Trademark FAQs - related questions & answers

Question: If I do not have examples of my mark as of yet, may I still submit my application?

Answer:
No. The mark must be in use before a trademark or service mark application can be submitted. Two working examples of the mark must be submitted with the application.

Question: What is the trademark owner's perspective on the treaty?

Answer:
The TLT saves time and money in the preparation and filing of documents for the application. It streamlines the process for post-registration renewals, recording assignments, changes of name and address, and powers of attorney.

Question: If an applicant submits a specimen, is a drawing still required?

Answer:
Yes. A drawing is required in all applications, and is used by the Office for several purposes, including printing the mark in the Official Gazette, and on the registration certificate.
