What Are the Requirements for Applying for a Federal Certificate of Trademark?
A trademark application must be filed, together with the required filing fee, and a drawing meeting the requirements of the Patent and Trademark Office. If the trademark is already being used to identify goods or services being sold, a specimen such as a label or tag showing how the trademark is used must also be submitted. If the trademark is not currently being used, the applicant must verify that he has an intent to use the trademark in the future.
