The Detkin Intellectual Property and Technology Legal Clinic provides two free-to-use trademark filing guides to entrepreneurs and creatives considering whether to file a federal trademark application with the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).
The first guide — Trademark Decision Tree Guide — provides information about whether filing a trademark application might be useful, as well as about various aspects of trademark filing.
The second guide — USPTO Application Guide — informs about the information needed to file and annotates a model trademark application.
After viewing both guides, if you feel that your trademark strategy is more complex than can be addressed by either guide, we recommend that you seek counsel. You may access the guides by clicking “I agree” below.
I understand that using the Trademark Decision Tree Guide and/or the USPTO Application Guide does not create an attorney-client relationship between the Detkin IP Clinic and me, and the content of these guides does not constitute legal advice. Click I Agree below to continue.
