How the domicile address requirement advances our trademark anti-fraud efforts

Guest blog by Dave Gooder, Commissioner for Trademarks

Director Kathi Vidal and Commissioner for Trademarks Dave Gooder speak to stakeholders at the International Trademark Association meeting

We recently issued an examination guide to clarify the steps examining attorneys must take to evaluate the validity of a trademark applicant’s “domicile” as included in their application. This requirement is also a key part of our comprehensive effort to fight trademark filing fraud. In this blog, we offer a little more about what it is, why it’s so important, and what you can do to help.
