Q. Do I need to trademark my brand and logo

June 10, 2022

A: The short answer is you may be able to register either or both. If you are considering registering though, you really should take the time to consult with a trademark attorney. Clothing is a very competitive class to get your mark registered in and the assistance of an attorney, along with a comprehensive clearance search, would likely save you time and resources during the registration process.

Q. Hello, I have a trademark NOA for a dating service that is free. Can I file statement of use without making sales?

June 9, 2022

A: Sales are not necessarily required, but you will have to show the mark being used in commerce in the statement of use. I would consult with an attorney in an effort to make it a smooth process.
