What is a trademark?

A trademark is generally a word, phrase, symbol, or design, or a combination of these

elements, that identifies and distinguishes the source of one party’s goods from those of others. A service mark is the same as a trademark except that it identifies and distinguishes the source of a service rather than goods. The terms “trademark” or “mark” are commonly used to refer to both trademarks and service marks. Although federal registration of a mark is not mandatory, it has several advantages, including notice to the public of the registrant’s claim of ownership of the mark, a legal presumption of ownership nationwide, and the exclusive right to use the mark on or in connection with the goods and/or services listed in the registration.

The U.S. Trademark Office issued the following 165 trademark registrations to persons and businesses in Indiana in October 2014 based on applications filed by Indiana trademark attorneys:

The following improvements were made by the United States Patent and Trademark Office to the Electronic Trademark Assignment System (“eTAS”) during fiscal year 2014. These enhancements are designed to facilitate filing and recording assignments with the Assignment Recordation Branch.

  • NEW CONVEYANCE TYPES: Added three new Conveyance Types to improve database specificity and reduce the need to file two documents in the case of a merger involving a name change:
  • Merger and Change of Name” allows customers to select both conveyance types in a single submission
  • Entity Conversion 
  • Court Order
  • ORDER OF RECORDATION: Added a method for customers to designate the order of recordation for multiple, related assignment submissions.
  • PHONE COMMUNICATION: Introduced new service in which the USPTO will contact customers by phone: (1) to resolve recordation issues rather than issuing a Non-Recordation Notice, and (2) to help identify potential typographical errors that might result in the filer having to file a subsequent corrective assignment.
  • ELECTRONIC RESUBMISSION: Added electronic resubmission capability allowing customers who receive a Non-Recordation Notice to resubmit the corrected paperwork electronically.
  • COUNTRY CODES: Updated and reordered country codes in the eTAS (1) to be consistent with other USPTO systems such as the Trademark Electronic Application System and (2) to enable the USPTO to add and delete countries from the list.
  •  SPECIAL CHARACTERS: Added the ability for customers to enter special characters in the name fields in eTAS. For example, customers may now enter a corporation called XYZ*, Inc. as a name.
  • NOTICE DELIVERY: Instituted delivery of recordation notices via three methods in succession: (1) first attempt is via email, (2) if email is unsuccessful, then send via fax and, (3) if fax is unsuccessful, then send via postal mail.
  • VERIFICATION: Added a statement to the validation page requiring a filer to verify that he/she is aware that the unauthorized use of eTAS is a misrepresentation to the federal government, is prohibited and is subject to criminal and civil penalties. This change was made in an attempt to prevent the filing of false transfers against another’s property.
  • The U.S. Trademark Office issued the following 185 trademark registrations to persons and businesses in Indiana in September 2014 based on applications filed by Indiana trademark attorneys:

    Washington, D.C. – The opinion in Blackhorse v. Pro Football, Inc., TTAB Cancellation No. Redskins-Helmet.jpg92046185, resolved the petition of five Native Americans who filed for the cancellation of six “Redskins” trademarks with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (“USPTO”).

    Yesterday, in a 177-page opinion, the Trademark Trial and Appeal Board (“TTAB” or “Board”) canceled six trademark registrations belonging to The Washington Redskins. All of the trademark registrations included the term “Redskins.”

    Trademark attorneys for the petitioners argued that the term “Redskins” was disparaging of Native Americans. Under 15 U.S.C. § 1052, registration of a mark may be denied if that mark “Consists of or comprises immoral, deceptive, or scandalous matter; or matter which may disparage or falsely suggest a connection with persons, living or dead, institutions, beliefs, or national symbols, or bring them into contempt, or disrepute.”

    The U.S. Trademark Office issued the following 173 trademark registrations to persons and businesses in Indiana in May 2014 based on applications filed by Indiana trademark attorneys:
