Trademark Forms
Trademark/Servicemark Application, Principal Register
Use this form to file an initial application for either a TRADEMARK for "goods" AND/OR a SERVICEMARK for "providing services" -- this form is appropriate for both, and you will not actually specify the "type" of mark when filing. However, wording used only in the manner of a "trade name" is not registrable, unless it also functions as a trademark or servicemark. NOTE: If you file this application based only on an intent to use the mark in commerce in the future, rather than actual use in commerce now, you must later file a second form (and additional fee) to establish use before we can register the mark, even if the mark has otherwise been approved based on the information in the original Trademark/Servicemark application. See listings under "File a PRE-registration Form" category on the TEAS front page.
Trademark/Servicemark Application, Supplemental Register
Use this form to file an initial application for a trademark/servicemark on the Supplemental Register, rather than the Principal Register. Almost all marks are filed directly on the Principal Register. However, certain marks that are not eligible for registration on the Principal Register, but which are capable of distinguishing an applicant's goods or services, may be registered on the Supplemental Register. If you file on the Principal Register, but are only eligible for the Supplemental Register, you will be permitted to amend the application to change registers during the prosecution of the application.
Certification Mark Application, Principal Register
Use this form to file an initial application for a Certification mark (used or intended to be used by authorized persons on designated goods and/or services to certify something; e.g., a particular regional origin of the goods; a characteristic of the goods or services; or that labor was performed by a particular group). A copy of standards that the applicant uses or will use to determine whether the goods and/or services will be certified must be submitted.
Collective Membership Mark Application, Principal Register
Use this form to file an initial application for a collective membership mark (used to indicate membership in a specific organization; e.g., a social club or labor union). The applicant must control, or will intend to control, use of the mark by its members by a specified method of control.
Collective Trademark/Servicemark Application, Principal Register
Use this form to file an initial application for a collective trademark/servicemark. The applicant must control, or will intend to control, use of the mark by its members by a specified method of control.
