The first is Genericide, a term used when a brand name has become so widely used that it becomes synonymous with a general class of product or service, causing the trademark to lose its distinctiveness. For example, 'Band-Aid' often being used to refer to any adhesive bandage is an instance of genericide.
Likelihood of confusion is a common reason for refusal of a trademark application. The USPTO will review your application and compare your mark to any existing trademark applications or registered trademarks.
Definition of Trademark A trademark is used to identify goods made by a specific producer. Tom's distinctive logo would be one such example, but trademarks can also take the forms of phrases, words, or symbols. Distinctive sounds, scents, or even shapes and colors can also be registered as trademarks.
If a trademark misdescribes a quality, purpose, function, feature, characteristic, ingredient, or use of the goods or services, and the misrepresentation would be credible or plausible to consumer, the mark would be refused as deceptively misdescriptive.
Trademarks Online: Applications to file a Trademark or Service Mark registration can be submitted online through the California Secretary of State's bizfile California portal, in person at the Sacramento office, or through the mail.
Nowadays, nearly half (48.3%) of all trademark applications filed in the US with the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) are rejected.

Trademark applications can be filed online with the USPTO. The application must provide a description of the goods or services for which the trademark will be used and a specimen showing how the mark is used in commerce.
