1. Used applications
American trademarks applied in this way need to be accompanied by proof of use when applying. After the trademark is renewed for 5-6 years under the authorization of 10, the trademark applicant still needs to submit a declaration of use.
2. The country is registered.
The American trademark applied for in this way does not need to submit evidence of use when applying or authorizing, but only needs to be submitted by the trademark applicant 5-6 years after 10 authorization and renewal.
3. Intentional use
The American trademark applied in this way will receive an authorization notice after passing the examination and announcement, and the trademark applicant must submit the use evidence once within 6 months after receiving the notice, otherwise it will be regarded as giving up the application. In addition, the trademark applicant also needs to submit a declaration of use when 10 is renewed 5-6 years after the trademark is authorized.
Form of using evidence
1. For physical goods, it is generally enough to provide photos of products printed with LOGO. LOGO can be printed on packages, tags, labels, or directly on products. The rest, such as website pages, advertising posters, waybills, invoices and other materials, although unconvincing, can still be used as supporting evidence.
2. For the service, you can provide photos of the store, websites that can reflect the applied service items or related advertisements as evidence of use.
Matters needing attention when using evidence to submit
1.USPTO requires trademarks to be used on "all" products or services in principle, and the use evidence provided should also reflect the relevant contents, not other products and services that have not submitted applications. Generally speaking, it is enough to provide evidence of 2-3 products and services. If multiple categories are applied, the evidence provided should reflect the relevant products or services of each category.
2. The marks on the evidence shall be clear and true, and consistent with the trademarks submitted in the application. Evidences of obviously hasty production or obviously digital production are generally not accepted, such as printing LOGO on ordinary paper and posting it on products or packaging, or some product renderings and obvious composite photos. Pure letter trademarks can be slightly deformed if you choose to apply for no words. (The trademark without Chinese characters is a 4-character trademark, which is applied in the default font of the United States. In practical use, the application method that is still protected can be simply modified. )
