Trademark FAQs - related questions & answers

Question: Do I have to be a U.S. Citizen to obtain a federal registration?

Answer:
No. However, an applicant's citizenship must be stated in the record. If an applicant is not a citizen of any country, then a statement to that effect is adequate.


Question: How do I find out if I need patent, trademark and/or copyright protection?

Answer:
Patents protect inventions and improvements to existing inventions. Copyrights cover literary, artistic, and musical works. Trademarks are brand names and/or designs which are applied to products.

Question: Are there federal regulations governing the use of the designations "TM" or "SM" with trademarks?

Answer:
No. Use of the symbols "TM" or "SM" (for trademark and service mark, respectively) may, however, be governed by local, state, or foreign laws and the laws of the pertinent jurisdiction must be consulted.
