Trademark FAQs - related questions & answers

Question: What should I look for while searching for a logo?

Answer:
If your mark incorporates a design or logo you must search for trademarks that might be confusingly similar. Use the index in the back of the Design Code Manual to locate the appropriate six-digit code.

Question: When is it proper to use the federal registration symbol?

Answer:
The federal registration symbol may be used once the mark is actually registered in the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office. Even though an application is pending.

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.
