Understanding the Requirements for Filing a Section 1(b) Trademark Application

If you are seeking to register a trademark or service mark with the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO), you may be able to file an application under section 1(b) of the Trademark Act. This section allows you to file an application on the basis of your intention to use the mark in commerce for the identified goods or services. However, before your registration will be granted, you must be able to demonstrate that the mark is actually being used in commerce on or in connection with the goods or services specified in your application. This means that you will need to file either an amendment to allege use under 15 U.S.C. section 1051(c) or a statement of use under 15 U.S.C. section 1051(d). Both of these documents must include dates of use for each class, as well as a specimen evidencing such use for each class. It's worth noting that the requirements for registering a collective trademark, collective service mark, collective membership mark, or certification mark may be slightly different. If you are seeking to register one of these types of marks, you should refer to the relevant sections of the Trademark Electronic Processing Manual (TMEP) for guidance. In summary, if you want to register a trademark or service mark with the USPTO, you must be able to demonstrate that you have a bona fide intention to use the mark in commerce, and that the mark is actually being used in commerce on or in connection with the identified goods or services. Filing an amendment to allege use or a statement of use, along with the required specimens, is an important step in the process.  Talk with a trademark attorney at Tucker Law [...]

Understanding the Three Steps of Conducting a Thorough Patent Search

The examiner of a patent application is required to perform a thorough search of the prior art, whereas a patent attorney is not required to perform a search. Finding the search field, choosing the right search tools, and figuring out the best search technique for each tool are the three key elements in this procedure. Domestic patents (including publications of patent applications), international patent documents, and nonpatent literature must all be included in the search box (NPL). No source may be excluded from the search unless the examiner has a good basis to do so and has no reason to believe that there will be further relevant references in that source. Both the claimed subject matter and any aspects that might be logically anticipated to be claimed should be included in the search. The examiner must take into account the coverage, strengths, and weaknesses of the available search tools appropriate for their chosen field while deciding which search tools to utilize. Each examiner's unique demands will determine the search techniques they use, with examiners in highly busy, high-technology fields—where patent documentation might not keep up with invention—getting special consideration. To ensure a thorough search under these circumstances, NPL and specific search tools may be required. Automated search solutions frequently include both text and categorized search functionality, with a combination of both being required in the majority of technologies. However, it can be difficult to effectively explain search demands in textual words, particularly in mechanical arts. In certain situations, it could be essential to use broader text terms or to browse all patent documents inside one or more classifications. Each case must be evaluated individually to establish the best search method for the tool(s) used, with [...]
