
An application for federal trademark registration can be made if you have never used the mark in the United States. You will be filing the application before the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office. After filing the application, the office will be making a thorough search through the Trademark Electronic Search System (TESS) to determine if the mark that you wish to use is not yet registered to their database.
Once they have determined that the mark is not yet registered under any name institutions, you will be given now the right to use the mark only within the marketing influence only and not on the ownership rights of the product bearing the approved trademark.
Just like in patent application, there will be a federal trademark attorney that will review your application and issues the approval or rejecting your application. In case of the latter, you will be given enough time to re-appeal your application. Either it will be finally approved or be completely rejected lies on the hands of the trademark attorney.
