Appropriate Specimens for Goods and/or Services: A trademark specimen should be a label, tag, or container for the goods, or a
display associated with the goods. See TMEP §§904.03 et seq. A service mark specimen should be an advertisement, sign, brochure, website printout or other image that shows the mark used in the actual
sale or advertising of the services. See TMEP §§1301.04 et seq. For an instructional video on what is an appropriate trademark or service mark specimen for a good and/or service, click here. |
Fraudulent statements may result in registration being cancelled: Applicants must ensure that statements made in filings to the
USPTO are accurate, as inaccuracies may result in the cancellation of any issued trademark registration. The lack of a bona fide intention to use the mark with ALL goods and/or services listed
in an application or the lack of actual use on all goods and/or services for which use is claimed could jeopardize the validity of the registration, possibly resulting in its
cancellation. |
