Why should I register my trademark?
A trademark owner in the U.S. may receive limited protection just for using their mark in commerce. However, there are many benefits to registering with the USPTO, including:
Nationwide Enforcement. Without a USPTO registration, trademark rights may only be enforceable in a certain geographic area. Registration of your trademark with the USPTO enables the mark to be enforceable throughout the U.S.
Public Notice of Ownership of the Mark. Registration of your trademark with the USPTO establishes a public record to place others on notice that you are the owner.
Right to Use ®. You can only use the ® symbol if you have a registered trademark with the USPTO.
Why should I work with an attorney to register my trademark instead of doing it myself?
No muss, no fuss. Our music attorneys have experience registering music-related trademarks with the USPTO. Rather than trying to figure out how to register alone, let us help you navigate the registration process.
Receive valuable advice to help ensure best protection. There are many important legal implications to consider when preparing a trademark application. Our music attorneys can guide you through the application to help ensure your trademark is best protected.
In what circumstances would I need a statement of use and/or extension request?
An initial trademark application can typically be filed “in use” or as an “intent to use”. If you are not yet using a mark in commerce but have a bona fide intent to do so, an “intent to use” application may be submitted. Following submission of the intent to use application and notice from the USPTO that the mark is allowed to be registered, there will be additional filings to show that the mark is being used in commerce. These additional filings are typically a statement of use and/or extension requests (if needed). One of our experienced music attorneys would discuss the different types of applications and their advantages, the legal implications, and total filing fees for any required additional filings during the initial discussion meeting.
