TRADEMARK REGISTRATION IN THE US


TRADEMARK REGISTRATION IN THE US

 Trademark registration in the US can be sought for many reasons. Among others, for business expansion to the US. There are several filing bases for trademark application to be used in accordance with the condition of the mark.

The first one is Use in Commerce Basis. For the mark that has currently been used in the US, application could be filed on this basis with reference to the date it was first used in the US.

However, if the mark has not been used in the US, registration can be sought based on Intent to Use Basis. Registration of a mark could be sought by filing an application for the use of a mark, and after around a year, the documents proving the use of the mark.

Holder of trademark rights registered with the Directorate General of Intellectual Property in Indonesia may file application for registration of the mark in the US based on Foreign Registration Basis. Trademark certificate with the English translation is required for this registration.

If application for registration at the Directorate General of Intellectual Property in Indonesia has been filed, but the process has not been completed and a trademark certificate has not been obtained, then an application for registration of the mark in the US can be filed based on Foreign Application Basis. However, the date of filing at the Directorate General of Intellectual Property should not have exceeded 6 months.

Our Texas representative office can assist with trademark registration with the United States Patent Trademark Office (USPTO).
