Get your trademark registered in 3 simple steps:
Spend a couple of minutes filling out a simple questionnaire. This will initiate your registration process for the copyright or trademark.
Here, we perform a thorough search through our database to check whether the trademark is already in use so we can officially complete your registration.
Finally, we register your trademark application with the USPTO and your copyright application with the U.S. Copyright Office.
Intent to Use Trademark (ITU) trademarks signify that a company intends to use trademarks before actually putting them to use. The company will then have to put their trademark into actual use within 6 months of the Notice of Allowance. The benefit of the ITU is that the date of filing the application serves as the first date you used your trademark. Also, the company filing the ITU application isn’t required to have a specimen at the time of filing, but should add one in the subsequent state of use.
Get a TrademarkAmong the main reasons that companies choose to file an intent to use trademark application is because they would like to register their mark before their competitors. Once their application is submitted, they will have their application approved by the USPTO before the ones that were filed later. To avoid trademark rejection, you should consider in-depth and personalized services offered by Trademark Regant. Our expertise in comprehensive trademark search will help you make a good design about your trademark application and the viability of your name in the industry.
If you haven’t used you trademark in the sales of goods or services, then an ITU application will offer significant benefits for your brand. By applying for an Intent to Use trademark, you will have an earlier filing date than your competitors even though you may have not launched your product or made any sales.
If your trademark is already being used by a company, then we wouldn’t recommend filing an ITU trademark application. Instead, you should try filing an Actual Use Application instead. Also, if you aren’t a 100% sure about wanting to use a mark, then again, we wouldn’t recommend filing an application.
Realistically, it takes anywhere around 12-weeks from the day you submitted your Statement of Use or Amendment to Allege Use.
Anybody that is introducing a new brand identity, or is planning on offering newly branded services or products, should take the necessary steps to protect their trademark.
The answer to this question will differ from agency to agency and based on staffing changes and enhanced technologies at the US Patent & Trademark Office. If you’re asking us specifically, you can count on the entire application process to take from 9-to-12 months.
It can take up to 10 years. Also, the registration can easily be renewed so long as you have made sure to maintain an uninterrupted use of your trademark in interstate commerce.
