FAQ
Non-U.S. citizens can indeed register their trademarks in the United States, ensuring global brand protection. The USPTO allows international applicants to secure their trademarks by demonstrating usage or intent to use in U.S. commerce.
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.
Patent application forms can be found on the USPTO website. All of the forms related to patent applications can be found on the link here, or by navigating to the USPTO website and clicking on the “Forms” link under the “Apply for a Patent” section on the “Patents” page.
With trademarks, the entire process can be completed online pretty easily, even if you do it yourself without hiring an attorney.
As long as your trademark's distinctiveness identifies your product and services, you may claim trademark rights for your unregistered trademark and stop others—even bigger companies—from using your mark, but only in your geographic area. Unregistered trademarks may be protected by federal trademark laws.
A patent application often includes the following primary sections: Invention Title. The title's objective is to provide a clear understanding of the invention or idea. Prior Art: Context and Novelty. Invention Summary. Drawings and Descriptions. Detailed Description. Claims. Scope. Characteristics.
– a description and a claim or claims; – drawings, when necessary; – an oath or declaration; and – prescribed filing, search, and examination fees. The title should be as specific as possible in describing the invention.
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.
The five primary requirements for patentability are: (1) patentable subject matter; (2) utility; (3) novelty; (4) non-obviousness; and (5) enablement. Like trademarks, patents are territorial, meaning they are enforceable in a specific geographic area.
The specification should be in conformity with the requirements of the Patents Act 1992 and Patents Rules 1992, typed or printed on single sided A4 pages with margins of 2 to 3 centimeters. These margins should be blank, and each page should be numbered. Two copies of the specification must be submitted.
