Why Register Your Trademark in the USA?

The United States is the world's largest consumer market and the global hub for technology, e-commerce, and brand-building. A US trademark registration with the USPTO (United States Patent and Trademark Office) gives you: the exclusive right to use the mark in commerce throughout the USA; the right to use the ® symbol; the ability to block importation of infringing goods through US Customs (CBP); a basis for filing in other countries under the Paris Convention; and presumptive evidence of ownership in US federal court proceedings. Applications can be filed on a use-in-commerce basis (if already selling in the US) or on an intent-to-use basis (if planning to enter the US market). Foreign applicants must appoint a US-licensed attorney as their representative before the USPTO — we co-ordinate with our US counsel network.

Filing Bases for US Trademark

Use in Commerce (Section 1(a)):

For marks already being used in US commerce. Requires a specimen showing the mark in actual use on goods or in the rendering of services. Fastest path to registration.

Intent to Use (Section 1(b)):

For marks not yet used in the US. Reserves the mark while you prepare for US market entry. Statement of Use must be filed within 6 months of Notice of Allowance (extendable).

Foreign Priority (Section 44(d)):

For applicants with an Indian or other Paris Convention country trademark filed within the past 6 months. Claims the foreign application date as the US priority date.

Foreign Registration (Section 44(e)):

For applicants with an existing Indian or foreign registration. The US registration is based on the foreign registration — no use-in-commerce evidence required.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a US address to file a USPTO trademark?+
No US address is required. However, all foreign applicants must appoint a US-licensed attorney as their representative before the USPTO (mandatory since August 2019). We co-ordinate with our US counsel network for all USPTO filings on your behalf.
What is the TEAS Plus application?+
TEAS Plus is the USPTO's reduced-fee electronic application using pre-approved identifications of goods/services from the USPTO's ID Manual. Government fee: $250 per class (vs $350 for TEAS Standard). Using TEAS Plus requires strict compliance with identification requirements — our team ensures the correct identification for your goods/services.
What is an intent-to-use application?+
An intent-to-use (ITU) application allows you to reserve a mark before you begin selling in the USA. You file the application, and upon approval, you have 6 months (extendable up to 3 years total) to file a Statement of Use showing actual use of the mark in US commerce before the mark registers.
How long does US trademark registration take?+
Currently 12–18 months for a use-based application without complications. The USPTO examines the application (3–4 months), publishes it for opposition (30 days), and then issues the registration certificate. Office Actions (which require responses) add 3–6 months. Intent-to-use applications take longer due to the use-in-commerce requirement.
Can I claim priority from my Indian trademark?+
Yes. Under the Paris Convention, you can file a US trademark application claiming priority from your Indian application if filed within 6 months of the Indian filing date. The US application will have the same priority date as the Indian application, protecting your filing date against third parties who filed in the US after your Indian filing.
