Superior Trademarks

Frequently no, as it could lead to misunderstanding. However, it might be possible if the other mark is utilised for distinct goods or services because customers might not be perplexed about who offers what.

Yes. Yes. One trademark—a name, a logo, or a slogan—is permitted by the USPTO per application.

The Trademark Registry contains 45 classes in which to group products and services. Each class contains a long list of products and services, so you must specify the class(es) on your trademark application based on what you are selling. Only those classes would be used to register and protect the trademark.

If your trademark comprises geographical names, common terms, would offend religious sensibilities, or is identical to an application already in existence. If it is likely to confuse, it would also be rejected.

You can use the TM symbol as soon as you submit the application and get an acknowledgement. After completing the registration process, you can use the ® sign.

You're still in luck even if your brand name has already been registered, only in a different class. Your application is probably going to be accepted unless the brand is too well-known like Starbucks & Nike.

The word is not available to you, yet all is not lost. Instead, you might create a distinctive logo for your company and include the name into it. There is therefore a solution, but it is ideal to have a distinctive name.

It is fully up to the government's discretion. However, there is a good chance that it will be approved if it is special.

The USPTO estimates that the approval process for a trademark application can take between 12-18 months from the date it is filed until it has been approved. Superior Trademarks guarantees that your trademark application will be filed with the USPTO within a week of your application being filed out.

If your application is rejected or the fee is paid mistakenly you can contact your agent.

Yes. A change of purpose after the payment of a fee, such as when a party desires to withdraw a trademark application, appeal, or another trademark filing for which a fee was paid, will be handled by the allotted agent. The refund procedure will be manual.

The party paying a fee or requesting a refund must provide the banking information necessary for making refunds, or instruct the Office that refunds are to be credited to a deposit account. In that case, the agent may require such information, or use the banking information on the payment instrument to make a refund.
