A quick definition of trademark application:
A trademark application is a written request by a mark owner to the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office for federal registration of a mark. The application includes a sample of the mark and a filing fee. The mark can be an existing one or a proposed one. A combined application is used to register a mark for more than one class of goods or services. An intent-to-use application is filed to protect a trademark that is not currently in commercial use but will be used in the future.
A more thorough explanation:
A trademark application is a written request made by the owner of a mark to the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office for federal registration of the mark. The application must be accompanied by a sample of the mark and a filing fee. The application can describe either an existing mark that is in use or a proposed mark.
- Apple Inc. files a trademark application for their logo, which is a bitten apple with a leaf on top. They include a sample of the logo and pay the filing fee.
- A small business owner files a trademark application for their new product name, which they plan to use in the future. They include a sample of the proposed name and pay the filing fee.
These examples illustrate how a trademark application is a formal request made by the owner of a mark to protect their intellectual property. The application must include a sample of the mark and a fee, and can describe either an existing mark or a proposed mark.
