Intellectual Property Office Includes FilingCosts

America is one of the few countries that uses a first-to-use regime for trademark registration as opposed to a first-to-file. This adds complexity to filing a trademark because searching for existing trademarks becomes ever more difficult. The USA had the second-highest trademark applications in the world in 2018 (second only to China). Trademarks utilizing non-English wording must include a translation of that word. Non-Latin characters must be transcribed into the Latin alphabet. This and numerous other complexities make it essential to call on expert help to get your USA trademark application filed and successfully registered.
