What are the different kinds of marks?
There are different types of marks that can be registered:
- Trademarks: Used to register a name, logo, or slogan related to the sale of goods.
- Service marks: Used to register a name, logo, or slogan related to the sale of services.
- Intent to Use applications: Useful for future marks that are not yet used to sell goods or services. These applications establish a company’s place in line based on the filing date, even if the mark is not yet in use. A statement of use is filed once goods or services are sold with the mark.
