Trademark FAQs - related questions & answers

Question: How do I find out whether the mark I’ve chosen is already registered?

Answer:
It is strongly suggested that you search federally registered trademarks and service marks, since a federally registered mark generally preempts a state issued registration.

Question: Can a minor file a trademark application?

Answer:
This depends upon state law. If the person can validly enter into binding legal obligations in the state, then that person may sign a trademark application. Otherwise, a parent or legal guardian must sign the application, clearly setting forth their status as a parent or legal guardian of the applicant

Question: Is it possible to obtain a trademark registration covering more than one country?

Answer:
Several international agreements coordinate the procedure of filing applications for trademark registration in more than one country. A European Community Trade Mark protects a trademark in all of the member countries of the European Union.
