Trademarks - A Guide to Filing a Mark
by
Book Cover & Preview Text
The choice of a mark to represent a business commercially and also to distinguish a product or service from another is crucial not only from a marketing and sales point of view but also to the registrability value of the mark. If a trademark application filed by an applicant with the U.S. PTO does not meet the criteria of registrability, the application will be rejected and the mark will be refused registration. Therefore, several factors must be considered when choosing the trademark. One must not only study whether the mark is identifiable and distinguishable for the product or service but also whether the chosen mark is suitable for registration with the U.S. PTO.
