Trademark registration in the USA

Registering a trademark in the USA is a crucial step in protecting the name, logo or other sign your business uses for its goods or services. Before filing, check that the sign is sufficiently distinctive and does not infringe the rights of earlier owners.

On the US market, the key considerations are the USPTO, proof of use, office actions and a precise identification of goods and services. A carefully prepared application lowers the risk of oppositions, office actions or a later limitation of protection.

The first practical step is a search, which reveals whether similar or identical signs already exist. A search is not always mandatory, but it often determines whether the application is filed as it stands, the artwork is adjusted, the list of goods and services is changed or a more cautious strategy is chosen.

The second step is selecting the goods and services. A trademark does not protect a sign in general, only in specific areas of business, so the classes must be chosen and worded so that protection matches both current and planned use of the brand.

Once the application is filed, it is examined and published. At this stage the office may ask for additional information, or the owner of an earlier mark may file an opposition. Office requests and oppositions must be answered promptly and to the point; otherwise registration may be refused or restricted.

Príprava žiadosti a podanie prihlášky. Prihláška ochrannej známky je podaná na Úrade priemyselného vlastníctva, ktorý vykoná formálny prieskum. Musí sa skontrolovať všetky zákonné záležitosti, ktoré sa týkajú prihlášky k ochrannej známke. Musí sa preveriť, či je prihláška spôsobila na zápis. Ak nie je, tak problém môže byť v týchto kritériách: • Označenie je zhodné s inou skôr zapísanou ochrannou známkou • Druhové alebo opisné označenie • Klamlivé označenie
Taktiež sa pri tomto prihlásení uhrádza správny poplatok u príslušného úradu.
Po podaní prihlášky a zaplatení poplatku príslušný úrad (napr. slovenský ÚPV, európsky OHIM, alebo americký USPTO) zverejní prihlášku vo vestníku ochranných známok, aby všetci majitelia skorších ochranných známok mali možnosť podať námietky voči registrácii ochrannej známky z dôvodu zhodnosti alebo podobnosti.
Majitelia skorších ochranných známok možu podať námietky voči registrácii ochrannej známky z dôvodu zhodnosti alebo podobnosti. Preto je potrebný následný dohľad nad žiadosťou počas celého trvania overovacieho procesu na príslušnom úrade, odpovede na prípadné námientky od majiteľov podobných alebo zhodných ochranných známok a koordinácia s overovateľmi na zaistenia presného a včasného overenia a spracovania vašej žiadosti
Ak voči ochrannej známke nie sú podané žiadne námietky, tak príslušný úrad (napr. slovenský ÚPV, európsky OHIM, alebo americký USPTO) zapíše ochrannú známku do registra ochranných známok a jej účinnosť začína spätne ku dnu podania prihlášky.
