Trademark FAQs - related questions & answers

Question: Can a business trademark a domain name for future use?

Answer:
It is possible to gain ownership of a trademark by filing an "intent-to-use" (ITU) trademark application with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (PTO) before actually starting to use the domain name.

Question: What is a specimen?

Answer:
A specimen is a real-world example of how the mark is actually used on the goods or in the offer of services. Labels, tags, or containers for the goods are considered to be acceptable specimens of use.

Question: Do you need to be a corporation to obtain a trademark?

Answer:
No. The trademark applicant is the one who owns the mark. Normally the person who produces the goods or who renders the services related to the mark controls the use of the mark.
