What Is a US Trademark Application?

A U.S. trademark application is a formal request to register a trademark with the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO). The application identifies the mark, the applicant, the goods or services associated with the mark, and the legal basis for seeking registration.
Preparing the application requires careful attention to the filing basis, the identification and classification of goods or services, and any required drawings, specimens, or supporting information. The appropriate requirements depend on the circumstances of the application.
UIPatent helps businesses prepare and navigate U.S. trademark applications, from evaluating filing options and organizing application information to responding to USPTO examination matters and moving the application toward registration.

Choose the Right Filing Basis

US Trademark Application Process

A structured approach to preparing, filing, and navigating a U.S. trademark application through the USPTO.

01

Application Preparation

Review the trademark, applicant information, filing basis, and goods or services before preparing the application.

02

USPTO Filing

Prepare and submit the application through the USPTO's Trademark Center with the required information and filing fees.

03

USPTO Examination

An examining attorney reviews the application, including legal requirements and potential conflicts with existing trademarks.

04

Office Actions & Responses

If the USPTO raises objections or requirements, prepare and submit an appropriate response within the applicable deadline.

05

Publication & Opposition

If approved, the trademark is published in the Trademark Official Gazette, beginning a period during which third parties may oppose registration.

Registration & Maintenance

If the application proceeds successfully, registration follows; maintaining the registration requires additional filings at specified intervals.
