Frequently asked questions

  • Should I file now or wait until launch?
    That depends on your business timeline, filing basis, and whether acceptable use materials already exist.
  • What counts as a good specimen?
    A specimen must show real trademark use in commerce, not just advertising.
  • Can I file in the U.S. based on a foreign registration?
    Often yes, but strategy still depends on ownership, translation issues, and long-term use considerations.
  • What if I already received an office action?
    We can review the refusal and help determine the most efficient response path.
