US Trademark Registration

Unlike many countries, the United States follows a 'First-to-Use' trademark system. This means registration is granted only to those currently using the mark in commerce or who can prove a genuine intent to use it. This protection is limited to the U.S. and its territories (such as Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands). For global expansion, we recommend applying in your target markets ahead of time to ensure your brand is protected and you can take immediate action against copycats.

United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO)

Trademarks in the United States are centrally managed by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO). Applicants must submit their registration applications to the USPTO, and trademark rights are only granted upon successful examination and approval.
