The main reasons why U.S. trademarks are rejected are as follows. Just take the right medicine and pay attention to every detail, and you will be fine!

(1) Sppecimen Refusal - Mockup (sample photo - physical model)

We must pay attention to the sample photo, and we must ensure that the trademark is in use and authentic! This is the reason why the US Trademark Office has the highest trademark rejection rate.

(2) Trademark translation and meaning (Requirement for Translation)

If the translation is in non-English, an English translation is required, so it is best that all descriptions and logos are in English

Note: The translation was rejected, and a supplement of US$125

(3) Appearance description (Requirement for Amendment to the Mark Description Statement)

Trademark logo is in design Remember to use some creative and unusual combinations of English letters, and try to be as detailed and accurate as possible when describing!

(4) Disclaimer - (lack of distinctiveness)

Note: A declaration of disclaimer of exclusive rights is required (the trademark content can be retained, but no exclusive rights are enjoyed) )

Make a Disclaimer in advance, and do not include words that lack distinctiveness in the trademark

(5) Trademark similarity (Likelihood)

Explanation is not similar, there is Distinguish between them and convince the examiner;

For partially conflicting trademarks, discard small items to protect the overall situation;

Do a good job of prior research to avoid similarities.

(6) Others

1. Suspected (name of person, place, organization, country, etc.)

2. Require all samples - reminder: be pragmatic ! ! , don’t be greedy for small items, and have enough samples

If you can do the above 6 points well, you can greatly increase the passing rate of U.S. trademark applications!
