1. What can be trademarked?

– Logos, brand names, slogans, sounds, colors, and even packaging shapes (if distinctive).
– Generic terms (e.g., “Bakery” for a bakery) or descriptive phrases (e.g., “Fast Delivery”).

2. How long does trademark protection last?

  • 10 years (in most countries), renewable indefinitely if fees are paid and the mark is in use.
  • US requirement: File a Section 8 Affidavit (proof of use) between the 5th & 6th year.

3. What’s the difference between ™ and ®?

  • ™ = Unregistered trademark (used anytime).
  • ® = Officially registered (legal protection; illegal to use without registration).

4. Can I trademark a name globally?

No—trademarks are territorial. Options:

  • File individually in each country.
  • Use the Madrid System (1 application for 130+ countries).

5. How much does trademark registration cost?

  • USA (USPTO): $250–$350 per class (TEAS Standard).
  • EU (EUIPO): €850 for 1 class, +€50/additional class.
  • India: ~₹4,500–₹10,000 per class.

6. What happens if someone copies my trademark?

You can:

  • Send a cease-and-desist letter.
  • Sue for infringement (damages + injunction).
  • Report to customs (to block counterfeit imports).

7. Can I trademark a hashtag or domain name?

– Yes, if it functions as a brand identifier (e.g., #JustDoIt for Nike).
– No, if it’s generic (e.g., #BuyShoes).

8. What’s a “specimen of use”?

Proof your mark is used in commerce, like:

  • Product tags/labels.
  • Website screenshots (must show sales, not just ads).

9. What if my trademark application is rejected?

Options:

  • Respond to the office action (e.g., argue distinctiveness).
  • Amend the application (narrow goods/services).
  • Appeal (e.g., to TTAB in the US).

10. Do I need a lawyer to file a trademark?

  • Not always, but recommended for:
  • Complex cases (likelihood of confusion).
  • Foreign filings (e.g., USPTO requires a U.S. attorney for non-U.S. applicants).
