Trademark/Servicemark Application, Principal
Register
Use this
form to file an initial application to register a TRADEMARK for
"goods" and/or a SERVICEMARK for "providing services" (note that
this form is appropriate for either, and that you will not actually
specify the "type" of mark when filing). Only one mark is
permissible per application, although a mark may consist of several
elements that are joined to form a composite whole (e.g.,
words plus a design).
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 another 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 the overall category "INTENT-TO-USE (ITU)
FORMS" on the TEAS front page.
FEES: The filing fee for the application is based on the
following:
1. Number of classes of goods and/or services in the application.
I.e., if an application is for one mark, but the mark is
used on goods and/or services in two different classes,
e.g., computer software in Class 9 and t-shirts in Class 25,
then payment for two classes is required before the application
could be approved.
2. Version of the form being used, i.e., either the "TEAS
Plus" form or the "regular TEAS" form" The application filing fee
for the TEAS form is $325 per class of goods and/or services, while
the TEAS Plus is $275 per class, but has stricter filing
requirements, than the regular TEAS form. Clicking on the
"Trademark/Servicemark Application, Principal Register" link above
will take you to the page offering the two form versions, with more
detailed instructions as to which version of the form may be most
appropriate for your specific filing.
WARNING: The filing fee is a processing fee that the USPTO
will NOT refund, even if the USPTO does not ultimately issue
you a registration for your mark. Because approval is based on a
legal determination by an examining attorney and is NOT
automatic, please take all necessary steps to ensure your mark is
registrable before filing an application.
