The United States is a country that implements case law (that is, unwritten law), so court cases play a more important role in dealing with trademark disputes and the development of American trademark law.
Trademark registration in the United States adopts the principle of first use and then protection, and evidence of use will be required when submitting trademark applications.
Rights as a client
The applicant for American trademark registration can be a person who has used the trademark in American commerce, or a person who sincerely intends to use the trademark in American commerce.
Application process
The main process of trademark registration in the United States: the application stage (actual use application, when applying, submit photos of products printed with logo and screenshots of orders sold to the United States, and submit evidence of use without additional service charges; If the application is intended to be used and the use evidence is submitted within 6 months after authorization, a certain use evidence will be generated and the service fee will be paid)? → review stage (if the application meets the most basic formal requirements, the application will be assigned to an examiner, who will review whether the logo applied for registration complies with the law and conflicts with the registered trademark, and decide whether it can be registered)? → Announcement/Objection stage (the announcement period is 1 month. Anyone can object to the trademark application during the announcement period)? → Registration stage (if no objection is received within the trademark announcement period, the Trademark Office will approve the registration of American trademarks).
